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 song always makes me cry. I first heard it while I was making flapjacks for the lady I was dating at the time. Kraftwerk seems to be explaining and creating techno pop simultaneously using synthesizers and onomatopoeia. The song could also mean that if you are walking and thinking you might want a sausage of any kind, don't forget the beverages. The same can be said to apply to flapjacks.I realized Kraftwerk was sending me messages while I was getting ready to flip a flapjack and began to laugh. My lady friend was perplexed and asked what I was laughing about. I tried to explain it to her, but her face started melting and walls kept pulsating and my lady friend thought I was asking her for the oral sex so I stopped trying to explain and we ate our flapjacks on the back patio with maple syrup and butter. Then she did me orally.
