Trippy Text in Spam

Post Reply New Topic

I've noticed sometimes in spam email messages, after the usually illegitimate sounding sales pitch there is a whole block of strange text. In fact, today I received an email where the text appeared to be sound lyrics and was quite trippy all together. My only idea is that this sort of stuff is used to trick spam filters, though it clearly doesn't work. Here is the text, complete with the formatting and punctuation errors that were extant when I received the message:

Take a walk outside your mind.About how it used to be.

Hanging from the stairs.Looking through the looking glass.

Well she covered me with roses.evil came like rainin. I ain’t never gonna stop.Chip off the old block.
Yeah and by the way.Tell me how it feels to be.

Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon.Yeah I got the disease.
we wont let time pass us by.Record of a band that plays the blues.

I got to make myself a latitude adjustment.Take a walk outside your mind.

There's something so mysterious about weird text in spam...

A lot of those sentences are lines from Aerosmith songs -- but each one seems to be from a different song. I.e.

"Take a walk outside your mind" is from the song "Hole in my Soul"
"Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon" --> "Mama Kin"
"Record of a band that plays the blues" --> "Big Ten Inch Record"

Lyrics of Aerosmith's songs (I think all of them)

It would be interesting to know why text like that would be chosen for spam.

I think you answered your own question. The text is available, simply, online.

As to why choose song lyrics... well, that's just one of many choices. In particular, it would tend to be more effective to use such text, rather than Shakespearean sonnets, bus timetables or programming manuals, because it would be close to the text present in many "real" emails, and hence harder to distinguish in spam filters.

Ah, I knew the text sounded familiar! Thanks for answering my questions.

When spammers do this kind of thing, does a webcrawler get pressed into service for data mining or something? The text always seems strange and formatted quite badly.
