Now, since most of the songs have a "theme," so do the videos, so the video relates directly to the song.  I've seen a few other videos for this album and I find that they are like episodes of a saturday morning cartoon... or something like that.

I've mentioned that this song makes a decent opening for the CD.  Nothing really great, just another song that could be listened to just to pass the time.  The whole pop/dance/southwestern feel to the song is nice though since its something that you don't cross everyday.

Since this targets a younger audience, the video is just as cheesy as their other songs.  Cowboy wasn't necessarily a cheesy song, which is a nice reason to place as the first of the album. They portrayed cowboys as the generic way that is shown all over TV and the like rather than just people that round up cows.

So the video begins like many of their other videos- Ch!pz is called to gather for a distress signal, which gives them an excuse to go back in time to solve another mystery.  In this case, they got stuck in a crappy Western imitation.  The video doesn't really bother me so far.  They are dressed in appropriate attire for that time and the group is randomly singing.  What bothers me is there's a point when Rach-L (the blonde) took a picture of some cowboy with her cellphone and the boy acted like it was completely normal.  I thought it would've been dumb to do things like that because it might affect the future, but that's just me being a realist again.  I don't like being a realist since it ruins things for me.

Something just to throw in here:  the only connection between this song and the video is the cowboy theme.  When you think about it, the lyrics don't have much to do with the video.  I mean, they're singing about cowboys in the rodeo and wanted to be a "cowgirl" for the boy.  The story of the video has not much to do with that.

Anyway, back to the video. The group find the wanted poster of a criminal and they ask people about it.  They find that the guy steals another guys horses and blah blah...  The group ends up in the generic Western bar and they dance.  The public seems to like it.  However, this jolly moment in ruined by the entrance of the man pictured in the wanted poster.

All of these people seem the fear the criminal even though all he did was steal horses.  The guy totally hits on Rach-L because she's apparently a in-demand hottie.  (I totally think C!lla is a lot more attractive since I like girls like her, but I'm...eh... different) Rach-L gives the guy a strong bitch-slap and Kevin laughs at him.  To show that he's such a tough criminal, he challenges Kevin to some face-off outside.  

 The two try shooting at each other to realize that neither has bullets that C!lla with her awesome ninja skills seemed to take out of the guns while no one else was looking.  The villain runs off like the pathetic coward he is, Peter catches him with rope, and the guy who had his horses stolen got the horses back and drags the criminal around for public humiliation. 

Anyway, the video ends with the group celebrating and returning back into their own time.  Basically, the same feeling as an episode of a simple children cartoon, only with a musical group in real life. Now I don't really recommend the video to people, but it can entertain children so if you feel like randomly showing some little cousin something out of boredom, this can be the video.
