John Mayer Plays With Lana Del Rey's Video Games

4/09/2012 10:30 PM ET | Filed under: Music Minute • John Mayer • PerezTV

It's a slice of mysterious wonder!

John Mayer's throat may be under construction, but that hasn't stopped the musician from constructing some non-verbal treats for our ears!

Mayer recently posted this ethereal, instrumental recording of Lana Del Rey's hit tune Video Games, and we have to say…we like it better than the original!

Maybe we like it because it lacks Lana's unpredictable, breathy voice, or because it takes the song (and us) to an unknown dimension where music is a tangible, physical object - the guitar strumming invades your brain and flutters over your body like it's got fingers!!

Check out Johnny's re-invention of Video Games (above).

Are U a fan??

You don't have to be rude. One minute you post rave things about Lana, and the next your are an ass. You don't have to be rude, you can just say you like his version better.

She imbued the mood first and you know the tune. If you'd heard it as some random Mayer instrumental, you'd have clicked forward.
