Duran Duran did the same song with “ Hungry Like the Wolf.” Then there’s every single vampire movie ever that says it’s romantic when someone who wants to eat you breaks into your house and watches you sleep.

Maroon 5 isn’t doing anything new, either. Yet all the while, this video is saying, “Get over it girls! It’s sexy to be followed around and secretly watched and have your house broken into because that guy is HOT (and so is the blood waterfall he will create for you).” I can only imagine how this video made people who actually lived through stalking feel. The scene in this music video where Levine follows his target gave me chills.

Levine’s target (his real-life wife, btw) rubs herself and writhes naked in front of a mirror. It’s clear that Levine wanted this song and this video to be sexy. Animals Lyrics by Maroon 5 from the V Deluxe Version album - including song video, artist biography, translations and more: Baby Im preying on you. Swoon!Īnd that’s the biggest problem for me. Every woman loves a guy who rubs blood on himself and hangs out with carcasses.
