David Byrne & Fatboy Slim Feat. Santigold "Please Don't"

[SeriesAreMyFavDrug]

Fatboy Slim and Santigold??? Are you kiding!! :D

[MnNice21]

My mom always talks about how much cleaner the parks were when Marcos was in power. She was disappointed in the state of Luneta Park when we visited a few years back.

The Philippines really needs a leader who is for the people and has long lasting policies. The fact that many Filipinos look back fondly at the times of a opulent dictator's regime shows that change still hasn't come.

[MsMakahiya]

Thanks David for this song about her. Her life story is better than "Cinderella". Cinderella became the princess when the prince married her and that's it, a princess. Imelda, after she married a powerful man, worked hard to give the Filipinos hospitals, parks, housing, education, and many more..Despite the "pangmamata" of the jealous ugly socialites, Imelda emerged far more beautiful inside and outside than a hundred of them combined.

FUCK OFF THE MESSAGE IS WE ARE STILL BEING FUCKED SO LETS STOP IT!

thas one of the ways i interpret it but who cares it's a good song, take from it what you will and stop bickering about your opinion of it for fucks sake, go and debate it someone who could turn your words into action, rather than bitching to provoke a reaction!i!i

[royalnash]

the song is okay it aint no talking heads classic though.

[royalnash]

how would david byrne think of making an album about a woman from the philipines. david byrne is one hell of a character but he is also one of my favorite musicians



[curacho69]

Imelda Marcos has it all, BEAUTY, BRAIN AND POWER. The real model for a Filipino woman. No wonder many hated them, many were envious to their throne.

Churches & Journalists, what more you can say against them, you still cannot TOP them. Both of you only got the power of MOUTH, a misleading MOUTH.

[czahnie]

this looks set to be a great stage show! evita started out as a concept album, and that version is still unsurpassed.

[MsMakahiya]

SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, HAS STYLE AND GRACE.

[rubien44]

IMELDA GREAT SYTLE AND DIPLOMATIC WAYS. A WINNER and have put philippines ON TOP OF ASIA. i love this WHOLE ALBUM. CAN'T WAIT FOR A HUGE STAGE MUSICAL SHOW! HISTORY in the MAKING!

[tpjl25]

Marcos was an asshole.

His wife a whore.

[rubien44]

@tpjl25 without IMELDA'S DIPLOMATIC WAY there would be no end of the COLD WAR and that was one of her greatest contirbution to the nation and to the world. SHE WAS GREAT AND WORLD LEADERS SAW HER WITH GRACE AND a FEARLESS AND SINCERE WOMAN. stylish and presentable that counts.

[OrchidOxycodone]

@rubien44 Imelda ended the cold war?Seriously?That is an interesting perspective I've never heard.Can anyone elaborate on this?

[mufcmob]

just fucking enjoy the music

[neoblitzkrieg17]

wow IMELDA is so stunning...the message is a bit directed to the MARCOSES somewhere in the PHILIPPINES...but to tell THE LATE FERDINAND MARCOS IS the best PRESIDENT ever...he'd done a lot to his country but at the same also one of the worst...

[mshanseat1]

the music is great - but WHY glorifying a dicators wife who r

along with her husband robbed her country of millions...??

[Blueknightex]

@mshanseat1 - they aren't "glorifying" them. The album is about the life of Imelda Marcos starting from when her hushband came to power until they were forced to leave the Philippines for robbing money =D hope that helps clear things up

[mshanseat1]

@Blueknightex All the same - dont you think that by putting her in the spotlight and showing a video of her on state visits in beautiful dresses alone bears the danger of glorifying her ??

[MsMakahiya]

@mshanseat1 WHAT WRONG WITH GLORIFYING SOMEBODY WHO DID LOT OF GOOD THINGS FOR THE FILIPINOS.

[mshanseat1]

@MsMakahiya I think she and her husband exploited their country shamelessly - He was a true dictator !!

[MsMakahiya]

@mshanseat1 That's according to the vindictive, self-righteous,

hypocritical Cory Aquino.

[gotdisconnected]

@MsMakahiya You don't know what you're talking about. You freakin marcos fans are crazy ignorant! Majority of Filipinos were miserable during their reign. They did more DAMAGE than good! Something is terribly wrong with you guys if you think that it is okay to be corrupt - or that it's okay to abuse power. Also, most of the commendable things about Imelda is superficial in nature. Other than the superficial stuff, the good that she supposedly brought upon the Phils are mostly based from opinions

[miamanuelmarizapablo]

@MsMakahiya if weren't for imelda manial and the rest of the country would look crappy.. imagine the philippines without her massive projects.

[ragdaust]

@mshanseat1 billions. worse than this is the people they improsoned, tortured, killed.

[curacho69]

@ragdaust WHO TORTURED WHOM. The killings were done by TERRORISTS like NPA and MILF. Ninoy Aquino supported the terrorists to toppled Marcos.

[gotdisconnected]

[NoJboysAPN0Journey]

[PeteEd79]

Xandura, mightn't hear the voice but the byrne sound is smeared all over the track, can't wait to hear the rest of the album!!

[halfacig]

I have never seen a picture of this women without puffed shoulders. lol

[jfong0]

[bajujo]

[thenameisbond]

very catchy

[xandura]

can't barely hear byrne there, too bad...

[StrongImaginationA]

Oh yes you can, in the beats and the rythm. That's definitely Byrne's influence.

[StrongImaginationA]

Or did you mean his actual voice? :p

If you did, you're right, too bad.

[Pianoman8]

Infectious little number

[iphridian]
