When Alicia Keys took the stage during President Obama's Inaugural ball, the audience was expecting to hear her latest single, and 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' anthem, "Girl on Fire." But instead, the singer surprised them all with a especial version of the song where she sang, "Obama is On Fire."

The tweaked version of the song went like this,

He's President and he's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, longer like a highway
He's living in a world, and it's on fire
Feeling the catastrophe, but knows he can fly away

Oh, he got both feet on the ground
And he's burning it down
Oh, he got his head in the clouds
And he's not backing down

Obama is on fire
