Setting aside for a moment all the world's major problems, NATO foreign ministers let their hair down at the end of a meeting in Antalya, Turkey. NATO

In a scene captured on video by a Turkish news agency, a group of NATO foreign ministers and European officials performed a rousing, after-dinner version of “We Are the World,” the 1985 charity single, after a summit meeting in the resort town of Antalya on Wednesday.

Video taken from a report by Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency showed the foreign ministers of Turkey and Greece — Mevlut Cavusoglu and Nikos Kotzias — swaying arm in arm and singing the line, “There’s a choice we’re making — we’re saving our own lives.” Just to their left, a singer encouraged NATO’s secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg, and the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, to join in.

According to Hurriyet, a Turkish newspaper, Mr. Cavusoglu, host of the dinner, invited his colleagues to join him onstage with members of a local band to sing a “song for peace.”

If one would rely only on the comments on YouTube you would think these people committed some great crime. Around here, in this little MJ Community we know better, right?

Even folks in high places with grave responsibilities need to unwind sometimes. Antalya looks like a great location. Why not add some good music to mix as well? And, after all, is there any better and more universal music than Michael's?

Whether it is used by lonely men to court ladies, by couples to make babies, by enthusiastic dancers to stops riots in Baltimore or by NATO foreign ministers to exercise their vocal range, it doesn't matter just as long as the positive message in Michael's music is recognized
