Back in the ’60s, The Beatles and Elvis Presley were the most famous people in the World. So what happened when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison met The King?
We don’t really know, but Lennon hated the experience so much that he told Mick Jagger never to meet him.
And the Rolling Stones singer told Conan O’Brien on his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend that he never did because of how Lennon described that moment. Therefore, Jagger can only imagine what it would have been like had he met his idol. Maybe he would have had a different experience full of satisfaction. Granted, it seems like he can’t get no satisfaction.
In 2010, Maroon 5 had a huge hit with Moves Like Jagger. It was so huge that people are still dancing to it today. One of those people is Mick Jagger. And the other week, the Rolling Stones singer shared a video of himself moving like Jagger to the catchy tune.
Yesterday, when Adam Levine was on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon wanted to know what he thought of Jagger moving like Jagger to Moves Like Jagger. “It’s really surreal,” Levine said. “How is this possible? What is happening? It’s bizarre.”
It is definitely an unforgettable full-circle moment for Levine. And believe it or not, only his mom and a friend shared that video with him. You would think more people would be like, “Dude, Jaggers is dancing to your song, Moves Like Jagger.”
The singer also revealed to the host that originally, the songwriters wanted a woman to sing, “He got moves like Jagger.” But Levine was like, “What if I say, ‘I have the moves like Jagger.'”
And the rest is music history that brings us back to today!
Maroon 5 had a massive hit with Moves Like Jagger. It was so huge that cover bands will do their own version of the single at bars on small islands in the Caribbean like Mustique.
So what happens when the patrons hear it at Basil’s bar? They dance. What happens if that patron is Mick Jagger? He shows off his moves like himself!
And that is why, even at 80 years old, he is the hippest person in the place!
And I bet somewhere, someone will show Adam Levine this video, and he will be kvelling.
