OK, but how? On an episode of the Office Ladies podcast, Jenna Fischer read this excerpt from John Mayer’s Tumblr blog:
"One of my favorite shows on television, The Office, wanted to use my song, "Your Body Is A Wonderland" in a scene for their Christmas episode. Now, I’m not making apologies for my work, but it's safe to say I don't get asked to use 'Wonderland' for strongman competitions and documentaries about aircraft carriers. I usually get asked so that people can goof on it, so I initially turned down the request. But, after thinking about it I decided to go for it — but with one stipulation."
The Office had to have the song -- it’s what Michael sings as he attempts to romance two Asian waitresses from Benihana that he can’t tell apart. So B.J. Novak granted Mayer’s request and awarded him a Dundie for Tallest Music Dude. Congrats, brother.
(Bonus revelation: Not only does Mayer have a Dundie, he also used to have a Tumblr.)
