No one says it that way in normal conversation. Does it sound cooler?

I can hear Steven Tyler singing it as I read your post.

You do understand that singing is a form of musical expression and the sacrifice of diction to make the lyrical content work with the music is not only expected, it is required, right?
I mean, surely you know that on the Music board, right?

The "eh" vowel sound, melisma-ized, is more pleasing to hear than "uh", which sounds like a grunt.

If you really want to ask the big questions:
Why do Americans think THIS is a rhyme?
Maybe it rhymes in England, but not here. It's especially embarrassing when Americans try to sound English for this one word in order to force a rhyme.

Chris Robinson likes to pretend he is a hick.

Usually to make a dodgy rhyme scheme work

Dodgy rhymes have sustained rock n roll for the last 30 years.

Probably has something to do with a nice sounding lyrical song and something that will flop because the cohesion of music and lyric do not flow to gether.
