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.

The problem with this song is that there's no way the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh. The horse just goes in the direction that it's prodded. It might be familiar with the route but it has NO IDEA if they're going to Grandma's house or some place different. How can they just trust the horse to know where it's going? It doesn't make any sense! Maybe if it was in the kitchen the night before and heard them talking about their plans to go to Grandma's house, then maybe. But there's usually 2 Grandmas in every family. Maybe they were talking about the other Grandma. So you're just going to let this animal 'carry' your family to where ever it thinks you want to go? And how can a horse even carry a sleigh? It doesn't have arms or hands, duh! It has something like big toenails on all of its feet. It can't carry ANYTHING! This song make me so angry. I can't stand listening to it anymore.
