The powers that be in the National Basketball Association apparently decided that the annual All-Star Game and surrounding weekend activities were not Fergalicious enough for their liking. So, they enlisted Fergie (of Black-Eyed Peas fame, not of Manchester United fame) to sing The Star-Spangled Banner prior to Sunday's game.
It went . . . interestingly.
Fergie, though, can do better than the NBA All-Star game. In order to showcase her true sporting-event performance talents, she needs to sing a song that is just as strange as her performances. A song like the Champions League anthem. At the Champions League final. Yes. YES.
Of course Sunday was not the first time Fergie has made waves while doing music at a major sporting event, but it was the first time she has done this:

The bottom line is this: Fantastic things happen when Fergie performs at sporting events. Now imagine this person singing the Champions League anthem, which does have actual lyrics:
Ce sont les meilleures équipes
Es sind die allerbesten Mannschaften
The main event
Die Meister
Die Besten
Les grandes équipes
The champions
Une grande réunion
Eine grosse sportliche Veranstaltung
The main event
Die Meister
Die Besten
Les grandes équipes
The champions
Ils sont les meilleurs
Sie sind die Besten
These are the champions
Die Meister
Die Besten
Les grandes équipes
The champions
Fergie, singing these lyrics in front of 22 very confused elite footballers before the Champions League final (fi-yi-yi-yi-na-a-a-al) in sensual fashion.
Let's make some soccer.
