"“Disco Clone,” Cristina's first single, was a gorgeously orchestrated satire of the discotheque as meat market, featuring a cameo performance from Kevin Kline (then a Broadway star) as a polyester-clad Lothario."--Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984 (2006) by Simon Reynolds

"Disco Clone" is the debut by the American singer Cristina, an eccentric pastiche disco record written by Ronald Melrose, a classmate of Cristina at Harvard.

The original recording, released as ZE001 in 1978, was produced by John Cale and was the first to be issued on ZE Records. A later version featured the uncredited Kevin Kline trying to seduce Cristina, replacing Anthony Haden-Guest on the original record.

"Disco Clone" was a cult success and encouraged ZE to release a full-length album in 1980.
