Barack Obama Enters To The Sound Of Bowie

Under the spotlight, the serious spotlight…

BowieNetter MrHoppy posted this YouTube link on the MBs following Barack Obama‘s speech at the Tiergarten in Berlin, Germany, earlier today.

It seems that David Bowie’s Let’s Dance was the music of choice to get the crowd in the right mood for Obama moments before he took to the podium.

However, as you can see from the YouTube clip, Susan Rice, Obama’s Foreign Policy Adviser, may not be familiar with the song’s lyric when she commented: “This is actually going to be a very serious speech, despite the background music.”

Despite her misgivings, it seems the music did the trick and is it just me, or does Obama’s most recent publicity shot, above, seem somewhat familiar?
