Maroon 5, Framed
Welcome back to Framed, your weekly go-to place for music videos and music video humor. This week our super special guest stars are Maroon 5, the California band that’s sold over 15 million LPs in America alone, and over 100 million singles worldwide!
I tried to find out how they got their name, but — and I’m being frank! — I sort of don’t care. It’s not like it’s that great a name, after all. But if you know, please tell us all about it in the comments section of this blog.
Our video is “Sugar,” shot just last December, and it’s a pip. In it, we see the Maroon boys crashing any number of weddings, to the delight of brides, grooms, friends, clergymen and ordinary people who have no strong feelings about anything. Naturally, everyone’s delighted out of their minds that Maroon 5 is playing a wedding! Hell, it’s so good that their next video might be going to funerals!
It’s no surprise that the vid was directed by David Dobkin, who also directed the Wedding Crashers film. We hear that some folks are questioning if the whole thing wasn’t just a set-up for the video — that Maroon 5 didn’t really crash the weddings —but who the heck knows?
Not us! But we hope you enjoy the video, the pix and the captions, and return here next week for the greatest Framed ever written!
