Video breakdown: Maroon 5 ~ Payphone

• Adam Levine starts off the video by looking hot. Literally and figuratively as he is standing next to a blazing inferno of a car. He does look proper buff in his tank top though, all greased up...:P
• He tosses away his cell phone, possibly because it melted and has to use the conveniently placed nearby payphone. Luckily he remembers the number which is a bit of a boon. I'm so reliant on my phone remembering numbers for me that I couldn't dial someone without it if my life depended on it!
• Flashback to an office environment where a beleagured looking Adam still manages to look pretty darn good while crunching the numbers or whatever it is that his daily grind job is...
• Back in the future/present, Greased Up Adam is having a good chinwag on the payphone. In the past, some armed robbers burst into what I can now clearly see is a bank. How alarming!!
• Everyone hits the deck so to speak as the rest of Maroon 5 rob the bank. The naughty tykes. Surely they are rich enough from the royalties that came from Moves Like Jagger??
• Work Drone Adam looks over at the woman he clearly has a bit of a trouser situation for, grabs the gun of one of the gangsters and then makes a run for it with Dolly Bird. Amazingly they don't get one bullet in them, much like every episode of Nikita.
• Watch that woman leap like a gazelle while Work Drone Adam wisely keeps his head down. Frankly, if she doesn't know to duck when bullets are being fired, then there is no hope for her (1m44s)!
• Oh no! The fuzz are now shooting at them thinking they are the bank burglars! Qu'elle tragedy! So instead of waiting to explain (which i'm not sure you'd do while you've got a pistol rammed in your face - not a euphemism), they leg it down the street. Gazelle style.
• The police are in hot pursuit, but one of them looks like they've had too many donuts so they pause for a bit of a breather. Work Drone Adam has cunningly removed his work drone jacket, so the police will never recognise him now. Best disguise since Michael Jackson donned the mask!
• Wiz has dropped his quite nice car off at the valet. Though it looks like a right gas guzzler. Someone should inform him there are some perfectly perfunctory electric cars now available on the market that will get you a good 5 miles before you need to plug them in.
• Action Hero Adam (the jacket is off, the tie is loosened, it's official!) tells Office Bambi that he will distract the police by pushing the valet dude and stealing Wiz's car. This is done with all the intensity and machoism of a slushie in the face on Glee. Amaze.
• Meanwhile in the present Greased Up Adam is at a payphone singing about trying to call home, but all of his change he spent on you. Silly boy. My nana always had a hair clip, some lip balm and a fifty p coin inside her bra for emergencies.
• Those police aren't giving up as more and more cars joing the Action Hero Adam chase. It's a bit like Thelma and Louise except he hasn't got some dude in the front to hold hands with and drive over a cliff...
• Present Greased Up Adam does a rather convincing bang against the payphone wall as he says the "fucking" part of "one more fucking love song I'll be sick" (3m13). Meanwhile helicopters have joined the Action Hero Adam chase (i hope they are CGI or there are going to be no royalties left from Moves Like Jagger :S)
• When Wiz has his car stolen, he likes to do a rap and apparently become homeless. Perhaps he wasn't insured or something?!
• Action Hero Adam is Die-Harding the shit out of this video. He does a major handbrake turn causing a police car to elegantly fly through the air (like a dove!) before exploding in a fiery boom (4m02). I'm sure the driver was ok though. Walked away with just a broken side parting.
• All this destruction has caused the police to stop chasing Action Hero Adam and he does what anyone would do when their car unexpectedly explodes seconds after he gets out - not blink, take of his tie, rip off his shirt (I'M NOT COMPLAINING) and reveal Greased Up Adam in a wifebeater...
• And that's it! He's at the payphone telling his tale of woe, fairytale shit and fucking love songs. Poor bloke.
