ledbettered

To relegate an extremely brilliant song to the status of a B-side or soundtrack contribution. The origin comes from Pearl Jam leaving the absolutely awesome track "Yellow Ledbetter" off of their 1991 debut album 'Ten', instead making it the B-side to "Jeremy", although "Yellow Ledbetter" has since become one of their most well-known songs.

Person A: Man, I just heard "Girl Afraid" by The Smiths for the first time! I can't believe it was a B-side!
Person B: Yeah, man, they totally ledbettered it.

Yellow Ledbetter 

verb. To mumble incomprehensible, similar-sounding phonetics over song lyrics someone isn't sure about.

This is done as a lame attempt to cover up for the fact that someone really doesn't know the words, when the more appropriate action would have been to just shut the fuck up. It is your moral obligation to bust this person out, to preempt future singing fail.

Bob (singing): When the light's out, it's less dangerous! Here we are now, In containers!

John: Dude, did you just Yellow Ledbetter all over Kurt Cobain?! Spare me your song-desecration, Lamesauce!
