Maroon 5 have lost their fucking minds.

[FuckOffFerret]

Big fat trigger warning. I've never seen such hyper sexualised violence agaisnt women in a music video before. And considering that's pretty much all videos now, I think that says a lot.

Huffpost link here

So gross. I like(d) their music too. It's beyond a sick joke how women are treated in music videos in particular but in media more generally.

I remember the furore about Frankie Goes To Hollywood's song "Relax" in the 1980s. How things have progressed since then - overt violence and sexual exploitation seems to be acceptable now :(

Hasn't Adam Latrine got form for this or am I mistaken?

Jesus. Christ.

Very disturbing. Women as pieces of meat is what I see.

Shit song too.

Yea its a been a while that 'she will be loved' am i thinking of a different song?

No, that's them. And while catchy...it's a bit iffy too.

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times
But somehow, I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full, and my door's always open
You come anytime you want, yeah

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide, alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Actually she will be loved could easily be called. "Creepy "nice Guy" song" . The problem is that the choris is the only bit you think if and that sounds quite nice!

Yea creepy nice guy is a good way of describing x

Fucking hell!!

I really struggled to watch that. Surely they can't play that on music channels?!

Sounds like friend zone song. Presumably that escalates into the vile Animal song when she doesn't repay friend zone guy with the sex he's entitled to.

Sounds like friend zone song. - Oh dear, that reminds me of this:

I just watched it, horrible song (and really crap), and even more horrible video. Fetishising sexual violence, nice one

I also think Adam Levine thinks he is a lot more attractive than he actually is.

That music does not go with the video at all, in fact the lyrics dont even go with the upbeat melody. Weird.

I dont mind songs with dodgy lyrics in some contexts, I mean, some marilyn manson or NIN etc, but this maroon 5 thing is shit and uncomfortable

Troll marketing works. Everyone's talking about them, the song, the video. Adam Levine. Job done. At the expense of women. Again.

No it doesn't work. Robin Thicke sold 500 copies of his last album in the UK.

Sometimes people just get sick of you.

Also aren't Levine and Ceelo Green on the same show? Noted creepy fucker and rapist aren't going to sell episodes are they?

Rapist?

I have no words why is this considered ok?

Glad to hear that about Robin Thicke, Ferret.

Ceelo Green...

it'll make your whole week.

Oh dear ceelo green

Offensive to animals as well.

I worry about the future of this country at times.

Thankfully my kids wouldn't tell me who is in the charts and DS2 is loving Dolly Parton at the moment .

God, I used to quite fancy him but this is grim.
