Apparently, Imelda Marcos loved disco. The former first lady of the Philippines even had a disco ball in her New York townhouse. So leave it to the ex-Talking Head and the sometime Norman Cook to turn the "Iron Butterfly's" story into a concept album. The album features 22 guest vocalists, including Tori Amos, Cyndi Lauper, the B-52s' Kate Pierson, and Natalie Merchant, who all play the part of Marcos and her servant Estrella Cumpas. It's the most fun you'll have on the dance floor singing about an exiled, corrupt leader. Who said politics wasn't fun?
