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.
"bagpipes are not an Irish instrument"
WHAT?????????
This is like saying whiskey is not an Irish drink. Just because the scots have it as well doesn't mean that they invented it. Bagpipes, whiskey, kilts, the 'mac' in many Scottish surnames, the stone of scone, and a shitload of celtic culture was brought to Scotland by the Irish when they colonised it. Scotland was, for many years, considered to be a part of Ireland because Ulster established a colony there. Eventually, Scotland requested independence, and they got it and set up their own nation. But all that stuff was originally Irish. The scottish bagpipes were not the favourite pipes among Irishmen (we preferred the Uilleann pipes. They sound much nicer!), but were used because they're a lot more portable! They were played marching to battles and stuff.
They were considered one and the same by the Romans, who didn't understand and feared them (hence the wall), but they actually weren't. The Celts that the Romans met in Scotland were of a different race to the ones in Ireland. It wasn't until after the Roman invasion of Britain that the two countries (and I use the term in loosest of senses) merged.
As for Ireland being a region of Scotland, you're a wee bit off. In fact, it's the opposite. The kingdom of Alba was technically under the jurisdiction of the Ard Rí in Tara (old Ireland was never that clear cut), as I previously said. That is why Scots Gaelic is so similar to Ulster Irish.
Just because you're a classics major doesn't mean you know Irish history better than the natives! In fact, the "classic" view of the world never really understood the Celtic way of life and they regarded them as savages, which was just plain stupid.

I didnt even know that this song have those words! Bagpipes rule! This song is some irish jig that turns into Scottland the brave!
I love this song!
i think this song brings out the irish in everyone..........
oh it sure DOES..i'd love to be in the pit during this song!
Fuck a pit.
This is an adaptation of the traditional Scotland the Brave. There is nothing Irish about it; bagpipes are not an Irish instrument.
yeah, scotland the brave is one of my favorite bagpipe tunes.
This song was a spin off of an old Celtic bagpipe song, Scotland the Brave. Bagpipes played by Joe Delany of Boston.
