A&E Melody Lyrics

You can deny all your addictions

De de de (mumbling)
(Burp)
Doobi do (mumbling)
(Burp)
Lala la la (mumbling)

That's how the melody goes, it's on tape so I won't forget it
Because I'm a pretty weird guy and I probably won't remember it
Because it's currently two-thirty in the morning
And I'm smoking cigarrettes and I just came up with this melody
Most of the lyrics and I guess it's going to turn into a song
So I guess I'll just put on the tape
Then again these tapes cost me two dollars
And I'm wasting more space then I should
So I'll shut up
So okay

(Jam session)

Keep it true to the song

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.

I don't think it was made into a "proper" song, but it's on the Invent Yourself a Shortcake cassette.

It's not a weird one...

It's him doing what any lyricist or author does.

When we don't know what to write, we write about that. Quite simple. I have four or five poems/lyrics just like this. Sometimes they're unique enough to get turned into something, and sometimes they aren't.
