Moves Like Jagger. In this video, the real and I mean REAL Mick Jagger shows up. If you watch the video, it's girls who have their hair cut like Mick's and they're dressed like him from previous tours and concerts, like 1969, 1981, 1972, 1978, etc. And if you watch the video and try to find Mick, it isn't hard, look for a guy wearing a bright red jacket over a black shirt and black jeans, that'll be him!
