David Byrne has, once again, updated his colorful website with new streaming music off his latest collaborative project with Fatboy Slim, a concept album about the life of the first Lady of the Phillipines, Imelda Marcos.

On this latest track, the duo recruited vocal powerhouse Sharon Jones to portray Lady Marcos in the telling of the story when “Imelda takes her first trip abroad as first lady and has a great time. She hangs out with celebrities, socialites, and old East Coast money,” as Byrne puts it. You can listen to “Dancing Together” after the jump:
