John Mayer now has another trophy to put up next to his Grammys – a Dundie. In Thursday’s episode of the NBC comedy “The Office,” Mayer’s 2002 hit “Your Body Is A Wonderland” was sung by the character Michael Scott, played by Steve Carrell.

In exchange for letting the show use his song, Mayer asked for a Dundie from show producer BJ Novak. The Dundies were made famous in an episode of the second season of “The Office” where the embarassing awards were presented to the show’s Dunder-Mifflin Scranton employees.

In a post on his blog at johnmayer.com, Mayer shows off a picture of a Dundie with his name on it, and the title “Tallest Music Dude.” Another photo shows him holding the statue in front of a white background embellished with Chili’s logos.

“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 get asked so that people can goof on it,” Mayer wrote. “I initially turned the request down, but after thinking about it, (and hearing the details on the incredibly funny sounding scene from producer BJ Novak) I decided to go for it – but with one stipulation: I want a Dundie.”

Looks like a dream come true for the superstar singer.
