Stromae - Papaoutai (I found out it existed because Pentatonix did a cover of it)

That guy's also got some other interesting songs, with quite a bit of social commentary: carmen, Fils de joie, tous les mêmes, Santé

I suppose it's time to learn French

J'apprends la français depuis trois ans. (Mais pas a cause de la chanson.)

I also really like Alors on Danse from Stromae

That's where I first heard him. I was expecting to find more techno/club music after this one but nope...I was interestingly surprised.

Yeah I like he doesn't bite his tongue on his choices.
