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.
All aboard! This is the last train to Bucketheadland!
La-ladies and germs, i-if you’d look to your right you’ll see Giant Robot, one of the first attractions on this last train ride to Bucketheadland. Oh my god, Giant Robot. Johnny Sokko, where are you today? You rode doom for eternity, supporting Giant Robot with Jerry Mano. Speaking of Jerry Mano ladies and germs, to your right, you’ll notice under construction, nearly complete, is Jerry Mano’s executive wonder ride. Be careful, ther-there’s still construction in process. Don’t let any of your children jump out of the cars.
Uh-huh, ooh, I, I, I even forgot about this attraction, the, the, the Siamese Twins of Doom Landslide Mountain to your left again ladies and germs! Oh my god, when this is completed, Bucketheadland will be complete. I - to your left, to your left again, as we pass, around this curve, Edwin Neal’s Sausage Massacre Hayride. You’ll notice a giant stand of a-Edwin, poking his sausages at the dinner table. That’s where tickets are sold. I never knew wha-wha-what-what-what made his appetite so unquestionably released for the sausages. But without that appetite, we would not be able to love him.
Yeaahahah! Leather-Leatherface’s Castle. There’s only a sign, ladies and gentlemen, to the right, that designates the spot where it would be built. This will probably be the third or fourth phase Bucketheadland, we’re-we’re not sure yet.
Our-our engineers are committed with so many ideas! Huh- we only can take them one at a time! We’re-we’re trying to offer you everything we can! Wi-with Edwin Neal’s Sausage Ride, wh-what at else do you want!
It’s been a long day at Bucketheadland, ladies and gentlemen. The engineers get very weary, uh…oh! Very weary- I have to go home. Have a little feed of barbital, sit down, play my Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game. Sorry for the erratic behavior on this last train to Bucketheadland, but your engineer’s at the end of his leash.
[Come back! back! back…]
We wish you many more pleasurable visits. We wish a lifetime of fun, even when you’re not in this wonderland of joy. We wish you happiness in whatever you do.
Can we go on this trip again?
That was the last train… did you enjoy it?
Kind- it was kind of scary, but I liked it.
Do you want to go back again?
Yeah!
When?
Next summer!
