Maroon 5's frontman Adam Levine is getting seriously creepy in his band's new music video for "Animals," the second single from the American pop rock band's fifth studio album "V," and it features the typically likeable Levine hunting down and stalking his real-life wife, Victoria's Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo after a chance encounter.
Over a shimmering bass line and thumping drums, this Shellback-produced catchy yet controversial (due to its lyrics) song finds Levine trying to 'prey' a woman he's really obsessed with, as he singing of hunting down her in order to have sex with her. "Don't deny the animal that comes alive when I'm inside you," he crudely croons. There is nothing that can stop him from accomplishing that goal.
The newly-premiered visual for "Animals" will definitely draw some controversy just like the lyrics of the song. And the director Samuel Bayer has exactly translated the story of the song into a cinematic music video, which kicks off with any random happening; Prinsloo walks into the butcher shop where Levin works, buys some sort of meat product and leaves. Nothing to write home about. Except, the short meeting is more than enough to obsess over for a bespectacled and bearded Levine, who spend the next four minutes hunting down Prinsloo like she's just another pig out for slaughter, and courts her until she falls for him.
Levine is effectively creepy as this stalker-type, taking dozens of photos of Prinsloo (even as she sleeps), following her to her apartment, bedroom and swinging on some old meat carcasses and smearing himself in blood. Just in case, you know, the stalking wasn't terrifying enough. Levine's insanity later leads him to the same club as Prinsloo, and she's understandably uninterested in him. The two end up in bed together anyway, making out totally naked at Levine's meat-cutting facility while getting poured in blood, Carrie-style. Look at the darker, creepier side of Levine the Butcher below.
