Polysyllabic words are hard to rhyme and are even harder to sing.

Some critics of the early work of the Beatles complained that their lyrics were too simplistic. John Lennon's response was to write "Help," making sure to include "appreciate," "self-assured," and "independence" just to prove they could sing multi-syllable words.
