Colin Powell Sings 'Call Me Maybe' On CBS This Morning

» 6 comments

Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' took the Top 40 charts by storm, and on Wednesday's CBS This Morning, former Secretary of State Colin Powell showed off his pop culture savvy. Powell and co-host Gayle King burst into song, with Charlie Rose sitting back as a spectator.

Of course, we can't say he exactly carried the tune ' but A for effort! Powell's been making the media rounds promoting his new book, so, needless to say, his other appearances have been more, er, serious.

• I expect to see pigs flying today

• Very cute story.  

• The end times are near.

• Tune in tomorrow. Dick Cheney will be tap dancing.

• Colin Powell voted for a communist (Obama) in 2008.  Thanks for fighting the cold war,  I was right there with you at the end, but you got punked from within.

• Communist?
  Preposterous
  You're insane in the brain or a troll.
