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 hilarious. Sadly, I also know that very few people I know will get this joke. Basically, this song is based upon the chorus of Bruce Springsteen's "Cadillac Ranch". It also sounds like a sing-a-long is happening in Daniel's living room.

The live version on 1990 is hilarious and brilliant. I'm gonna play it at my funeral and hopefully everyone will sing along. "Millions have died already. And you're going to too. So sing along won't you?"

I understand that this song is based on the Bruce Springsteen song but I don't find it funny. Infact I'd go as far to say that its profoundly moving. It's about when Daniel enters the funeral home that Laurie is working in, having not seen her in years. He's singing with such joy about what appears on the outset to be death but he's actually singing with such happiness because he's so overjoyed at seeing her again. Such a simple event but it changed alot of things in his life.
