“On Friday, Powell danced alongside five other U.S. officials sporting costumes that included an Indian headdress.


The group blasted out a version of the 1970s disco classic, to the delight of foreign ministers from across the Asia-Pacific and Europe.


‘President Bush, he said to me: ‘Colin, I need you to run the Department of State. We are between a rock and a hard place,” Powell and his colleagues sang to the tune of the disco classic.” (CNN)
