"Lil Nas X: Old Town Road (I Got the Horses in the Back) (Visualizer)" is like the longest title ever for the shortest film ever because this one here stays under the 2-minute mark even. Perhaps the : early on already makes it obvious enough that this is a music video from 2018, late 2018, and what you see here is all scenes from the video game Red Dead Redemption 2. I don't know the game, but perhaps it is really the one thing that entertained me the most and from how good this one looked I am almost tempted to say I wanna play it. But I probably won't. "Almost" like I said. So the entire 113 seconds are animated as you can also see from the genre category. Quite a concidence actually this showed up on my watchlist because I intended to see it anyway as I read earlier about this one today and the remix by Billy Ray Cyrus being a big Miley fan and all. Still, the song here does not do a lot at all, so I am baffled this one (and Cyrus' version too) made it to the top of the charts in America. That good it really is not and I think in general that it is better with watching the video than only listening to the song. That is also why I would mostly recommend it to fans of the game featured in here and I know there are many as it has received really strong receptions and currently stands at 9.7/10 on imdb. But I want to keep talking about this one here and not the game. It needs to be said too that this one got taken out of the country charts in America, a bit of a controversial decision and I don't want to be the judge if it was accurate or not. Probably it did not help that the artist here is a rapper mostly, probably a fan of the "old" Nas. I just want to say that the overall outcome here is a thumbs-down for me. Not recommended. Also not sure what the "visualizer" means and if this mention was particularly necessary.

Rating correction 23rd September 2019: The song is really catchy and stuck in my head, so I will add two more stars.
