2
3	Jack Hody Johnson (born on May 18, 1975) is an American folk singer-singwriter, best known for his laid-back image.
4
5	Since debuting in 2001 with ''Brushfire Fairytales'', Jack has become a favorite among many for his simple, catchy songs, his friendly manner with fans, and his relaxed, fun live performances. Many of his songs get significant radio airplay, and almost his whole catalog gets at least some.

18
19	!! Tropes:
20	* AdamWesting: Both he and Andy Samberg (who frequently parodied Jack on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'') get a turn at this in the video for "At or With Me," with Samberg as a {{jerkass}} heckler version of himself and Johnson, who recognizes him, defying his "mellow" image by leaping off the stage and besting Samberg in a violent braw.
21	* AlbumTitleDrop: His first three albums:
22	** "Inaudible Melodies":
23	--> brushfire fairytales, itsy bitsy diamond whales
24	** "Times like These":
25	--> and it always goes on and on and on and on, on and on and on and on it goes
26	** "Better Together":
27	--> but if my dreams might find their way into my day-to-day scene, I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between
28	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Parodied in the afore-mentioned video for "At or With Me." Andy Samberg learns [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the hard way]] that Jack does ''not'' appreciate hecklers.
29	* GreenAesop: "The Horizon Has Been Defeated."
30	* PopStarComposer: ''Sing Alongs and Lullabies from the Film [[WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge2006 Curious George]]''. Arguably, the album (particularly "Upside Down," which became a minor radio hit) is [[BreakawayPopHit better remembered than the movie it was tied in to]].
31	* PrefersGoingBarefoot: Is known to appear barefoot in concerts, photoshoots, albums, music videos, etc. ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' had fun with this with fake commercials where he (played by Andy Samberg) hawks JJ Casuals, shoes that look like bare feet.
32	* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Both his image and music are defined by being upbeat, mellow and carefree.
