This lesbian cowgirl/trucker music video will make your month… Promise!

It's safe to say the last 12 months haven’t been the cheeriest for a lot of us, and sometimes, cheering-the-hell-up comes from unexpected places.

The music video was directed by Lydia Garnett, and features the band she plays bass in, Trouble Wanted. It's such a smart piece of video in its marriage of ludicrous high-camp and poignant gestures: the short really feels like a fully formed piece of cinema, despite its claustrophobic setting within the four walls of a saloon, and the fact that not a huge amount really happens narrative-wise. By the time the five minutes were over, I was almost definitely struck with the same affliction as our titular lonely Cowgirl – madly in love with this swaggering dyke trucker.

Like a John Waters-style, lesbian utopian, cowgirl-trucker romance music video, for instance. If this doesn't make you smile, it's hard to think of what would. You're probably the sort of person that throws cats in wheelie bins.
