a mixture of gravity and waggery

Nah, if I put an R sound at the end of "layer" (and "swear" and "prayer") they still don't come close to rhyming. Different number of syllables, different vowel sounds.

https://forvo.com/word/prayer/

Listen to the American accent pronunciations. In the song, Jon Bon Jovi extends the pronunciation of "there" to two syllables ("theh-hair") and flattens the Y in "prayer" to the same sort of H sound, similar to how the first American accent voice on the Forvo page pronounces it.

Your life and your quest end here.


All of these people are pronouncing it the same way I do.

The second voice here pronounces "prayer" to rhyme with "layer", but that is not how Bon Jovi pronounces it.

Right. And it doesn't rhyme with "layer" any of the ways it's pronounced on that site.

and don't even get me started on Shot Through The Heart, where Mr. Jovi himself pronounces "love" as "LEWOOOOOOOOWAHAAOWGGH"

i wouldn't say they rhyme in regular speech, but when sung i can easily imagine layer stretched to slant-rhyme with "there"

If you degenerates are getting this wound up over poetic license in modern song lyrics, your heads are gonna explode when you hear Elton John pronounce "Spain" in "Daniel"

Heimo turns into Danny, a legendary Finnish singer.



Apparently the guy also has a production company called "D-tuotanto" (Production D), and Vitamin D in Finnish is "D-vitamiini" so I guess this is also a reference to that?

These plots would make for a great RPG. I could see you going on a mission as Wallace to find the red glass item so that you can use it for the 'pop the balloon' mission.

OK I don't think she's scamming him, but I am surprised they're just going with "he accepts she's his daughter." I guess that's not what they want to have this story to be about, but a "let's have a blood test" and *time passes* could have taken care of it. It's not like they are trying to keep up with MW's breakneck speed and just can't take the time to do that.
