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
