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.
Honestly this is pretty blatantly obvious. This song is a DIRECT tribute to Eddie Hazel's famed 10 minute guitar solo from the title track on Funkadelic's classic album "Maggot Brain". Both songs are VERY similar, and showcase the emotion that can be covered in an instrumental. Wide-spread legend has it that George Clinton asked Hazel to play "as if his mother had just died". The result was a heartbreaking and beautiful guitar solo. Ween are notorious for paying clever homage to their influences, and this is one of the most well-executed examples.

Actually you only tell half the story. George said to play the 1st half of the song as if you had just heard your mother had died and then he said to play the 2nd half as if she had come back to life, or wasn't going to die. Or something like that. If you listen there is quite the emotional shift in there.

I know that this is an instrumental, but honestly, I would have expected more people to comment on this one by now. It's absolutely beautiful! Hmm... a tribute to some guy named Eddie? That's all I can come up with.
Its about the decision to no longer embrace the Eddie Dingle alter ego. Every album including, and before chocolate and cheese mentions eddie dingle. chocolate and cheese mentions shedding a tear for him as he will no longer be a part of ween.
Where is the Eddie Dingle reference on Pure Guava? I don't thik there is one, so therefore, I think tat the guy who said the thing about an Eddie Dingle reference on every album before C&C is wrong.
Mourning Glory is about Eddie Dingle. All through the song he hides in a pumpkin patch to scare these three children. I always thought Eddie Dingle was a real person. Hmmm...

wowwowowow
It has nothing to do with Eddie Dingle. Its a tribute to Eddie Hazel, the late funk guitarist
BazookaTooth is right. Eddie Hazel of Funkadelic died in late 1992, and this is Ween's tribute to him.
Has anyone heard any version of this live when they stretch it out to upwards of ten minutes? One can be found here: http://www.archive.org/details/ween1997-11-27.sbd.shnf
It's pretty amazing in my opinion. Deaner is a very talented guitarist, but never really gets recognized for it, which is a shame.
Eddie Dingle hides inside Mourning Glory laughing at the pumpkins. A Tear for Eddie got me into Ween.
.........Amazing!

thanks a lot for that 10 min Eddie. The holy grail of Eddie! Been searching for this, not knowing if there was a long Eddie, my whole ween career.
