ABABA, AAA, ABC

It may be unclear for the reader what ABABA, AAA, ABC refer to. I assume it's some rhyme pattern, but other readers mayn't be so bright as me. --Montchav 09:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the A, B and C refers to parts of the tune, not rhyme pattern. Here is an example:

In this example, the first line has one melody (the A part) and the second line has a different melody (the B part). In this tune you play the first part twice, followed by the second part twice, so the pattern will be AABB.

In modern pop music, a song often has two melodies: a verse and a chorus. The verse would be the A part and the chorus B, giving you a pattern of AB. Sometimes you get 2 verses for each chorus, so that would be AAB.
