Pure Imagination by Maroon 5

[@wrongmirrorball]

This is one of the two songs that Adam's voice isn't annoying as hell, and I actually do love this version!

[@Zen-sx5io]

What's the other one?

[@wrongmirrorball]

Sunday Morning, but it's strictly my opinion

[@070101r2d2]

All of Songs About Jane is good

[@soulxstice]

Love this version of Pure Imagination, right alongside Buckethead's. Don't know why everyone is saying it's sexy and seductive, I mean, yeah, it's Adam Levine, but I get more of a somber tone, nice and chilled.

[@federicacostanza2651]

It is seductive though...especially some parts ❤️‍🔥💥

[@ranata]

It is though. Especially the part before the bridge when he kinda moans. This is a good stripper song. Lolol.

[@princesskitu]

I'm not a big fan of Maroon5 but I think this is a very nice version of the song

[@Yxiran]

I don't know why everyone feels to need to compare every single version of every song ever. This is one of my favourite songs in the world, and I personally love it whenever my favourite artists sing it and put they're own twists on it. They may never be better than the original, but they're good and to me that's all that matters.

[@Rachgraha]

And suddenly, it's not about candy anymore!

[@DragonLuvrrr]

I am 35 years old..... and this sound... mesmerizes me...... WOW LOVE IT!!! The guitar riffs...the awsome lyrical sound.... (I ripped it to my ipod about 3 years ago) shhhhhh!!!! AMAZING!

[@robotfuture2004]

Still breathing?

[@jadec1828]

No Fiona Apple makes it hauntingly beautiful

[@ranata]

The best rendition I have ever heard.. this is definitely a fave

[@LONGSHOT9143]

This sounds like something the new Ultron would listen to while on a relaxing murder spree.

[@prestonpowers4717]

this video is almost as old as youtube itself, i remember listening to this same video soo many years ago. glad its still here, hope it always remains

[@Benjamin.J.Holliday]

omg 😢 I hope they can perform it now as a tribute

[@hazlcha]

Tributes like this show how great the original was. Nothing like simplicity, and no one more simply brilliant than Gene Wilder...

[@bezerkoid]

Am I the only guy that imagines villains gearing up and murdering to this version of the song?

[@ChiriDarkrose]

No, you most certainly aren't alone on this.

[@LegoManiac5202]

This song gets me in an extremely psychopathic mood e-e

[@fredthefriendlyfiend]

Nah, I think about the world in black n white on fire while everyone dies in various ways in slow mo. Like someone on fire jumping out the 7th story window of a building , people passing out behind the wheel and running over everyone, someone being beat up by 10 people, a bunch of suicide bombers chasing after groups of people, intercontinental ballistic missiles being shot out by the hundreds into the sky. All in slow motion and black n white of course. This is what goes on in my head when I hear the song(:

[@HaffSack]

bezerkoid maybe it should be the opening credits of the suicide squad movie!?

[@bezerkoid]

Yes! I totally played this over the Suicide Squad mission in the new Lego Batman game.

[@chulalavida]

This song is soo soothing with this group. He has a beautiful voice, so relaxing. Would love to drive down a winding road listening to this song for a long long time and let my imagination gooooooo

[@SMS4liife]

I expected there to be more maroon than just that one guy's scarf

[@EasyEvening]

I think this is absolutely beautiful. They did their own thing and made it sound gorgeous. This may just be my opinion, though. Hearing this is like seeing a different side of this song.

[@789reishram]

I don't know.. In my opinion, they should revise 2:05 until the end. It just kills the mood for me.. Just my opinion, of course!

[@TheEracode]

sounds awesome and the guitar riff is just magnificent

[@TheMegablob522]

I love this version so much better

[@fjinsu]

thank you soccerfan the harmonizing and the added bass and drums makes a crazy twist to the original happy song into and like spongebobdora said "a dark hypnotizing song"

[@ericlee7466]

Is this from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory? At the end, when they ride that elevator? It sounds like it.

[@gabbykingmusic]

Cody Lee it originally was. Gene Wilder sang it when he lead his guests into the factory, but I think it played in the background throughout :)

[@spontaneoussam2]

this love of pure imagination has me moving like jagger

[@AndarManik]

They should of played this in kick ass that would of been so cool

[@magerehenk7579]

+sík-ɪn lesson have* please...

[@AndarManik]

thanks for you input will it will be processed soon

[@chulalavida]

This song has some kind of magic to it. His voice is sooo romantic. They did a great job with this version and I'm a Willy Wonka fan since I was a little girl.

