This is absolutely crazy…
And it’s something I’ve had to keep top-secret, until now.
I landed a cameo in a just-released music video — about copywriting and marketing — alongside many of my greatest heroes.
And so instead of a normal BTMS issue, or even one of my “new standard” Video Friday issues where I dish…
I wanted to share this.
NOTE: There are actually many layers to this onion…
(And no, Nader, I’m not saying the song stinks — in fact, I rather enjoy it!)
You can watch this video on a few levels…
- It’s silly and fun and a great way to spend a couple minutes late on a Friday…
- You get to see us crazy marketers doing a lot of silly things…
- It’s actually an incredible lesson into who is influential — past and present — in direct response marketing and copywriting… (You could study the lyrics for days for this one aspect alone.)
Maybe it’s just because I’m so much of a direct response geek — but I really like the history lesson packed into every verse.
I know Titans was a big deal and all, but I still can’t believe my name got worked into those lyrics alongside so many others who I’ve studied and considered heroes throughout my career.
Make it a great weekend.
Yours for bigger breakthroughs

Roy, I never noticed your passing resemblance to Bryan Adams before seeing you “belting it out” in a music video.
I\’ll take it! 🙂
Roy – Hi
This will make your weekend even better!
I must confess to having never heard of you until I heard Nader’s song – having looked you up (so to speak) I felt you spoke my language – and I liked the cut of your gyb – as we say in England.
So I have enrolled on your course as a result – I have always wanted to find out how the royalty thing works with copy – among other things.
So – hopefully – I am the first of many for you …
Look forward to learning lots of great stuff!
Best
Gary Cooper
ps. I guess your autograph is worth more now too
Love it! Thank you. And I look forward to sharing lots of great stuff with you!
That was fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
You\’re welcome!
