Lyrics
Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
And aim for my heart
If you feel like
And take me away
And make it OK
I swear I'll behave

You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You say I'm a kid
My ego is big
I don't give a shit
And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

Maybe it's hard
When you feel like
You're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I'll make you believe
That I've got the key

Oh so get in the car
We can ride it
Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here (Oh! Yeah yeah!)
And it goes like this (Uh)

Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you (Uh)
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you (Oh, yeah)
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger (Yeah yeah)
I've got the moves like Jagger

You wanna know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe, oooh baby rub me right
But if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this (Ay! Ay! Ay! Aaay!)

And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue (Take me by the tongue)
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you (Yeah yeah yeah!)

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
(Oh, yeah)
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

HOOOOOLY CRAP what an inspired song choice. THAT TITLE. Such a happy making vid, I love it.

[calvinahobbes]

I knew it was coming, and I still lol'd :D Your editing is stellar, and this was such a joy to watch!

[runawaynun]

HA! I knew there was going to have to be a vid with this song and it was edited wonderfully. Awesome. :D

[d_generate_girl]

This is freaking *beautiful*. I love every single frame of it, the way that you've retold the story of the movie, but how it feels completely new. I love Gipsy Danger lighting up to "aim for my heart", I love all of Raleigh's bravado, and Mako showing up in the middle to stop everything and everyone cold by how awesome and perfect she is. I just want to roll around in this for another six hours.

[rivkat]

The vid really delivers on the clever title--I particularly loved Mako's part.

[bluemeridian]

Gorgeous!!

[pearwaldorf]

This song is so perfect. This is such great fun. I love it.

[credoimprobus]

My inner 12 year old GREATLY APPROVES of this vid (because it's alllll about the stuff said inner 12 year old loved about this movie :D). Also, THAT TITLE.

Stunning editing, too; such a shiny, shiny vid, this!

[were_duck]

THIS WAS SO FUN MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING WAY TO FIGURE OUT A HILARIOUS PUN AND TAKE IT TO ELEVENTY HOLY SHIT :D

[chaila]

Yay! This is so fun! The stuttery editing between the inside and the outside of the jaegers is amaaaaaazing. So good!

[cupidsbow]

Great fun.

[starlady]

Phenomenal editing, and the way you got the movie to work with the song--perfection. Amazing, amazing editing.

[yasaman]

Delightful! :D

[niyalune]

This is awesome and so much fun - so much Kaiju punching ! I particularly love the part with Mako.

[anatsuno]

What they all said! This is so much more potent and amazing than "just" a pun - but the pun part of it all is as perfect as the rest. Take it to eleven indeed. Great work!!

[monkey_pie]

Perfection! :D

[cofax7]

OMG THAT WAS AWESOME!

Dance vid! Such a brilliant dance vid!

::flails::

[leanwellback]

ajsakf;sajdl;sjf FUCK YES. This is SO AWESOME. The editing is amazing and the song is just brilliant as are your clip choices, especially the Mako section. Genius :D

[verity]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE I'M JUST MAKING LITTLE MEEPING NOISES AND PAWING AT THE SCREEN

PERFECT SONG CHOICE, PERFECT EDITING, PERFECT EVERYTHING

OH MY GOD

[purplefringe]

This is simply inspired. I hope you did a little dance of glee when you first hit on the idea of this pun, and an even bigger dance of glee when you finished the vid and saw how amazing it was. Heeeee!

[opusculasedfera]

BEST PUN.

This was fabulous. It started off all glorious tech-porn and I was super on board for that, don't get me wrong, but then the female vocals starts and we got Mako's story TOO and I was head over heels. Not that Mako's story doesn't also have a nice heap of tech-porn and mecha effects, which are much appreciated. ;)

[revolutionaryjo]

INSPIRED!

[heresluck]

THE TITLE. I'M CACKLING.

I love that the vid doesn't coast on the hilarious pun, even though it probably could; the timing is great, the cocky facial expressions at the beginning are brilliant, and Mako's appearance in the middle is just fantastic. If this doesn't show at Club Vivid in August I will cry. CRY.

[vivien]

I am in love with this vid. Excellent editing!

[china_shop]

This is so coooool! Wow!

[wealhtheow]

Bahaha! This is great! The "take me by the tongue" bit made me laugh, and the choice to use Mako footage during the bridge was inspired!

[echan]

JOY!! Such great timing, brilliant use of the verses, all around brilliant.

[franzeska]

Fabulous! My Festivids party all loved it too. They were much taken with the literalism. (A v. serious bunch, they.)

[aris_tgd]

Ahahaaa, this was great! Funny and a little wistful in places, but I loved the kickass Mako verse.

[luthien82]

Oh! Oh! Oh! This was fantastic! I don't even have words, it was just perfect!

[valoise]

Fantastic!

[kj_svala]

wow, this vid is awesome! I love the timing, the clips, the action! your editing is made of win, I love it.

and the song? haha, that`s an awesome choice.

[sarkastic]

Okay, that was just awesome!

[metonymy]

This vid is so much better than I expected from the punny song choice - you did an amazing job with the quick cuts and hitting all the right beats with the music. A+++!

[theoret]

So I was kind of expecting this to just be a silly humour vid, and okay, so there's definitely humour, but wow, this vid certainly isn't 'just' anything. Your snappy editing had me from the clips to the beat in the beginning, and I love how you've balanced the humour with such a genuine portrayal of these characters.

[odessie]

Absolutely amazing, just flawless editing. I don't know the source but loved the way you made all the big CGI action stuff look like a dance.

[arduinna]

Oh, so fabulous! The song choice had me grinning, and the editing had me gleeful. Beautifully done!

[redcirce]

This was fabulous! Perfect song choice. :)

[huntress]

Great editing, great song choice, great movie. In other words: THIS REALLY ROCKED! Absolutely loved it.

[everbright]

AMAZING! It's so easy to make a heartbreaking vid to Pac Rim (despite the optimistic tone of the movie) but this is just a brilliantly cut HAPPY VID! The one shot of Raleigh punching Chuck was genius in context.
