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 frightning. A karaoke instrumental? Just being karaoke is bad enough, but an "instrumenal." Does karaoke not have something to do with singing other people's songs? How do ya sing this one? I am so confused. However, after listening to this gem (LOL), I believe it would be best titled 'Silly Man.' I am still affectionately smiling after someone so special did something rather evil, but then followed the law with that turn signal. It truly sums up the silly man.....up to no good, but deep down the real good comes out and he signals a turn. A literal turn. How could anyone be upset about that. Now the 20 feet or so is another matter, but I can't do anything about that :-) Happy Sunday. Happy listening to great music day. No karaoke. It should be banned like guns, but then again we all know how well criminals (or karaokians) follow laws :-)
