Bullet With Spammy Wings

A parody of Bullet with Butterfly Wings by The Smashing Pumpkins

A grunge parody of The Smashing Pumpkins' "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" following a throttled sender's spiral into spam — blacklisted IPs, bad engagement, and the desperate hope that SPF and DMARC enforcement can claw back inbox placement.

4:50
Duration
Verse 1
Inbox is a vampire
built for pain
Silent suppressors
Hold you up in the flames
And what do I get
From cam-paigns?
Blacklisted IPs
And a drop in my gains
Pre-Chorus
Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my warm-up flows
Like old pros
Chorus
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance
Someone will say, "Bad engagement will bury your plans"
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance
Verse 2
Now I'm throttled
Nothing but a bad sender
But can you mask it
For just one more blast?
And what do you want?
I want inbox
And what do you got?
When filters say "stop"?
Pre-Chorus
Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my clean list growth
Like old pros
Chorus
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance
Then someone will say, "Bad engagement will bury your plans"
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance!
Middle Eight
Tell me I am au-thent-ic
Tell me that S-P-F checks
D-MARC was set to reject, yeah
Tell me that I passed the test
D-MARC was set to reject, for you
Chorus
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance
And someone will say, "Bad engagement will bury your plans"
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance!
Post-Chorus
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no…
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no…
Despite all my sends, I am still just in spam with no chance
Bridge
Tell me I am authentic
Tell me that S-P-F checks
D-MARC was set to reject, for you
Outro
And I still believe that my mail won't be saved
And I still believe that my mail won't be saved
And I still believe that my mail won't be saved
And I still believe that my mail won't be saved
