"Moves Like Jagger" Quotes

Context

This line is from the song "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5, from the album Hands All Over (2010).

This song was a monster hit in 2011, when it took over the Earth with its infectious chorus and proved once again that a track about a dude impressing a girl with dance moves is not a stupid idea. The girl in question here is Christina Aguilera, who delivers an impressive duet with Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine. When this song went to #1, it made Christina one of the few artists to have #1 hits in three separate decades. You have to wonder if Mick Jagger felt a little left out in all this. Practice your moves and check out the video here.

Where you've heard it

Even grandmas were humming this ridiculously catchy chorus when it came out. It was everywhere, creeping into everyone's heads whether they liked it or not. You might've caught Adam and Christina performing it for the first time on The Voice, for which they're both judges. You also might've seen the Glee kids sing it, or maybe the puppet penguins on Muppets Most Wanted. Or maybe you hit the trifecta and watched it in all three places. That song sure gets around.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

Any guy who compares himself to Mick Jagger is a smidge pretentious (but so are people who use the word "smidge").
