Exactly. Some years ago, I encountered an unusual spin on this sales technique involving door-to-door sales of raw meat. (The pitch was "Oh, your old neighbor used to subscribe and didn't cancel.

1887^ There is a chord that is struck in the chorus of "My Sacrifice" that I like. Kinda shoots the melody in the air. I think it's a diminished chord, but I'm not the best in calling those things out. I'm not mad at it.
