FIFA president Sepp Blatter by his own admission, 'got carried away' at the opening ceremony of the 2010 World Cup tournament.
He took to the microphone to declare the tournament open, then in an extraordinary move started singing and dancing (pictured above) and encouraged the crowd to do the same.
''Maybe I shouldn't have launched into an acoustic version of Lady GaGa's Bad Romance, but you live and learn don't you'' said Blatter from his hospital bed.
He then linked seamlessly into Poker Face, before doing a medley of Shakira's hits, as the stadiums capacity crowd looked on in bewilderment, before doing a 'spur of the moment' dance routine which resulted in an ambitious back flip spurred on by his sidekick/personal assistant Michel Platini.
''Yes, yes, the back flip was a stupid idea, but it was sunny, I'd had a few beers, Michel was encouraging me....I got caught up in the atmosphere what can I say.....Bafana Bafana Shakira Shakira''.
By attempting the back flip, Blatter sustained a back injury which could keep him off the dance floors of South Africa until at least July 3rd.
