I got da moves like Jagger

Wow, it's been a long time since I blogged! This particular blog has been on my mind for quite some time now, but it's always been when I'm away from my computer. Well now, here I am, at the computer, ready to blog. 


Here's my deal. Mick Jagger. Not Mick Jagger himself, but the recent songs about him. Not that I have a problem with this. The Rolling Stones is one of my favorite bands. What I need is a little clarification. Here are the lyrics I speak of:


Ke$ha:
"And now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger"

Maroon 5:
"All the moves like Jagger. I've got the moves like Jagger. I've got the moves like Jagger"

Now, the clarification that I am looking for is this; are we talking 1960's Mick Jagger or current Mick Jagger. We'll start with the Ke-dollar sign-ha song. She claims that she'll kick a dude to the curb unless he looks like Mick Jagger. Here is a picture of Mick Jagger from 1965:


Not too shabby. Yes, I can see how, if a dude approached you in a club looking like Mick Jagger, you would decline from kicking him to the curb. Now, Mick Jagger 2011:

This, my friends, may be a different story...

Moving on to Maroon 5. Adam Levine claims that he'll show you his moves like Jagger. Let's examine some videos of Jagger's moves. 1967:


I can see how Adam Levine thinks he may have moves like Mick Jagger. 2011:


Ok, so he still has some moves, but he is moving a lot slower than he used to. 

The point is, just let me know which one you're talking about. I mean, maybe Ke$ha really likes old guys. Who knows? And possibly Adam Levine makes love like a mummy and his ladies love it. Who am I to judge. Let's just be a bit more clear in the future. 

Crandall out.
