Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Singer/songwriter John Mayer is the latest celebrity seeking internet viral video fame. He teams up with producer Judd Apatow for a 3-minute video for funnyordie.com.

In "Makin' Music with John Mayer," the 30-year-old artist takes the viewers behind the scenes of his songwriting process.

The video, with cameos from Kristen Bell and Apatow regulars Martin Starr and Steve Banos, features Mayer as he supervises a team of songwriters to pen him his song. According to the short film, he employed a coke addict to snort drugs for him as he wasn't really into drugs but needed the depression for a great song. He enlisted the help of his songwriters to write a track about something everybody can relate to, "when you're f*cking one supermodel to make the other ones jealous," and the finish process was presented over to a focus group, which includes one baby in a stroller.

Mayer's video is the latest addition to the comedy website created by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.
