Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5

Moves Like Jagger is a terrible music video. I generally love it when there is something in the video before the music starts, but in this one it seemed random and dull.  Everybody in the entire video danced with both cheese and creepy sexuality except for the old video clips of Mick Jagger.  Plot?  What?  That they were all auditioning to... be Mick Jagger?  Be in the music video?  Show whoever is watching just how repulsively naked they could be without it being a porn video?  That is not a plot. 
If aliens came down and this was the only music video they saw, they'd think humanity had the average IQ of twenty.

You can torture prisoners by forcing them to watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEPTlhBmwRg&ob=av3e

1 point if the music video in question has very good dancing or no dancing.
The entire video was 90% very bad dancing.  If you want to watch it, expect as well lots of people wearing shirts and underwear.  They aren't trying to be artistic, or even sexy.  They dance quite horrible in a cheesy way.  I've never seen Mick Jagger in concert, so I don't know if they're just repeating what he did, but I'd like to think that Mick Jagger didn't dance like that.  No point.

1 point if the music video has no dancing.
The only parts that aren't dancing are the parts where either the camera on a random inanimate object.  Of course, if you count the beginning and end, there are also the parts where a part of a Jagger interview that is about as relevant as if it was chosen out of a hat filled with parts of Jagger interviews is played.

1 point if the music video has something from the beginning come into play at the end.
Aaaaaaw, the video got its first point!  The incongruous interview is featured at the beginning and the end.
1 point if the music video has a series of related images, a theme, or a plotline.
No.  The plot-less, theme-less image itself was almost continuous.

1 point if the music video has a theme or a plotline.
No.  I wouldn't even say it's Mick Jagger themed, because most of it isn't.

1 point if the music video has a plotline.
Absolutely not.
1 point if the music video is either depicts extreme coolness or extreme realism.
No.  I almost drowned in the waves of cheesiness radiating from it.
1 point if the music video, if it has a plotline or theme, has no diversions from it.
The first premise is not satisfied.  No point.
1 point if the music video does something that makes you think. 
Goodness gracious no. 
1 point to spare in case I really like it.
 Need I even answer this one?


This video gets a 1/10.  
I am HIGHLY up for suggestions for music videos to review.
