Oh noes its another Ch!pz vid.  This is more of a saturday monring cartoon saving the day type thing only in PRESENT DAY! that's right, no time traveling in this video. However, there are poorly CGed aliens baffing about so I guess its at the same level as their previous videos.

Its a beautiful summer day in some dry climate while the Ch!pz crew is in a bus on the way to some summer camp.  C!lla and Rach-L randomly have some bonding moment by sharing bracelets while the guys seem to be playing games on their cell phones.  When they get out of the bus, an UFO appears out of nowhere and vaporizes all the people and the bus.  But conveniently they neglected to target the Ch!pz crew.

They go to their strategic and secret hideout, find the alien base that happens to be nearby, and read up on the alien race.  Inbetween filming all of this, there are random cameos of Rach-L singing and the crew dancing in a tunnel- most likely one leading to their secret hideout or whatever. Also, in the process, they have a sudden wardrobe change into complete black outfits to keep in spirit of the lyrics of the song.

Anyway, the crew approaches the alien gate with the poorly animated aliens guarding it.  C!lla flashes mirrors of them and appearantly that is their weakness to they both faint.  They untie the captive people though the bus is still nowhere to be found.  Just when everything seemed to go according to the rescue plan, a whole bunch of those aliens appear to stop Ch!pz.

The two groups settle this with a dance off.  Ch!pz when, the aliens combust or something.  Anyway, everything is shown being solved while the UFO retreats.  End of video.  See? just a short little adventure.  It still bothers me that everything in these videos is solved by dancing, well actually its just in the later two videos that I just watched; but it's still bothersome.

Song isn't that bad; its a little reminiscent of the pop that I listened to when I was a second grader or so.  Though the video is obviously targeting a younger audience (the video I used was appearantly broadcasting this on Fox Kids in a somewhat related note), the lyrics aren't necessarily as limited as an audience.  Actually Cowboy's lyrics weren't that bad either.  It was a subject
that could get the attention of a somewhat larger audience. 

However, the song is rather mediocre to listen to in terms of the fact that the song doesn't sound entirely original, but most songs don't.  It's not perfect, but hey- nothing is.  It's not something I would listen to over and over again but you can introduce this kind of stuff to children and stuff and they might enjoy it.

I didn't think I'll listen to this song again since I killed it for myself, but here I am reviewing this stuff.  It popped up in my rotation so lets kick this pig!

The song itself is charming and simple.  It can't be listened multiple times in just a few minutes otherwise it would get really boring.  In other-words, it can be overplayed.  Its definitely not the typical Counting Crows, so its a song that one could really love or really hate.  

I normally associate this song to Shrek 2 since I heard it for the first time when I watched the movie. The song really didn't connect with me mainly since I wasn't that big into the movie and the song is affiliated with the movie in my mind.  It really isn't fair for the song so I'll have to really listen to the song. 

The song can really identify for those who are actually have been in love.  What made a connection to me were the lyrics:

Now for the video, it opens to a rabbit singing.  Throughout the video, this guy is making breakfast for a girl who is sleeping still and seems to be failing miserably.  The rabbit wanders into the room and watches the guy make breakfast and as the video draws to a conclusion, he wakes the girl off and convinces her to run off with him.  The guy succeeds in actually making a decent looking breakfast to realize that the girl is gone and a picture of the girl and the rabbit together is left on the bed where she was.  I feel sorta bad for the guy who made the trouble to make the breakfast but I got over it quickly.

The music video did relate to the song in a very odd way.  The rabbit and the girl were accidentally in love.  I thought the couple was very weird but I just went along with it.

I felt the video was a bit below average: a 4/10.  It was okay since it went along with the song and the video had some sort of a story.  However, it was forgettable.  Nothing about the video really stood out in my mind.  I'll most likely forget most of the video in about five months or so.

I like the song better though. I'll give it a 6/10.

It had lyrics that could connect with the listener.  Plenty of people have been in love so it could reach out to a widespread audience.

However, as I mentioned, the song can be overplayed.  I suppose someone should've told that to radio stations when it first came out.  The radio has a way of beating a dead horse with these songs.  To an extent, the song could also be forgettable in the sense that many people may not care much for the song in the future.
