100 songs which rhyme FYE-ya and diz-EYE-ya.

Bound by wild desire,
I fell in to a ring of fire.

For you’re the kind I tried so long to find
You set my soul on FYE-ya

81. "Shame On You" - Tomas Thordarson. (Denmark)

80. "Shake It" - Sakis Rouvas. (Greece)

I would trade my life
For a night with you
Driven by diz-EYE-ya
Make that move on me

With a word or a touch, I could have rekindled that FYE-a

76. "Desire" by 2 Unlimited

'Cause I'm filled with des-EYE-a
It's burning in the block with a fever like FYE-a

Well, substitute the Tom Jones cover version then. I will personally guarantee that Jones gets at least two syllables out of "fire".

Two hearts fading, like a flower
And All this waiting for the power
For some answer to this fire
Sinking slowly, waters higher
Umm desire, desire

She's my one Diz-EYE-ah
She's a frozen FYE-ah

that would be "i'm on fire," not "fire." but he doesn't come anywhere near the FYE-ya diz-EYE-ya pronunciation on that one.

- blazing saddles

Laying on the grass my heart it flares like FYE-ya
The way you slap my face just fills me with diz-EYE-ya

"I got guns for hire / shoot you with desire"

"You've got diz-EYE-ya
So let it out
You've got the FYE-ya
Stand up and shout"

Beatrice beware
he’ll come to you with his
black and starless hair on fire
though it’s not as if
he’s a bad egg he means well
Beatrice don’t stare
don’t make me rhyme you – know – what
with 'desire'
though it’s not as if
I’m a bad egg I mean well

Minnie Ripperton added it in her cover version with Jose Feliciano, though. Ay!

34. "Light My Fire" by Minnie Ripperton feat. Jose Feliciano:
Well then fill me with desire
Light my fire

Yello, "More". They also had a near miss with "Desiyah! For the unknown love! I'm burning!"

Where will it lead me?
Crumbling rock and stones on fire

On this path tonight

Good god there was a lot of this couplet in hard rock/glam; I'm stopping myself here.

oops that was 22, natch

U2 did songs called "Fire" and "Desire". One of them does the rhyme, the other does not.

"Fire"
"'Fire' was not a very good song. I always had this faith that we could make it up as we went along, but sometimes we couldn't, and that was a case in point. When you are in a place like Nassau, you don't really want to go in and work. You realize why all these great groups make crap records when they go to record there - who wants to go to the Bahamas and sit in a studio?" - Bono, U2

Whereas "Desire", does.

Then again, they also did "The Unforgettable Fire", which doesn't mention Fire or Desire, let alone rhyme them. Maybe they forgot?

21. Modern Talking You're My Heart, You're My Soul

First single of their cliche-ridden career, opening line:

Deep in my heart there's a fire, a burning heart
Deep in my heart there's desire for a start

20. kevin ayers - rheinhardt & geraldine

19. Journey - "Only The Young"

Only the young can say
They're here to fly away
Sharing the same diz-EYE-ya
Burning like wildFYE-ya

(Actually it's more like desaaaaah / wildfaaaaah but whatever)

Drake might've been reading this thread - he did Fire & Desire last year but the rhyme only features in the title, not in the actual lyrics.

18. Wu-Tang Clan - Triumph

Play my position in the game of life standing firm
On foreign land jump the gun out the frying pan into the fire
Transform into the Ghost Rider
A six-pack and A Streetcar Named Desire

lol nice piece by Marc Spitz on this http://www.salon.com/2015/08/15/this_is_the_laziest_rhyme_in_all_of_songwriting_history_and_great_artists_use_it_all_the_time/

Hey there! I've been keeping a list of fire/desire songs for a while now. I made a Spotify playlist with the stuff I found, plus songs from this forum - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3GI37lxNyGHPrFgGsf26dD?si=HRtXCGGNQ8W2WzJF8pPnpA

It seems like it's been a while since folks have posted here... but hopefully someone will enjoy this!
