  • I think today is the day I may have failed the "Be Nice" exercise where I am given a video/song to react to and I can only say nice things about it, constructive or encouraging. Today I was told to react to Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger. I tried. I really did. If you've nothing nice to say, best not to say anything at all. Right? If I'm wrong, please tell me in the comments.

      The point was that he doesn't move like Jagger and the guest dancers do. I always thought he (Jagger) looked pissed or drugged up possibly both, like when Jimmy Page staggers across the stage. I had a friend who danced like Jagger and everybody laughed at him not with him, it looked ridiculous. By the way I can't dance but if I had to look like that I'm glad I can't.

    I think the reason Christina Aguilera was on the song was because around the time the song came out, they were also promoting the US version of "the voice" (the TV show) and both Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera were on the show. So the song was really kind of like promotion for the show.

It's either a magic audio device or he's given himself away as an auto tuned lip syncher and doesn't care that you know this.

This was because the main thing I heard was the guitar amp, pointed backwards at the far back of the stage. And it sounded nothing like the guitars heard in the studio version of this song. I strongly suspect the guitarist was playing mainly for himself, and that the audience heard nothing of it.

      OMG, you have no idea. I get nausea and I hardly ever go to a mall. It's when this crap is played at fast food restaurants which has me bewildered, perhaps it's to prohibit customers from sitting and eating, call it loitering inside an eatery I suppose.

      Absolutely, this song is nauseating… but there is one other song that is even worse. I believe it came out around the same time.. it’s ‘Happy’ from Pharrell Williams. It is quite possibly the creepiest song ever!! 🤮🤮

    This song has 4 writers credited and it sounds like this. Between the two writers who weren't in the band they have multiple Grammys. Pop from the 70s and 80s was actually interesting, today all you need is the popular samples being over-used and you can replicate half of the songs on top-40 radio.
    I don't think this was about subverting the audiences expectations for Levine to dance like Jagger, I think it was a really lame attempt at forcing a comparison between Maroon 5 and the Stones and these songs written like this don't deserve that comparison in the slightest. Remember when Britney and Madonna did that video where they seem like they're about to bang? I think this is Adam Levine's version of that with Jagger. And if you watch Sympathy for the Devil, Levine looks like he's doing a lame impression of Jagger on stage vibing to the bongo player.

      Is one of those writers Stevie Wonder? That phrase they're whistling sounds a lot like part of the verse of "Sir Duke".

      'Indian Outlaw' by Tim McGraw had SIX writers listed. It took six country music "songwriters" to come up with those generic, predictable, embarrassing lyrics like "...see me standing in my buffalo briefs, I got em standing in line..." Lol. That song gave me AIDS, Cancer, and polio.
