There are times when you just have to say no.
And don’t even get me started on the weird, possible Michael Jackson tribute by one of those underwear people. But the creepy woman with “Mick Jagger” written on her eyelids and the apparent need for some un-endowed men to wear panties onstage is a bit much. Thankfully, Adam rarely puts his shirt back on, so at least we have that image to help us pass the time. This goes on for most of the video, causing us to transition from “hey, isn’t that cute?” to “okay, I think I’ve seen enough anorexic people with rhythm”. Random folks are doing all things Mick, dancing and jumping and confirming that recreational drug use is alive and well, Adam inserts his half-naked self wherever he feels moved to do so, and the real Mick cameos in old clips from time to time. I’m assuming she’ll get the part, just not the part she was auditioning for.Īnd really, that’s your whole plot right there. There’s even one free-spirited woman who is barely able to contain her breasts while wearing nothing but a shaggy vest. We run the gamut of Mick impersonators: male, female, undetermined, black, white, Benneton, super sexy, super ugly, you name it. So now we have bits of shirtless Adam singing while the other folks are running around all crazy-eyed and hip-thrusting.
#MOVES LIKE JAGGER MEANS FULL#
Mixed in with all of this is Adam Levine, full of swagger attitude and not wearing a shirt. The music kicks in and people are strutting around on the stage in Crazy 60’s London outfits while clips of the real Mick sporadically pop up and quickly disappear. What the hell? Then we start realizing that a lot of these auditioning people either look like Mick Jagger or are wearing skimpy clothing with slogan tributes to him, and BAM, the craziness starts.
People seem to be preparing to audition for something, some mess that involves 60’s clothing, but the out-of-time thing is still going on, and suddenly a very young Mick Jagger is being interviewed in old newsreel footage, talking about how he’s not sure if the Rolling Stones will make it in the music business. We start realizing that some of the things we’re seeing are off-kilter, like they were filmed at a time way before 2011 arrived and the Republicans started their latest round of crap. We see shots of production people running around and doing the frantic things that they do before a show when everybody is really bitchy and in a hurry and unfortunate things are said to one another. Then we go inside, backstage, and a title card informs us that it’s “Los Angeles, June 2011”. We start out with black and white shots of what looks like the outside of one of those old-timey theaters, the really fancy kind with great architectural detail and the cache of famous stars and glamour and illicit gin sucked out of flasks in the 1920’s.
