Your Body Is a Wonderland - John Mayer
John Mayer’s “Your Body Is a Wonderland” should be a sweet little love song… but somehow it ends up sounding like a guided tour through a serial killer’s scrapbook. In this episode, we break down the lyrics, the deep-sea blanket metaphors, the miles of skin, the hand-only approach to intimacy, and the unbelievably cursed music video stare-downs.
We also dig into the Grammy it somehow won, Mayer’s teenage songwriting origins, his watch obsession, and why this track might be the most dentist-waiting-room song ever written.
If you’ve ever wondered how a “romantic pop song” turned into a psychological thriller, this one is for you.
