I Want to Opt Out
A parody of I Want to Break Free by Queen
A subscriber's anguished plea from the inbox trenches, this driving rock anthem dramatizes why one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058), honored opt-out preferences, and genuine permission-based sending aren't just compliance checkboxes — they're the difference between an engaged list and a complaint-rate disaster.

Verse 1
I want to opt out
I want to opt out
I want to opt out from your lists
You're so automated, I don't read you
I've got to opt out
God knows, God knows I want to opt out
Verse 2
I unchecked the box
I unchecked the box in your settings
But still you show up in my mail
I unchecked the box, yeah
God knows, God knows I unchecked the box
Bridge
You track what I do, yeah
I can't get over, the daily blasts you put me through
But I have to be sure
When I click on "Ignore"
Oh, how I want to unsub, baby
Oh, how I want to un-sub
Oh, how I want to opt out
Verse 3
The emails go on
I can't get used to scrubbing them out, scrubbing them out
Scrubbing them out to free up space
Deleting without a trace, hey
God knows, I just want a cleaner place
So sender, hear my shout
I've got to opt out
Outro
I've got to opt out
I want to opt out, yeah
(operatic harmony)
I want, I want, I want, I want to opt out
