Bad Mail
A parody of Bad Guy by Billie Eilish
A cheeky takedown of senders who skip permission, ignore feedback loops, and let complaint rates spiral — narrated from the perspective of the filtering systems flagging every bad habit. Covers list hygiene, FBL signals, sender reputation, and the non-negotiable role of explicit opt-in.

Verse 1
Clean send now red, block-list tag
Sendin’, you’re on your tippy toes
Creepin’ round like no one knows
Think you’re com-pliant though
Complaints in every queues from you
No real opt-in, no please
You do what you want when you’re wanting to
Metrics so cynical
Pre-Chorus
So you’re a smart guy
Like it really scales guy
Just can’t get enough guy
Send rate always puffed guy
You’re that bad type
Make your inbox spam type
Make your user mad type
Might confuse your dad type
You’re the bad mail
Duh
Chorus
You’re the bad mail
Verse 2
I flag it when you take control
Even when you know that you don’t
Own consent, I watch the role
I tag you as spam mail
My users like to scroll along with me
But they won’t click this mail
If they see all the patterns
They’ll pity the lists you use
Pre-Chorus
So you’re a smart guy
Like it really scales guy
Just can’t get enough guy
Send rate always puffed guy
You’re that bad type
Make your inbox spam type
Make your user mad type
Might confuse your dad type
You’re the bad mail
Duh
Chorus
You’re the bad mail, duh
You’re only good at bein’ bad, bad
Bridge
I like when you get flagged
I guess I’m pretty glad that you’re alone
You said users trust you?
I mean, I don’t see what they see
But maybe it’s ’cause I know your domain
Outro
You’re the bad mail
You, you’re the bad mail
Bad mail, bad mail
You’re the bad
