You knew it wouldn’t stay a secret until Tuesday night’s inaugural balls in Washington.

But yesterday there President-elect Barack Obama told reporters he had involved himself in only one inauguration activity.

Now we know what that was: He ordered up the first song that the new first couple will dance to at the big day’s Top 10 biggest balls.

Today Beyonce, who will sing the Etta James classic that night, announced it’ll be ‘At Last.’ Video below in case you don’t remember.

Now if only we can keep Michelle from finding out for four days.
