Maroon5 /Christina Aguilera 'Moves Like Jagger'

Grammy winners rock group Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera are taking viewers on a nostalgic romp through the '70s in their new video for "Moves Like Jagger," which debuted Tuesday, takes place at the historic L.A. Theatre and, as the song title suggests, features a lot of people trying to move like Rolling Stone rocker Mick Jagger. Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine eventually takes center stage to start singing wearing nothing but snug-fitting polyester pants and his colorful tattoos.
This electro-pop track with elements of rock and soul, is billed as "Maroon 5 featuring Aguilera," though the latter actually does very little, only coming in at the bridge after two minutes. The song's lyrics refer to the narrator's ability to impress a female with his dance moves, which he compares to those of legendary Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger. The song is bound to appeal to lot of people. The music video just increases the appeal, because whatever one thinks about Mick Jagger, the clip brings back many memories of the rock n roll icon.
Levine told MTV News why he likes to move like the veteran Stones' frontman: "I've been a student at the Jagger School of Interesting Movement for 17 years. I'm graduating next fall, with honors," he said. "[His moves are] a very carefully calculated, but slightly spastic, incredible rhythmic experience, in which all of your limbs and every bone in your body is moving at completely different times, and it's impossible to re-create. Nobody has moves like Jagger, that's kind of the point. That's why the song is so fun, it's fun to try."
The Jonas Åkerlund-directed clip opens with black-and-white footage of the theater, shots of work crews assembling lighting and equipment onstage and groups of extras getting into costume, warming up for a shoot. This is followed by classic footage of Jagger, during which a reporter asks the iconic Rolling Stones frontman how long he plans to make music. When Aguilera makes her brief appearance, she fits right into the retro feel with mascara-heavy lashes and a floppy hat. For Levine and his bandmates, the song and video are all about exposing a new generation to the rock legend.
