Default lilt

I like the lilt of that song

That's one lilt I like very much.


If the sentences above are fine, please replace "lilt" with a word with an equal or close meaning to it; if not, provide a good sentence using "lilt." Thanks.

1) I like the lilt of that song. (OK).
2) That's one lilt I like very much. (Unnatural).
That's one rhythm I like very much.

We heard the lilt of Irish music coming from the cottage door.
There is a definite lilt to his speech.
