I Get Blocked Down
A parody of Tubthumping by Chumbawamba
A Tubthumping parody built on the resilience every sender needs — getting blocked is inevitable, but SPF, DKIM, IP warmup, and relentless list purging are how you get back to the inbox and stay there. Covers the full sender rehabilitation playbook from authentication to list hygiene.

[Spoken Intro]
Truth is, I thought it mattered, I thought that sending volume mattered
But does it bollocks; not compared to how engagement matters
[Intro]
We'll be sendin'
In the inbox
We'll be sendin'
[Chorus]
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
[Verse 1]
Purging the list today, purging the list today
He sets an S-P-F, he adds a D-kim key
He checks the bounces now, he warms the I-P up
He cleans the lists that remind him of the bounce rates
He tracks the stats that remind him of the click rates
Oh, sweet inbox, sweet inbox, sweet inbox!
[Chorus]
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
[Verse 2]
Purging the list today, purging the list today
He sets an S-P-F, he adds a D-kim key
He checks the bounces now, he warms the I-P up
He cleans the lists that remind him of the bounce rates
He tracks the stats that remind him of the click rates
Don't mark as spam, dear subscriber!
[Chorus]
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!
I get blocked down, but I get back again
You're never gonna shut me down!

[Driving energetic beat]
[Chorus]
I get blocked down, but I get back again (We'll be sendin')
You're never gonna shut me down (In the inbox)
I get blocked down, but I get back again (We'll be sendin')
You're never gonna shut me down (Ooh)
I get blocked down, but I get back again (We'll be sendin')
You're never gonna shut me down (In the inbox)
I get blocked down, but I get back again (We'll be sendin')
You're never gonna shut me down (Ooh)
[Outro]
I get blocked down (We'll be sendin'), but I get back again (Purging the list today)
You're never gonna shut me down (In the inbox)
I get blocked down (We'll be sendin'), but I get back again (Purging the list today)
You're never gonna shut me down (Ooh)
I get blocked down (We'll be sendin'), but I get back again (Purging the list today)
You're never gonna shut me down (In the inbox)
I get blocked down (We'll be sendin'), but I get back again (Purging the list today)
You're never gonna shut me down (Ooh)
I get blocked down (We'll be sendin'), but I get back again (Purging the list today)
You're never gonna shut me down (In the inbox)
I get blocked down (We'll be sendin'), but I get back again (Purging the list today)
You're never gonna shut me down (Ooh)
I get blocked down (We'll be sendin'), but I get back again (Purging the list today)
You're never gonna shut me down (In the inbox)
I get blocked down (We'll be sendin'), but I get back again (Purging the list today)
You're never gonna shut me down (Ooh)
I get blocked down (We'll be sendin'), but I get back again (Purging the list today)
You're never gonna shut me down
