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.
It's the only thing you do during the days
You're sitting there in Ventrilo and playing DotA
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
I hear you man
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
I feel you man
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
And pushing on and owning
With the opponents we're playing
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
And running around and creeping
And the opponents we're sleeping (x5)
Have one on the house
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
I hear you man
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
I feel you man
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
That's more like it
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
Excellent choice
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
And pushing on and owning
With the opponents we're playing
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
And running around and creeping
And the opponents we're sleeping
Let's get it on
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
And pushing on and owning
With the opponents we're playing
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
And running around and creeping
And the opponents we're sleeping (x5)
Don't worry, be happy
