Read our privacy policy John Mayer has recorded his own version of a viral TikTok song that mocked his music. The singer responded to the video by social media user Vincent Haney, who has the TikTok username @johnmayerlover3000, in which he parodied Mayer’s music. Sitting in his car, Haney said: “Dudes who listen to John Mayer be like…” before pressing play on his car radio and singing a Mayer-inspired song. He can be sitting in a music studio and playing his own version of Vincent’s song, which includes the additional lyrics: “They really get me in the mood.” Mayer captioned the video: “Stitch with @johnmayerlover3000 step aside my child.” Haney commented in response: “NO WAY.” “Didn’t get it until I watched the original video then I LOST IT,” one fan wrote.
