John Mayer Goes Low Buck for Video: Watch here

John Mayer couldn’t agree on a budget for his new music video for “New Light,” so he decided to take matters into his own hands. The 40-year-old singer-songwriter premiered his latest visual on Thursday.

“I needed to make a video for ‘New Light’ but nobody could agree on a budget, so I went to a place downtown and made this with a company that usually does birthday and Bar Mitzvah videos,” John explained on his Instagram. And the result is hilariously awesome.

The tongue-in-cheek clip features Mayer dancing, spinning and flying in front a green screen, with footage of zebras, fireworks and sunsets playing behind the singer. Mayer even takes his on-screen beau for a ride in a clip-art SAAB, with the roof Photoshopped off.
