I wanna fist fuck my own face holes every time I hear this tune. I don’t like the song but can appreciate that it is catchy and it would be popular but for christs sake it’s been on every commercial and tv show ad nauseum for the last year. Now the goddamn Samsung commercial is playing it every commercial break during MNF. Please find another song to brain beat us with and move on from this one. ---

Would it make you feel worse if I told you I don’t know what this song sounds like? Might’ve heard it in a commercial or something, but can’t place it. I know of it, it’s from that band with that guy on the show, where he somehow comes across as _less_ douchey that two of the other judges. I have heard “Party Rock Anthem” though. Fuck that song. Not like I wanted to before, but Kia has made me never want to buy one of their cars. ---

Every time I hear any Maroon5 song, I think of this brilliant [_Game of Thrones_-themed parody of “Payphone.”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rapo0h-RDnk) And now with “Moves Like Jagger\*\*” **getting played** -\*\*out, I can think of nothing except [this hilarious MineCraft-themed parody.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqELqRCnW6g) So, I am thankful for Maroon5’s existence, if only for the great parody potential. ---

“Hey, Soul Sister” needs to go first. “Moves Like Jagger” is overplayed, but originally was at least tolerable. “Hey, Soul Sister” was dreck from moment one. ---

Funny - I love, love that song, and wish I heard it more! I missed it being popular on the first go-around, and now I never hear it anywhere on the radio. I did the same thing with Makes Me Wonder, until it showed up on Rock Band and I played it 9,587 times in a row. I like Maroon 5, but only 6 months or so after their songs die out… ---

The song may be overplayed, but I really enjoy dancing to it when it come on at our club. ---

It is mandatory to put your hands at the back of your waist and flap your elbows while sticking out your lips and bobbing your head just like a chicken. Or, as the song says, like Jagger. What world does Maroon 5 live in where Jagger has good dance moves and there are working payphones? ---

You know that Voltaire pseudoquote about freedom of expression? “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”? Fuck that.
