John Mayer's 'Pedamundo': Okay, we'll join the party

John-Mayer_l John Mayer: Singer songwriter. Serial dater. And now: holiday originator. Behold the awesome powers of having over a million followers on Twitter.

On Wednesday night, Mayer apparently made up the word "pedamundo," which his followers told him meant "drunken party world." Mayer likie! From there on out, it was one tweet after the next: "When the lyrics to Sweet Child O' Mine describe your life story, that is Pedamundo," "You know that buzz you have 2.5 drinks in where everything in the world feels achievable? That is Pedamundo," "Pedamundo is coming… The official kickoff to Summer partying. For the people, by the people, in the people." And so on.

His followers responded in kind, offering "Here in Canada we're celebrating Pedamundo in our usual way-being extremely polite, murdering seals and listening to Rush!" "I'm raising my flag to double-mast in honour of Pedomundo," "If you could listen to every Beach Boys song instantaneously, it still would lack the feel good summer spirit of Pedamundo," etc etc partying etc.

Normally I'd find this kind of thing annoying, but…I am so on board with the start of summer party season! Monkey butler, bring me a daiquiri!

How are you getting in the summer spirit, PopWatchers? Can "pedamundo" bust up the June Gloom?

    Honestly, I’m more fascinateda by your use of “monkey butler”. I want one and I want to use it in my sentences often.

    You must be in LA. June Gloom is killing me. Truly, is Pedamundo the answer? I’m thinking it’s Monkey Butler to the rescue!

    Spanish being my native language, I think that his word is extremely nasty and annoying. I am an early fan, I’ve loved him through the years and think of him as a guitar genius. But his personality has really been putting me off lately.

  • Chris

    You kidding me? His personality as in his ability to make up words and push it in the direction of having a feel good time and embracing the summer feeling? Hardly a fair thing to base your opinion shift on.
    Roll on Pedamundo! I’m going surfingi n a polar bear costume with matching bandana and sunglasses.. Pedamundo? maybe, getting there..

    I have trouble with the meaning of the word, Pedamundo-kid world. It sounds like a weekend at Neverland Ranch.

    Being a Mexican-American this is funny…No offense but when you hear a white person say a word like this it is hilarious. Well actually I’d love to hear him pronounce it. And I have no doubt people who get pedos (im not meaning farts I meant drunk) will use Pedamundo…now to get a bottle of tequila & karaoke lol..

    Where is John Mayer’s publicist? Does he have one? Somebody should stop him from constantly putting his foot in his mouth (oh, that wasn’t the ‘peda’ I was getting at).
