Josh Groban released an album of show tunes earlier this year, and, much like South Park, he understands the power of Broadway musicals.
In a recent interview with Playboy, your mom’s second-favorite crooner (shouts to Michael Bublé) straight-up said that if you come to one of his concerts with your lady, you’ll get a blowjob. And this wasn’t some gradual comedown to Playboy‘s boys-will-be-boys level, Groban broke out the blowjob talk in the very first question.
For people who don’t know your music, how would you explain what you do?
My music has always been a little hard to define. It’s rooted in more classically inspired pop music. In the 1960s, 1950s and 1940s there was a much more full, rich, fluid style of singing, everything from Johnny Mathis to Mario Lanza. I generally shy away from saying it’s opera or classical, out of respect for that music. It’s a more traditional pop music that people aren’t used to today. Emotionally, a lot of the stuff I do is romantic. I tell the guys who come to my shows, “This is two hours of a very long night.” Wink wink, nudge nudge. I’m the amuse-bouche, if you will…
So can we look forward to the Josh Groban “You Will Get a Blow Job at the End of the Night” tour?
[Laughs] Listen, no guarantees, but it is highly probable you’ll get a BJ—or at the very least an HJ—by the end of the night.
Apparently, Groban has a bit of a reputation for being a “beta bro,” the kind of guy who’s not an overt creep, but hides his thirst behind a nice guy facade.
Just try not to think about how excited your aunt was to see Groban on tour, okay?
