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.
Its about fat mike hating the smell of nasty cigarettes everywhere he goes. Remember this song is old and when Surfer came out you could pretty much smoke any where.
Big round of applause
For California laws
California was the first of to ban smoking in bars and resturants out of every where
Act like human beings
Instead of Europeans
It used to be Europeans smoked everywhere and everything smelled cigarettey fat mike probably hated it when he toured there. I`m pretty sure most bars and restaurants in EU still let you smoke
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
Yeah, does he mean that europeans are no human beings? ^^ Or does he mean that europeans really smoke a lot?
