Michael losing himself to James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover" was painfully awesome and just the beginning of a sing-along spectacular holiday episode of The Office last night. There's a two minute recap here, but it unfortunately omits those priceless karaoke moments. Here's what the crew treated us with during their Dunder Mifflin holiday party
Kevin sang "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette (with extra "You"s) Michael and Andy sang "Your Body Is A Wonderland" by John Mayer Kelly sang "We Belong Together" by Pat Benatar (creeping Ryan the fuck out) Dwight sang "Lady" by Styx (Angela smiled!) Angela sang "Little Drummer Boy" (with Dwight as mic stand)
Creed sang something, too -- anybody remember what song that was? Best performance goes either to Kevin's burning take on Alanis, or Michael's "Your Body Is A Wonderland," if only for his expression when Benihana Girl #1 (or was it #2) rode up on the bike (classic). And the holiday lesson Michael learned last night? Bros before ... well, he's better at it than we are.

UPDATE: John Mayer's no fool. From his blog (thanks, Bryan!):
One of my favorite shows on television, The Office, wanted to use my song "Your Body Is A Wonderland" in a scene for their Christmas episode. Now, 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. 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:
Quid pro quo. Well played, J May. Congrats on your Dundie for "Tallest Music Dude."
