Mailchimp Limericks

Mailchimp is an email marketing platform that They Might Be Giants switched over to using to power their newsletter in February 2018 (having previously used Topspin). From the first newsletter sent via Mailchimp:

And we leave you now with a word about our new email provider MailChimp. We want to thank them for being so responsive and helpful getting all of our lists shuttled over to their system. In spite of a ton of fretting, it has gone flawlessly and the delivery times have been cut down to a fraction of our old provider. We like the name. We like chimps. We’re happy to be aboard. If you need to bump up to a real email system for yourself or your business, we say go chimp.

Soon after, TMBG began writing limericks about the service to express their satisfaction with it, and included them at the end of emails. In February 2020, they compiled all of the limericks up to that point in a Tumblr post.

Beginning in September 2022, TMBG switched over from using Mailchimp to EmailOctopus.
