MAROONED AT THE SUPER BOWL

After a clever commercial that brought together dozens of NFL greats, Maroon 5 spent 13-/1/2 minutes on the Super Bowl LIII stage amid lots of flames, a drumline and SpongeBob antics.

Maroon 5 rolled through nine songs with Travis Scott jumping in about a third of the way through and Big Boi driving through the crowd in a classic Cadillac to perform “The Way You Move.” The OutKast co-leader got less than a minute for his performance; Scott’s moment had the CBS censors pushing the bleep button three times.

The main attraction, of course, was Adam Levine, who decided to get sexy just after the 10 minute mark, singing “Sugar” in a tank top and ”Moves Like Jagger” shirtless. At one point, the CBS cameras made viewers believe Levine had Eddie Van Halen-like skills on guitar.

Levine and Big Boi donned ATLiens jacks for their moment together, a reference to OutKast’s second album, a classic that—we’re guessing here—the Mercedes-Benz Dome crowd has never heard. Did they have those freshly minted or have they been sitting in Big Boi’s closet for 23 years?

Songs from the set shot up into the iTunes Top 20. "She Will Be Loved" and "Girls Like You" led the way followed by "Sugar" and "Moves Like Jagger."
