As we've previously covered here, John Mayer is a funny guy. He likes to goof around, be silly, etc. But in this clip from Best Week Ever, Mayer takes it one step further and has his fun at the expense of one of the "little people" -- YouTube semicelebrity song stylist Tay Zonday.

One of the best and worst things about YouTube is that it gives anyone with a vision the opportunity to let their freak flag fly, and Zonday is no exception. His vocal gymnastics have earned him many fans and many slams, but it's "Chocolate Rain" that won him the Mayer treatment.

Mayer, accompanied by BWE's Sherrod Small, does not so much cover "Chocolate Rain," Zonday's earnest commentary on racism and poverty, as he does take the title, set it to Nelly Furtado's "Say it Right," and improvise new lyrics about poop.

Granted, putting oneself on YouTube is an invitation to mockery. And Zonday's an odd duck; he's easy to make fun of. But he's also a kid with a passion for music who's working his ass off to make a name for himself and make his dream happen. So it doesn't seem all that clever and funny when a rich and famous musican takes cheap potshots at him. It seems, to be honest, kind of poopy.

Campy British sensation Mika has already been compared plenty to Freddie Mercury. "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" is unlikely to change that -- it's like a kinder, sweeter, disco-infused "Fat Bottomed Girls," joyfully performed on a sugar high. Bursting forth with color and energy, the video features Mika boisterously taking to the streets with a wide assortment of plus-sized women, dancing and cavorting in what looks like one of the most fun block parties ever.

Skinny girls, watch out. Between this and A Fat Rant, the day of the big girl isn't just coming -- I think it's here. Sit back, have a donut, and enjoy.

John Mayer may be the King of Sissy Rock, but never let it be said that the guy doesn't like to mix things up. He got white people dancing on Chappelle's Show, he donned a bear suit to chat with fans on his own show (the little seen and creatively named John Mayer Has a TV Show), and now he's broken out this tearful post-show confession at Red Rocks Ampitheatre.

Seems that John's regularly scheduled backstage pit bull fight went awry during the show, and things went downhill from there. Oopsie.

I'm sure an angry letter from the National American Pit Bull Terrier Association is on its way as we speak, but I myself prefer to focus on the positive, such as John's fine use of the word "truncated." You don't get a lot of good "truncated" nowadays.

Pan away!

Emotionally evocative, there is something hauntingly simple about this downtrodden love song. It seems as though the artist, Fionn Regan, is speaking directly to each listener from his soul. His tone is firm yet flexible and his eyes seem drenched with pain.

Using a variety of urban and scenic landscapes, the video was shot with live acoustics and pieced together by editors. Beautifully filmed, the audio often competes with wind, running water, and lofted ceilings. Each scene has its own background and ambient noise, yet the song never drowns in the fluidly chaotic motion.

“There's something captivating about the gentleness of the song, and it's never overpowered by the visuals,” says Pitchfork in their Forkcast feature of Regan’s vid. “Whether he's completely alone or competing with ambient noise, Regan's voice-- accompanied by just a guitar-- is unwavering, and he has no trouble staring down the viewer when he delivers the song's title-line ultimatum.”
