The reason I never watched Stargate - and yes, those who don't know me think it's a petty reason What about those who do know you? :)
I knew a guy in college who didn't like Madonna's "Vogue" because at one point she rhymes "to it" with itself.

Those who do know me, like Bacon, will agree that for other mortals 'tis a petty reason indeed, but that's the way my grammar-lustful mind works. :)
I think I know the lines . . . "Something something let's get down to it, strike a pose there's nothing to it."
Ugh.
Ever hear of Albert Collins? He gave us the immortal "Brick" song, the first verse of which goes:
Brick, baby
That's what I'm gonna throw upside your head
I said now, brick, baby
That's what I'm gonna throw upside your head
Yeah, you got me so worried, got me talkin' outa my head
The guy ends a line with "head," then rhymes it with "head" . . . and for a third line to end the verse, he goes back to the well with "head."

Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He aint gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin off of the peoples taxes
I think all those lines are alleged to rhyme.
