Mick Jagger Dancing in the 1970s

Do you’ve got the moves like Jagger? Do you’ve got the moves like Jagger? Do you’ve got the moo-oo-oo-oo-ves like Jagger?

 

July 12th marks the 50th anniversary of The Rolling Stones’ first gig, and with that milestone, the band is releasing their personally curated photo book, The Rolling Stones: 50.

 

Expect to see within those colorful pages a variety of "dance candy" snapshots from The Best Hips in the Business, His Highness Mick Jagger, whose unique moves and on-stage charisma have contributed to the band’s ongoing legacy of being one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands in history.

 

To celebrate the past 50 years of The Rolling Stones’ influence on music and pop culture, we’ve done a little curating ourselves by exploring some of the innumerable artists who’ve “Jagger-bombed” (i.e. given tribute to Jagger and/or The Rolling Stones) in their own music.

 

Ke$ha - "Tik Tok"

 

 

Ain't got a care in world but got plenty of beer

Ain't got no money in my pocket, but im already here

And now the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger

But we kick'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger

 

The House of Love - "Beatles and the Stones" (Live)

 

 

Oh I'm dazed and I'm dazed and I'm dazed

The Beatles and the Stones

Sucked the marrow out of bone

Put the V in Vietnam

The Beatles and the Stones

Made it good to be alone

To be alone

 

Tone Loc - "Funky Cold Medina"

 

 

Cold coolin at a bar, and I'm lookin for some action

But like Mike Jagger said, I can't get no satisfaction

 

Kris Kristofferson - "Blame It on the Stones"

 

 

Mister Marvin Middle Class is really in a stew

Wond'rin' what the younger generation's coming to

And the taste of his martini doesn't please his bitter tongue

Blame it on the Rolling Stones...

Blame it on the Stones; blame it on the Stones

You'll feel so much better, knowing you don't stand alone

Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation

Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones

 

Bruce Springsteen - "All the Way Home"

 

 

Love leaves nothin' but shadows and vapor

We go on, as is our sad nature

Now it's some old Stones' song the band is trashin'

If you feel like dancin', baby I'm askin'

 

Maroon 5 - "Moves Like Jagger"

 

 

I don't need to try to control you

Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger

 

If you've gotten through all these videos unscathed, it's time for a bonus! For those of you who love Mick's hip shaking and neck thrusts, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and watch him "Jaggercise" in the 80s music vid "Dancing in the Streets" with David Bowie:
