Here's a smart idea: Maroon 5 have a new version of "Girls Like You" that's essentially the same video, but with previously unused footage of all the notable "girls" who strut their stuff around Adam Levine and the guys.
Every time the camera spins around Adam Levine it's revealed that another notable woman is helping with the lip-sync. The list is massive,and massively impressive,, including pop star Camila Cabello, actress Gal Gadot, gymnast Aly Raisman, talk show star Ellen DeGeneris and most notably, Cardi B — who gets to contribute a verse — and Levine's wife Behati Prinsloo and their daughter.
All you Pokemon Go-obsessed people. Ya ever wonder if those Scramisaurs have actual feelings? Actual lives? Think about that while watching Maroon 5's new, humorous, cameo-filled clip.
Note: this version does not have Kendrick Lamar's verse, but could you honestly see him play dress-up here?
The charge is that — wait for it it — some of the weddings in the video were set-ups, and not the surprise drop-ins as presented and that one of the brides in question might be America's Next Top Model contestant Raina Hein.
So, if music videos were the last place where you had a vestige of hope — I assume you gave up on the sanctity of marriage long ago — then you might be in for a letdown, even though it'd only be fair to note that Adam Levine has stated in interviews that the Grooms were in on the surprise, with each doing what they needed to do to facilitate the guest performances.
UPDATE: The floodgates are now open with lots of actors being recognized and/or admitting that they participated in staged marriages. Of course, anyone who's ever seen a typical wedding video can tell you the different between shooting video and shooting a music video. And "Sugar" is surely lit and blocked like a music video. (That said, is anyone really worked up about this? Will it crush you when I tell you that most artists don't live in the mansions you see in their videos, or that they're not surrounded by booty 24/7?)
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has clearly studied the rules of wedding crashers — and the credits, getting Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin on-board to lead the band through a series of gonzo wedding drop-ins across LA. It's a fun gambit, even if the goal is just to deliver a wedding band surprise and not to pick up drunk bridesmaids.
