I'm trying to find a song, maybe just to hear it again and figure out what I was listening to. Might have heard it in a retail environment 2000 - 2006. The basics of the song are end rhyming /Eis/ as in the English word ice. The lyrics went something like "I think it was really really nice/ I think it was a really nice price," but I am mostly sure those aren't the words, just the sound that rhymed. Thus the retail connection. More inside.
I associate this song with when I was working in retail between 2000 and 2006. I'm pretty sure I heard it on the prescribed media played in the store, but I might be wrong. The reason I mention the environment is that it might have been a song specifically written and produced for that retail environment, Pacific Sunwear, in a US shopping mall in that period.
But it might not have been. I've been googling, and only current pop songs are coming up, and that Price Tag song that made it into Pitch Perfect. But I know there was a song.
So. The content might not have been about the price of something at all, I'm just pretty sure the end rhyme was /Eis/. And I'm sorry, I can't do the characters to represent IPA with that curved E. It just sounds like English "ice."
I'm also pretty sure (though less than the /Eis/ sound) that preceding that were words that sounded like "pretty" and "really" (again repeating that /i/ sound at the end of a two-syllable world) right before it, maybe many times.
The variations I've thought of that aren't turning up any results for this couplet are: "I think it was really really nice/ I think it was a really good price," "It was a really good price/ and I thought it was really really nice." And variations on that theme, but I might be really really wrong about what the song was referring to. And it might not have been in a retail environment.
I think it was a female singer, a la Cooking by the Books Remix in theme and tone, but maybe not. The tone was also simple and short, at least for the chorus; it wasn't complicated to understand.
Bonus question: I know this is a question about end rhyme at some points. What is the part of the word called in that rhyme? So if /i/ is the rhyming part, what is the part of "really" with the /i/ called? It's the second syllable, I know that. I also know that it's internal rhyme when the word occurs in the middle of the line. My question is focused on whether or not there is a word for the second syllable of really, whether it's at the end of a line or in the middle.
Thanks! |
