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 is a lot like Interstellar Overdrive, except much, much better. It is almost 11 minutes long, and features Nick Mason setting the tone with drums (does the opening remind anybody of White Rabbit), with Syd (?) doing crazy stuff on his guitar.
Whoever said that Interstellar Overdrive was THE psychadelic rock song has obviously never listened to this one.
That song was featured in a movie called "Tonight Let's All Make Love In London"; it was released on various bootlegs and a rare EP (the soundtrack to the film). The EP features a long version (16 minutes, I think) of Interstellar Overdrive on the first side and Nick's Boogie on the other.
"Nick" is Nick Mason.
slight correction for clarification to your bracket inpraiseoffolly: the "London 67" "Interstellar Overdrive" (of which was referred with "Tonight Let's All Make Love in London" aka "London 67") predates that of the one on Piper's at the Gate of Dawn and thus is the original.
All the same, the song "Nick's Boogie" does have a meaning, as i think he was around with Bob Klose, making him one of the few remaining members to make it through today, and as a foundation member wanted to set the pace as with what the band was becoming, thus two songs with one being done by Mason with the other being a Syd tune.
Watch "Live at Pompeii" do get a great Nick Mason show durring "One of these Days (I'm going to cut you into little pieces)"

I think I need to start commenting on this song once a day, until people start paying attention to it.
Listen to this song over headphones while lying in bed, preferably in the middle of the night (3:00 A.M. or so). It greatly heightens the experience.

This song is still better than the 16 minute version of Interstellar Overdrive (though that one was better than the original).
