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.

In one of their trips abroad, the duo entered a taxi. The voice of the taxi's supervisor was heard from the radio communications. He said "I'm the supervisor, can I get a taxi number?", and IM based a song about it.

wrong man ;D In a 2004 interview, the band explained that the lyrics to "IM the Supervisor" are based on the band's attempts to call the reception desk in a German hotel for a taxi and Amit arguing with the receptionist in English. There was some sort of language barrier and she apparently could not understand his question "Can I get a taxi number?" At a certain point a frustrated Amit asked for the supervisor. The response was, "I'M the supervisor!!"

This song sounds like two completely different songs from the parts mentioned a supervisor to the parts asking you to come dance.

It has strong feeling, even if there is little to no meaning.
