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.
This song is Maynard at his peak. The story behind this song is he was playing Super Nintento while high on cough syrup (DXM), and decided it would be a funny song for his album. Of course, as with every Tool song, there is a much deeper meaning. This song outlines every inch of human emotions. It is a perfect example of the anger, joy, and pain that humans go through throughout their daily lives. Anyone who cannot see this is a subhuman.
Erm, elderlymachanic, you're completely mental if you think a word less song is about death. I wouldn't call a lot of word-less songs death. Whenever I listen to music off the sonic series from the megadrive, I don't scream 'AAAH! DEATH' and run out of my house. And organs are played at weddings too- think about that.
This song has no deeper meaning. It's obviously just a joke song played half way between the cd as an intermission- exactly as you would find at a stage performance or sometimes during some older films. They would play cheesy music on par with this halfway through the whatever with the words 'INTERMISSION' on a screen in the case of films. It allowed you to go have a piss or go get a drink while not missing the film.
Infact, the Offspring also have an 'Intermission' song which they played halfway through their live set last time they were here.
So that's all it is, a cheesy organ version of Jimmy's intro riff put in for a bit of fun. It's great too, I find myself obsessivly listening to it.
this is not the music to super nintendo or anything else, this is the music to jimmy played cartoon style, if u listen to it and then let jimmy play, u will see its the same music.
This song always makes me think of the Final Fantasy games. It would make a GREAT Chocobo tune because it sounds SO cute to me. Of course, this is coming from a girl who is obsessed with Tool and Final Fantasy o_O"

Yeah, guys seriously, it's just a connection song, that sounds like circus intermission music. It's the tune from Jimmy, and no more.
This is my favorite song on Aenima! It is cool!
This is actually the music from the song "Jimmy" played on in a cheesy rollerskate-rink organ style.
If you play this song backwards nothing happens
