Disarticulation

When song writers slur or make up words to fill a void to carry the tune.
Jim Morrison uses disarticulation to carry the flow of the tune in the song "light my fire".

The phrase goes:

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Jim slurs the second line to be: No time to wallow window mire

It flows better and it sounds cool. Its the equivalent to poetic license in the world of singing.

Disarticulation is an artistic technique that allows singers to flow their phrases to create songs from poems.

Also preemptively excusing one for not having come up with a better matching expression. Customary decline in readiness to making a commitment to a statement.
Seems to have been invented by Paris Hilton, but now being used by like everyone - oh.
Dearticulation of finding an unexpectedly long line of people: "I was like walking down the street and saw like a hundred people standing a the gate, and I was like - oh my Gosh!
