Walk On the Wild Side

A parody of Walk On the Wild Side by Lou Reed

For all the "Full Base" senders...

4:08
Duration
Verse 1
Boss came in with a bold new full-base plan
Pushed it out across the whole entire list
Cut the segments on the way
Said more sends would always bring more sales
Chorus
He said, “Hey team, take a walk on the wild side”
Said, “Hey guys, take a walk on the wild side”
Verse 2
Metrics came back low on the dashboard
In the reports, it was nobody’s darling
But he never changed his mind
Even when engagement flatlined
Chorus
He said, “Hey team, take a walk on the wild side”
Said, “Hey team, take a walk on the wild side”
Post-Chorus
And the mailbox signals go
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo
Verse 3
Little Joe said, “Scale it anyway”
“Everybody counts if we just blast”
A send today, a send tonight
Consensus lost in quarterly fights
Chorus
“Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side”
I said, “Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side”
Verse 4
Sugar Plum Fairy signed it off
Looking for growth and a faster lift
Skipped the pacing, skipped the care
You should’ve seen the filters stare
Chorus
They said, “Hey boss, take a walk on the wild side”
I said, “Hey team, take a walk on the wild side”
Alright, huh
Verse 5
Jackie kept on pushing the send
Thought more volume would fix it again
Then the placement had to crash
Reach alone don’t equal cash
Chorus
She said, “Hey boss, take a walk on the wild side”
I said, “Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side”
Post-Chorus
And the mailbox signals say
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo
