Jason Mraz Geek in the Pink
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
Jason Mraz knows how to have a good time. What’s more, he doesn’t seem to have a problem doing it looking however he wants to look.
“Geek in the Pink” is good proof. The entire video is Mraz dancing around the streets in a pink shirt that reads ‘Otaku’ (a japanese name for those obsessed with anime or manga) letting people sample his songs with a bulky pair of headphones. And, as the song says (if you can understand what he’s saying; Mraz has one of the fastest mouths int he west), he doesn’t care what people think of the way he looks: in fact he seems to revel in the attention.
“Geek in the Pink” was one of two singles released in 2005 to promote Mraz’s album Mr. A-Z (the other being his arguably most popular song “Wordplay”). It was extremely popular on iTunes and was sung by Chris Richardson on American Idol and Greg Neufeld during the fifth season of Canadian Idol.
