Adam Levine recently shared his astonishment at witnessing none other than Mick Jagger grooving to Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger.”
Making an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Maroon 5 front-man described the experience as “really surreal” after seeing Jagger’s Instagram video in March. Levine expressed that the moment felt very bizarre as he reflected on the surreal moment.
Jagger’s Moves, Levine’s Groove: Levine shocked by the iconic stunt pulled by Mick Jagger.
In the social media clip, the legendary Rolling Stones lead singer was spotted enjoying himself at a bar or restaurant as a band belted out a cover of “Moves Like Jagger.” Jagger couldn’t resist joining in on the fun, showcasing his signature dance moves to the infectious tune. Captioning the post with “Moves like who,” Jagger gave credit to the band Splash for their rendition of the hit track.
Levine couldn’t contain his excitement, admitting to Fallon that he had never felt more inclined to be the bar band covering his own song. He exclaimed that it was the coolest thing ever in his whole career.
Despite the viral nature of the video, Levine was taken aback by the fact that more people hadn’t shared it with him. He revealed that it was only his mom and a friend who had thought to pass it along.
Moves Like Jagger: Levine Takes Chart-Topping Risks
Touching upon the origins of “Moves Like Jagger,” Levine revealed that the song was initially intended for a female artist due to its catchy hook, “he got the moves like Jagger.” However, he boldly suggested the idea of singing it himself, despite some initial hesitation from others. “Yeah, why not?” Levine recalled saying, reflecting his daring attitude towards the unconventional move.
Looking ahead, Maroon 5 is gearing up for an exhilarating return to Las Vegas on May 17, where they will charm audiences with 16 additional shows as part of their residency at Park MGM. With their infectious tunes and charismatic performances, Maroon 5 continues to leave an indelible mark on the music industry, one “move” at a time.
