John Mayer’s comedy résumé is increasingly ambitous and impressive - including some stand-up, a VH1 variety show, a 2 Girls 1 Cup parody, and (of course) a bright green Borat-style man thong. So, it shouldn’t be too surprising that his latest viral video (entitled Makin’ Music with John Mayer) was produced by Judd Apatow and features Kristen Bell and J.B. “Get In That Ass” Smoove, right? Right?!? The very funny clip features the guitarist giving fans a glimpse behind the scenes of his song-writing process and an exposé of why he needs a drug addict-for-hire, an angry focus group and a team of songwriters to help pen tracks about “when you’re fucking one supermodel and you make the other ones jealous.”

One of the biggest surprises from the concert came during Prince’s big finale - a lyrically-adjusted cover of Radiohead’s “Creep.” Packed with a ripping guitar solo and extended falsetto crooning, this one song may have delivered the $4.8 million worth of Prince that festival goers and promoters were expecting. Check out the MP3 and video of the performance below.
