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.
I think it's cool how this song is almost identical to Blitzkrieg, so it takes you a second to actually know what song you're listening to when you stick the tape in.
"Loudmouth" was written by Dee Dee and Johnny about a mouthy girlfriend. It was probably inspired by "Chatterbox," one of Dee Dee's favorite songs by the New York Dolls.

It's pretty obvious.

haha yeah, this song is straightforward and awesome.
I love the Ramones. Look at those lyrics!! Is it dumb? Is it ingenious? I'd say the latter.
@lobartomee no doubt DISingenuous

Haha, the lyrics are awesome! They make fun of the guys who are like "Shut up or I'll smack you"...

Is it just me, or does when Joey sing "You're a loudmouth baby", it sounds like he is singing "You are not my baby"?
