One More TimeDaft Punk
This is the breakout work by duft pank, the French electronic duo known for their full-face masks.

I’m YoursJason Mraz
Jason Mraz may well be the most successful male vocalist of the 2000s.

We Dance.
We Steal Things.” is a tune anyone can hum along to.
The bouncy rhythm feels great.
