Throw That Beat In The Garbage Can Lyrics

Here it comes again, drivin' me nuts
Can't control my feet or stop shakin' my butt
The neighbours are complaining, it's getting out of hand
Throw that beat in the garbage can
Toss that beat, beat, beat, beat
Toss that beat, beat, beat, beat
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
It's drivin' me crazy Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Stop that beat, it makes me apprehensive
Sweat ruins my clothes, they are very expensive

The neighbours are complaining, it's getting out of hand
Throw that beat in the garbage can
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
It's drivin' me crazy Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Toss that beat, beat, beat, beat (repeat)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I feel like this is a continuation of the "Party Out of Bounds" theme of the second album. Except now we are observing one character instead of the party as a whole.
