They were singing more to Steve than to Michael so it's possible that Steve acted for the Office for 9,986,000 minutes.

The directors confirmed that Steve didn't have the song in the script, and they decided for it to be "Guten prank number 1" and you can tell it wasn't specifically for the show since both Angela and Stanley were smiling in the background, breaking character, because a few seconds later when the camera switches back, Angela just looks upset and reluctant. Another thing is, Steve starts to cry halfway through.

one last thing, look at B.J and Ed's faces when you watch it again when Will starts singing, Ed looks horrified at the high pitch and even stops smiling and his eyes widen, Bj gives him the death stare. Since they're both standing in the front of the room, and Andy's singing a bit more than everyone else, I'm assuming it was their idea since no one else really reacted to the horrifying singing.
