[source: NME.com] New York mayor Michael Bloomberg performed a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Born To Run" at his annual staff Christmas party at Gracie Mansion last week. In response to persistent rumours that he will run for President of the United States, the New York Times reports Bloomberg took to the stage – backed by senior members of staff playing inflatable musical instruments – wearing a T-shirt, jeans, mullet wig and bandana. Changing the lyrics, the mayor sung: "I know I said this job I'd keep, but [Deputy Mayor Kevin] Sheekey said don't be cheap. Only cost you half a billion, 'cause folks like us, baby, we were born to run." The mayor performed the song under the name Mike Bloomsteen And The Bullpen Band.
