Video: John Mayer and Prancercise...a match made in (exercise) heaven?

Just for fun, John Mayer released his song Paper Dolls, and had the creator of the fitness workout called Prancercise prance to the song in his official video.

Prancercise has been around since the late 1990s, and perhaps now, with the release of Mayer's video, it'll catch on in the same way Zumba has.

Trivia: some say that Paper Dolls is Mayer's response to Taylor Swift's song about him, called Dear John.
