Dog Daily News

Steve Martin wrote the song, you produce the video!

Steve Martin wrote a catchy little song for his dog, Wally, and he thinks it needs a music video. The thing is he says he’s just a bit busy to make one himself, and doesn’t really know how anyway, so he’s looking for your help. (It may just be a ploy to get a lot of people to download his new song for 99 cents, but we’ll play the game.)

The official contest website states that since “Wally on the Run” is about Steve’s dog,  your music video should have a dog (or many dogs) in it.  We kind of figured as much. First prize: $1,000! Second prize: 99 cents, to cover the cost of the music download.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Download the song “Wally on the Run” here

2. Make a music video for the song – remember, it has to feature dogs!

3. Join the Motionmaker program here

4. Upload your video to Dailymotion and add the video to this group

And that’s it! Official Terms & Conditions can be found here

The contest winner will be chosen by Steve! Contest ends December 1, so start filming soon!

We Dog Daily News staffers are going to try to get someone to film us, but frankly, we’re a rather unathletic bunch. Ida is a great runner, but Jarvis is far too proper to be caught running, Zulu expends all his energy being high strung, and I run a news blog, not a track.
