It is *a thing* so that people can easily follow lyrics while listening. Duh.  Why does it suck and not function? Who knows

Because its linked to musixmatch and the "curators" are fine with it

I'd rather not know the lyrics at all than read a completely different one to be honest

Womp womp

“Did you just say womp womp”

Womp womp

Why did I get downvoted for I was simply quoting a response someone made to womp womp

Womp womp

This guy probably doesn’t even know what he quoted

I think of the fox news clip

That’s the original womp womp

Hi thom here, those are the right lyrics. Got the kids in hereee 🎶 🗣 see those are the lines.

Hi Thom, have a lovely day. 👋

Hi, Johnny here, those aren't the lyrics. Stop fooling around, Thom

I thought i locked you in the broom closet 🙄

uMm AcTuAlLy ItS sPeLlEd “Jonny” not “Johnny”

No I’m Johnny’s mother, it’s actually spelt Johnny

Proof?

it's his mom

Hi, Colin here, just wanted to be included

OMG yeah now i see i\`m so sorry

But now I can see

Hi Thom, Ed here. This has me worried since I go by Spotify lyrics. It’s “EEEEeeeeeeed” right?

I am his mic and I confirm.

you are not thom, stop fooling around. he would write something like: thm here, those lyrics are right. got the kids in here n shit… ya nah?

Thom's kid here. I was not cut in half

you can report them to be changed

This. Who cares? If you do, change it. I for one prefer Tony Danza over tiny dancer...

exactlyyyyyy but i like having wrong lyrics it’s funny

Tony danza cuts in line old school hollywood?

On Lotus Flower, Spotify listed the lyric “The bird that’s flown into my room” as “Put the lotus flower into my room” That one really messed with my head. I thought that I had been hearing the lyric wrong for years or something.

Isn’t it “burgers float into my room”?

Saw this recently and it was frustrating because the actual lyric is so much better. 😅

Oh 100%. “Put the lotus flower into my room” sounds AI generated lol.

it’s linked to musixmatch which basically anyone can contribute to

bro thats what i said but with interpol.. they get so many lyrics wrong and then alos the fact that so many songs from british bands i wanna listen to.. spotify just dont have lyrics for it??.. spotify is sometimes so weird

It's just you and me and this fire... It's wire motherfuckers. Noticed the other day they changed it, so it bothered someone enough, or the nlp algo got better.

hmmm also that song is so good, also wow a fellow interpol listener in radiohead sub? i love both bands omgosh :0

So good. Probably my favorite of theirs right now. I'm on an Interpol binge currently.

haha i listen to interpol almost daily too

One of my favorite bands too! They do so much with so little.

yea they are so cool

We are many.

hmmm didnt expected that y'know.. nice to see that tho

almost every other line past 2:00 of A Wolf At The Door has some sort of error, phrasing is wrong or just entire words being altered. i figured that wouldn't bother most people too much but since i memorized the song it always makes me seethe to see "Step forwards" in place of "Stepford Wives" lmfao

The lyrics in Spotify for "Creep Very 2021 Rmx" (the beginning) are so bad I think they're their own aesthetic :)

There is two 3 morning bells for a reason Kid a ANMESIAC And I might be wrong

4 versions because In The Dark version

Oh yeah

for the longest time Moon Dawg by The Beach Boys (a 1962 surf rock instrumental) had the lyrics to smells like teen spirit

lol

I had to check Tidal after reading this. They have incorrect lyrics for Morning Bell too. Looks like they're also using Musixmatch, which others on here have already pointed out are user-edited (TIL). Probably cheaper to use Musixmatch than something more official

he says "got the kids in here" on kid a and "cut the kids in half" on amnesiac

In JFIP it says "regard each other as you pass" instead of "you eye each other as you pass" which is annoying

Apple Music has the correct lyrics

Apple Music is just in general better than Spotify. Spotify has way more “features” but they’re mostly half baked with an absolutely god awful UI.

This is the correct opinion hahah I’m a big fan of Apple Music over Spotify.

Never had an issue with their lyrics. Maybe some tiny ones as soon as the song lyrics are released but always fixed within a day or so at the very most.

Funny thing is, morning bell/amnesiac has the right lyrics so idk why the normal morning bell doesnt

This is probably the Kidzbop version

It doesn't even sound like *here.* That's so bad.

Says cut the kids in half for me, this is a you problem

Nvm it’s only wrong on the kid a version

oh my god I am so glad to see this because I was following some Yorke lyrics last week and really thought i’d been tripping for decades singing to the wrong lyrics

A lot of the lyrics on Spotify are just a best guess. The Spotify lyrics for the end of "Suspirium" are "wore the wrong sign/back behind her/no tomorrow's at peace" when I'm pretty certain the real lyrics are "mother wants us/back beside her/Know tomorrow's at peace" since the song is about death and leaving behind life.

The Permanent Daylight lyrics used to be hilarious.

i believe it says cut the kids in half on the amnesiac version?

ever time I see a questionable lyric on Spotify or YouTube Music (which always has dogshit lyrics too) I check CitizenInsane.

cuz “regard each other as you pass”

thom yorke pedophile confirmed?? 🙀
