A Fast paced 1960's Country Marty Robbins Ballad This is a frantic, comedic, novelty Western song, The music is driven by a super-fast "chase scene" rhythm on acoustic guitar and a bouncy, two-step bassline, The soundscape is deliberately silly, featuring prominent slide whistle glissandos, cartoonish ricochet sound effects, and a hyperactive, ragtime-style saloon piano, A frantic banjo or fiddle could even join in the chorus, Each girl's vocal delivery is exaggerated to match the lyrics: Emi's is overly sincere, Yuki's is a gleeful, breathless rush, and Aya's is pure melodrama, The chorus is a shouted, enthusiastic, slightly-off-key three-part harmony, The overall vibe is less "Marty Robbins" and more "Looney Tunes go to the O, K, Corral, " a perfect, silly soundtrack for a truly absurd showdown, Three Girl Idol Group, Aya- The Lead Singer Emi- The Higher Pitched Younger Shyer character Yuki The deeper more sultry singer
