Republican presidential contender John McCain has defended his decision to sing a song with the lyrics of "bomb Iran".
The senator caused controversy while campaigning in South Carolina when he was asked how the US should deal with the Iranian regime.
Singing to the melody of the Beach Boys song "Barbara Ann", he joked: "That old, eh, that old Beach Boys song, Bomb Iran."
He then added: "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb ... anyway, ah ..."
The audience responded with laughter.
"Please, I was talking to some of my old veterans friends," he said.
"My response is, Lighten up and get a life."
The US, the West and Iran are engaged in a nuclear stand-off.
The West is insisting Iran stop enriching uranium - Tehran says it wants nuclear power for domestic energy purposes.
