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 incorrect. According to Noel and Julian in The Mighty Book of Boosh, it's "Oo Oo Oo/I did a twisty/Oo Oo Oo/A tiny twisty/Twist him up, twist him down/Twist him all around/Like the cobra/Dancing to the music of/The pipe, the pipe, the pipe/The pipe of life/Aa ee ai ee ah ee ai/Kalamar shalamar/Cinima in the night/It's such a good thing/Don't forget to bring popcorn/Tony and his Paper Castle" And, it's called the "TWISTY CRIMP", FYI
