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.
For goodness sakes, the song is from 1971 and already on the Web; here are the lyrics. Haven't a clue as to what they mean, but since it's Hump Day maybe someone can figure 'em out;)
Oh, my baby forgot
that the rocks can also
sing a song of love
Oh, somebody told me
that she was sleeping
with a tricky guy
Chorus:
Hey baby change your manners
and go by the way of the sun
Can't you see that this kind of sex
is gonna let you down? let you down
Oh, take is so easy when I tell you
not to run away
Babe try to understand
and don't turn your face to reality
(Chorus)
Oh my baby forgot
that the rocks can also
sing a song of love
sing a song of love
sing a song of love.
