Mick Jagger edited Maroon 5's hit video tribute

Sir Mick Jagger demanded Maroon 5 edit their original Moves Like Jagger music video because there were too many shots of him in it.

Adam Levine's band teamed up with Christina Aguilera to record the electro-pop tribute to the Rolling Stones frontman. The song topped the US charts last month.

While the rock legend is a fan of the song, he wanted the first video version to be changed.

Jagger tells The Times: "It's kind of odd. Moves Like Jagger is seriously catchy. I can sing it for you if you want, but I'll spare you that. I knew all about it, it wasn't like a surprise to me. I know the band, I know Christina, I know the video director, and they kept sending me the video cuts with me in it.

"There was far too much of me in the first one, I was going, 'What about the rest of the band!' So I cut out a bit."
