Video breakdown: Maroon 5 - One More Night


It's been a busy time for those Maroon 5 chappies, hasn't it? (Rhetorical question, don't answer). They've ridden the crest of the popularity wave that was Moves Like Jagger, unleashed the pop beast that is Payphone (a song people were so desperate for release in the UK that they sent a copycat version into the top ten before the proper track made number one), released a 10 year anniversary edition of the seminal Songs About Jane and, of course, debuted their latest album Overexposed to the world. Phew! Now they are already prepping for single 2 from that album (mirroring the quick successive releases of Misery-GiveALittleMore) - the effortlessly catchy One More Night. Here's what you get in the video...

  • There are two goldfish swimming about in a bowl. They will have forgotten I have typed about them in the next few seconds...
  • Adam is a family man. There are photos of him and his missus, plus he is spending time with his far too adorable child.
  • BUT! He has another lover! This other lover is boxing and we get to see some gratuitous shots of Adam working out. He's far more energetic than me in his workouts which explains why he looks like he does and I look like I do :P
  • Wifey is throwing Adam some loving glances as he goes all googoo over little Adamina. Surely there is an outtake where Adamina spits up all over him after being bounced up and down like that?!
  • Back in the boxing ring, Adam gets his punch on, some poor blokes hands are now throbbing and the battered hand chappy empties his liquid all over Adam's face :P
  • (I have such a way with words)
  • After his muscle enhancing breakfast, Adam's off to the gym and wifey has a passive aggressive look of disappointment on her face. The playful boxing with Adamina is too cute for words though...
  • The fish are back - probably wondering how on earth wifey got her amazing figure back so quickly. Probably that asparagus diet Adam was munching on for his brekkie...
  • FIGHT!! The opposition look at Adam with the same disdain that wifey did a few moments ago. Must be something in the water. It sounds like there is quite a turnout for Adam's boxing match, but weirdly there are only about 8 people in the crowd. Well, there is an economic downturn you know...
  • Mirroring the lyrics of "i'll only stay with you one more night", Adam's missus has had enough. She is putting her foot down. She is packing her suitcase and getting the ecky thump out of there. So decisive.
  • Hurrah! The band are in the boxing match audience. Probably to see the bazoomas you get an eyeful of if you pause at 2m27s. BUXOM!
  • Adam is seemingly taking a pounding. This might be like that ridick episode of Friends when Monica was dating a millionaire who wanted to be the world's ultimate fighting champion...
  • Round 3 and Adam has got his second wind. The knockout punch is delivered at 2m54s and if you pause 2 seconds later, you can see the moment that the opposition loses consciousness/dignity/the fight.
  • Adam has won. BUT AT WHAT COST? Wifey is leaving and taking with her Grimm's Fairy Tales. He'll never know what happened to Little Red Riding Hood now (or was that Aesop?)!
  • Adam is home! But wifey and Adamina are gone. How sad. In the cruelest of moves, wifey has taken only one of the goldfish. Why take it out on them?! Though Goldfish 2 will have forgotten Goldfish 1's existence by now. OH MY! It's the marine version of the Notebook...