[@Meseia88]

I feel like this is a stripper's song. I just picture someone going around a pole.

[@wilmonowski]

an now so will i :)

[@nixietubes]

aw damn you, that's gonna ruin the song for me

[@SteveOmari]

this is dopE for real. Laid back beat, smooth transitions, and overall a nice rendition.

[@squishinggollum]

1% Of the comments: This is a nice song. 99%: I'm so dark and mysterious, I feel like an evil edgy villain when I listen to this *tips fedora* #14andlostsoul -_-

[@paulettesoulliere5038]

I love your imagination! Very nice arrangement of the song...

[@tidiarr]

only maroon 5 song i like

[@Rapashi]

I love this song and thank you for your creative touch.

[@enderman961]

This song sounds like its for stoners

[@dr2407]

which is why the phrase "living there you'll be free if you truly wish to be" is so significant because the only way to be free is to let go of all control even from yourself but you have to chose to do this which most people don't want to do that i think is the reason most don't like this song because it is like a herald of the darker part of the imagination or at least what we consider the darker part

[@TheNomad2142]

This version make me what to get high for some raison lol

[@charmainestephens]

profit225 same lol

[@WuNdAfRiEnD]

Dude! I do that ish too! Listen to it, over...and over...and over... Its very appealing.

[@kimbaati]

creepy version of a beautiful song

[@VaxNam]

+Kimberly Brown i cannot agree more

[@gofightlose]

his voice. the vox-synth. that guitar solo. this is a wreck.

[@trinitothebone1]

They added a litle more instruments, but I still get the peace from it, though no one can redo it like what Gene did, thanks Gene for opening our imagination even more, THANKS if he only knew

[@SonicPLZ4Me]

for this forever! :D Thank your for uploading this! *Sorry for commenting twice! I'm typing this on my phone and I accidentally sent it before I finished typing!*

[@KatieFilmsStuffchannel]

i adore this song and i adore maroon 5 and when put together, well it's different, but i am impressed

[@honeyBreal]

Great song. I think I may have my school music department consider performing this song as a group. Omg that would be amazing!!!

[@ShirelShalom]

It's so cool to hear this song with earphones. It's like you hear the song in your'e head. EPIC *-*

[@icetunpopo]

what??? where i've been??? This is really awesomeeeee!!

[@PM5C]

this sounds soo cool! the original and this are both wonderful to my ears

[@PocketRebel]

I like the original a lot. I love this version. The original is more likely to fill one with a sense of wonder. A listener is far more likely to listen to the words Gene Wilder sings. That one gives me more of a nostalgic feeling. This one... I could imagine actually having it on my iPod. In truth, the fact that the versions are so different and both good is a testament to the simplistic beauty of the melody itself. Give props to the songwriters: Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley

[@RenHRbooklover]

am sooo happy glee is going to cover this song!! i love it sooo much

[@gclure]

I saw this movie as a kid, and I still like this song. Not a bad cover.

[@Kehy_ThisNameWasAlreadyTaken]

I love this version of the song...I love the original version. I love the Adam version (hell, I love Adam too). This song just possesses the power of awesome

[@Maroon5loverrcm]

Iove this! Adam's voice is so soothing!

[@HHHHEEELLLLOOOO1]

Love this song!! The original is the best! I also love the commercial for at&t with the original song =]

[@noohl]

this version is just more smooth and more like a proper than the original . i feel so relaxed!

[@sb822]

I could imagine this in some crazy fun house. Love the guitar solo.

[@trusty345]

i love this version, its outta this world for a remake

[@Louisanthoni1]

Great modern update to a classic...Am I the only one who happened upon this because of the new AT&T commercial.....??

[@qwertykatie101]

Wow. they did a great job with this song. of course, nothing beats the original, but this version is unbelievable.

[@hookem6598]

one of the best version of pure imagination I love it

[@90geekgirl06]

Nothing will ever beat the original, but this is a very good cover.

[@TheSmellyMelly19]

ive listened to this for like 5 hours in a row, i think im like half of the viewers :P

[@LoraDream]

I don't know,this makes me feel paranoid.I love it :3

[@MrMatto91]

no one can sing it better the Wilder, but Maroon 5 you manged to trail this Wilders version by hair. Great work.

[@feuip]

I liked this!!! It sounds very nice!

[@musbraf357]

The question has been asked how do you make something that is great better Maroon 5 has done it with this remake. I love it!

[@15native]

love this song, i still love the classic

[@beachrose7]

Wow, very cool cover, they're so good..

