Why doesn't he write a song called 'Mandarin' or 'Satsuma'?
Or Cheesy Poofs... that would be cool.

unfortunatley, 'doo hinge' is two words. its a fact, there is no word in the english dictionary to rhyme with orange.

effort = 100%

sucess = 0% biggrin

I think he only wrote Xenophobia

every other letter in the alphabet
apart from X.

Here I go a bit off topic...

English words with no rhyme...
Purple (there is a theme developing here)
Pint

I would argue words like 'marine', 'baleen', "forseen", etc. rhyme with 'tangerine'. But I guess it's all how you pronounce it.

Most likely because tangerine is 3 syllables, and the other two words aren't. But he could always add a verse about Chuck Berry's "Maybellene"...or the movie Soylent Green...Jimmy Dean...(yep, 2 words, I know)...omg
