... as dì, liǎo, zhuó, mo.

I just learned about this and thought it was interesting! Has anybody else run across song lyrics or other places where these words (as grammar particles) are pronounced differently from the usual pronunciations? Apparently this was mostly a thing in older songs (pre-1990s), so I'm curious if anyone else has noticed it.

( Brief anecdote for context )

( Explanations I found for this. )

Anyway, this was new to me so I thought I'd share. And now I'm curious if it's still common at all or if this is mostly just a thing of the past. Has anyone else run across any songs with these pronunciations? In particular, has anyone heard dì in songs not from 30+ years ago?
