But ‘Animals’ takes that violence to a whole new level. This isn’t the first time Levine has used violence to talk about love– Maroon 5’s 2010 video ‘ Misery‘ featured Levine getting beaten up by a girl in a sort of love-dance. And because there’s a real relationship underneath all the fake blood, the video risks making stalking seem like a legitimate or even attractive version of normal courtship behavior. Levine and Prinsloo only married in July, which makes the whole bloody-murder-fantasy seem like a perverted newlywed game. Mixing stalking with romantic pursuit is exactly the problem, and the fact that the girl in question is played by Levine’s real-life wife makes that line even blurrier.
