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.
My friends and I were in the bar of a bowling alley, we noticed that the single with this song was in the jukebox. We knew what it was. We speculated over what big assholes we'd be if we queued it up. We didn't do it. A few minutes later, we see that we didn't have to. Somebody else dropped a quarter for 23 minutes of music.
So it plays through and my friend and I are jamming out on all the coolest parts and weedling along to the guitar parts vocally, nobody else seems to care. We wonder who put this on, who would've been that cool, and it gets to Die.
And Die plays
for several minutes.
Eventually an aggitated drinker gets up and shakes the jukebox, he specify's to everyone around him "it's skipping". Another guy approaches saying "don't worry about it, it's almost over" (obviously the guy who put in to hear it.) and the aggitated guy gives it another rough shake, actually causing the jukebox to give up and skip to the next one.
It's obvious why it would've frustrated people, seriously who wants to listen to those three drawn out notes for almost ten minutes? And by that point all the most enjoyable parts have been long over so we didn't mind the guy displaying his impatience, it made for good show. We found it very amusing.
It is cool but it kind of pisses me off, because all the sudden you'll hear this really cool riff or song and you'll be like hell yeah this is awesome, then 5 seconds later is flickers to the next one :(
this song is fucking cool, they just need to release all those demos that they blended and make money,here I'll take the liberty of playing the happy consumer,oh and the pumpkins need to get back together, has anyone ever heard of the phrase "don't let a good thing go to waste"
there's probably mostly pieces of songs and riffs they were just toying around with. I doubt many of these were ever full-fledged songs. Then again, "Disconnected" became "Aeroplane Flies High," and SP were prolific as fuck, so we'll never know...

Love this song. Anyone know why they called it Pastichio medley?
