ABC News’ “World News Now” celebrated Diana Perez’s first full week behind the anchor desk with a special “World News Polka” — changed to “Perez Polka” for her honor.

The unique lyrics, written and performed by Barry Mitchell (of course) also included an appearance by the Hofstra University’s cheerleading team (Perez is a graduate of the Long Island college).