[@missvaleriano]

best version so far... better than the glee version :P this version rocks :)

[@Jazatron_ASMR]

imo (already commented today ) this song is kickass ^^ so stepin, ur not alone

[@tanyafaktes6381]

this is so sEDUCTIVE AND PERFECT

[@loudyetlovely]

i always loved this song... this just takes it to a new level. anyone know what year this was released ?

[@CHIBImajik]

DID NOT KNOW THEY DID THIS. WHY AM SOOO LATE. OMG THIS BEAUTIFUL.

[@KVW97]

This song (in this version) brings back cool memories from last year (*tear*)

[@funfun2296]

sooo mezmorizing...i liked dah sick beat..dats off dah chain like dey chopped n screwed it lol n i like the old school hawiian theme guitar riff like at 1:07...this is the best cover ever!! Almost as good as the original bt never better....

[@acheick]

its really trippy, i love the beat it makes me chillax

[@marioLPmadness]

i have always loved that song... and this is grate...

[@jibberjabberwock]

I can't believe they did a cover of this - it's not something you'd hear of. It's amazing!

[@razor0047]

this is pretty good, wasn't expecting it to be so good, but its riding

[@garnerean]

I think Maroon 5 did a fine job with this song. At least they exposed this song to a younger generation,

[@PloiAm]

i am a maroon five lover. Me and my ex enjoyed their first (and best) album, songs about jane, together for our first valentines day. Played it through, multiple times. Never got sick of it. So maybe im biased a bit, although i think their second album was just ok, but i think this song is great. The guitar solo may be a bit much, but they had to add their little twist to it, so i don't hate them for it. But i love this

[@MFPalubaJr]

this is really good after a few listens it is more intact than the orginal. great cover

[@ItsTheKylie]

Props to Maroon 5 having the guts to actually cover this song (and actually making it sound fantastic.)

[@stupehigh]

I ABSOOOOOLUTELY LOVE IT. I can't get this version outta my head :}

[@300Z31]

Pretty damn good job. I kinda wish that Me First would do a cover of this song too.

[@fara40000]

obviously nothing beats the original, but you gotta admit, this is pretty good :D

[@DocDLH]

Nice cover ... it does show just how amazing young Jackie Evancho's performance of this song is .. almost a magical quality ... crystalline. The male voices do add a nice somewhat soothing quality but not as ethereal as a female soprano voice, though Glee's rendition using the male tenors with the alto / sopranos from the girls adding fullness and richness.

[@miltz4]

the old one is amazing. This is just Trippy as hell. do not listen high, if you want to accomplish something in that day..

[@remembermorrison]

This is great! Good job Adam.

[@jeniphergronvold8191]

I can't stop listening to this ever since I found it on tumblr!

[@SainadSuarez]

wow, this is beautiful. I love it

[@Arrekushizu1127]

It sounds rather creepy, but a nice creepy. I love the beat too XP

[@The12aerosmith]

great cover, love the re-working of it, where is this from? it wasnt on either album

[@Keke408]

Omg the beginning was creepy but the end was beautiful(: omg Adam levine is amazing

[@maroon5musicadam]

This is an AMAZING cover!!!!!!! How can you no stand Maroon 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They're the best band that ever existed!!!!!!!!

[@monkeymadnessyao]

The audiosynergy of this composition can be described as: imaginatively soothing to the Cochlea of the listener. The piece begins as light and peaceful, with slowly-paced undertones. SUCK IT BRENNAYOUNG WERE BAKED. sincerely bob&jc

[@The29thStreet]

I like the modern twist on it, but nothing beats an original of course. :)

[@tetsuojuno]

AWESOME!!!!!- even with out the real beginning.

[@jazzzzmm]

This is very creepy yet soothing lol

[@Qualyk21]

Love it. But yeah nothing beats the original!!!! MSG!!!

[@JokinglySerious]

The 1971 film was named 'willy wonka' because the producers had a deal with a candy company who wanted to sell commercially successful candy with wonka imprinted on it...

[@zxAMBULANCExz]

"Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure imagination. Take a look, and you'll see into your imagination. We'll begin, with a spin, traveling in a world of my creation. What we'll will see, will defy explaination." Favorite part for sure.

[@DragonLuvrrr]

M5 RAWKZ!!!!!!!!!! I love it!

[@MrVictorClark]

This version is pretty good IMO. I like the use of the lap steel guitar, and it has a nice psychadellic feel to it.

[@TheSmellyMelly19]

my life is complete, this is the best thing that has happened to me in like 6 years... probably since the last time i saw willy wonka and the chocolate factory
