The G20 summit. A time for the leaders of the world’s biggest economies to meet up and discuss the fate of the world.

It’s also a time when the leaders are forced to smile, or grimace, as they shake hands with each other while the press snap photos. Take Donald Trump and Angela Merkel, for example. These two produced some wonderful photos which looked slightly like they were singing to each other.

If they were in a karaoke bar winding down from a busy day at the G20, this classic George and Ira Gershwin song would be a contender.
