WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Pop singer Nick Jonas says he lost a ping-pong game to the young daughters of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama.
The 16-year-old member of the boy band, the Jonas Brothers, said the ping-pong game occurred as he was waiting backstage at "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" with Obama daughters Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, People.com reported Friday.
But Jonas's brother, Joe, hinted the daughters of the next U.S. president had a bit of an advantage on Nick.
"(There was) a little pressure with the 25 Secret Service agents there," Joe Jonas said.
Nick added that he and his brothers, Joe, 19, and Kevin, 21, are ready to perform at Obama's inauguration ceremonies next week in Washington.
"We know Sasha and Malia are fans of 'Burning Up,' so we'll be playing that," he told People, referring to a popular Jonas Brothers hit.
