Two Words: "Crazy/Baby"

Since I'm going to be blogging about old singles, this gives me a rare opportunity to chronicle the "Baby/Crazy Phenomenon". You see, "Baby" does not rhyme with "Crazy". I repeat they DO NOT rhyme. So, whenever I get to a song that has a baby crazy rhyme I will add a small footnote that does not count in the 100 words that says:

Baby/Crazy: N

where N represents the number of times that baby and crazy were supposed to rhyme but didn't. For the purposes of this experiment, if they are merely inserted to make a line more assonant, I will count the pairs.

All this at NO ADDITIONAL COST.
