If anyone needs a song for the events therein, click the spoiler.

[spoiler:e46e71456a]'Here Lies Love.' (apologies if it's too soon!)

Song from concept album “Here Lies Love” by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim. Vocals by Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine)

Youtube (I'll put the MP3 up for anyone who's interested in doing it.)

You could easily twist the first verse into something tongue-in-cheek about how 'poor' Sun is. The rest of it is dead-on in my book. And yes, the song is written from the point of view of Imelda Marcos.

Lyrics:
When I was a young girl in Leyte
My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scrubs
I’d see the people smile, and I would sing for them
How happy they all seemed when I would dance

We lived a stone’s throw from the palace
A simple country girl who had a dream
Ladies passing by of better class than I
How much it meant to me
To be like these

Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care?
I’d do it all for you
How can it be unfair?
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say, “Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love."

The most important things are love and beauty
It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor
To prosper and to fly
A basic human right
The feeling in your heart that you’re secure

Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care?
I’d do it all for you
How can it be unfair?
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say, “Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love."[/spoiler:e46e71456a]

Sun's a rich girl though

Read closer. I put in a note about the sarcasm of that part--if done with an eye towards sarcasm for that, the first verse could still work. (It's got the 'dance' bit per Glass Ballerina, too, anyway.)
