Love, American Style Lyrics

"I know you," she said, "You're that guy from my TV!
You're that guy who killed all those kids!"
We got off to a pretty good start.
"Oh, boy, look what we've won!
Ohboyohboyohboyohboy!"
Love, American Style
"Oh, yeah, um...which one?
Geraldo or Montel or good old Oprah?
All those shows are one.
The eating of brains and the bleeding of hearts,
it all makes for some pretty cool art."
We got off to a pretty good start.
We got off.

Keep it true to the song

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 is obviously about America's love for shitty tv. It's not beneficial for our minds, but it sure pulls at our emotions. He has a love/hate relationship with tv. The older he gets, the more trashy tv gets. It was all good when he was young and tv was more wholesome.
