Nirvana's, "All Apologies"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Sunburn, freezerburn
Chokin' on the ashes of her enemies
Chokin' on the ashes of her enemies
Why They're Misrhymed:
The rest of the song sort of has a rhyme scheme, but I'm pretty sure freezerburn doesn't rhyme with enemies.

Nirvana's, "All Apologies"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
What else could I write
I don't have the right
I don't have the right
Why They're Misrhymed:
It's a pair of homonyms... sort of like same-word rhyming.

Nirvana's, "Scentless Apprentice"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
There are countless formulas for pressing flowers
There are countless formulas for pressing flowers
Why They're Misrhymed:
First of all, pressing flowers and perfumed secrets have nothing to do with each other, or maybe I just don't get the metaphor. Second of all, flowers and perfume? Nice try Kurt.

I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
There are countless formulas for pressing flowers
There are countless formulas for pressing flowers
Why They're Misrhymed:
The second line really confuses you the first time you hear the song: it's the only pair of lines in this song that don't rhyme.
