Great article! 😆

How about Duran Duran's belter from "Is There Something I Should Know?" -

Don't say you're easy on me

You're about as easy as a nuclear war

I love U2 but the lyrics to 'All Because of You' wasn't one of their best moments: 'I like the sound of my own voice/I never gave anyone else a choice/an intellectual tortoise....'

Trying to rhyme 'voice' and 'tortoise' is pushing what's possible in the name of assonance to the absolute limit.
