"ASEAN, Superstar ... Do you think you're what they say you are? ASEAN, ASEAN! Why we accept whatever you have done?" he chanted.

"We'd have managed better if we'd had it planned. Why'd we chose such a

remote ASEANis land?"

Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer sang "It's Now or Never," while U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick, dressed as a cowboy, sang "Oh My Darling Clementine."
