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.
According to http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podshows/3737871 :
"Wot Gorilla?" is a reference to touring drummer Chester Thompson being namechecked on "Florentine Pogen", a track on Frank Zappa's 1975 album "One Size Fits All". Thompson performed drums on the track, the outro section of which features the repeated vocal phrase "Chester's gorilla".
Btw, this is a rare Collins/Banks collaboration, not unlike some of the instrumental music by Brand X.
Genesis' attempt at jazz/rock fusion after they tried and failed to rehearse Hacektt's "Please Don't Touch". Given that Collins was going great guns with Brand X as a side project I am surprised this doesn't really work.
