Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from DNCE:

Cake By The Ocean

Length: 3:39

Release: 2015

Opening Lyrics:

Nah, nah, yeah
(Cake by the ocean)
Oh, no
See you walkin’ ’round like it’s a funeral
Not so serious, girl, why those feet cold?
We just gettin’ started, don’t you tiptoe, tiptoe (ah)
Waste time with a masterpiece, don’t waste time with a masterpiece (huh)
You should be rollin’ with me, you should be rollin’ with me (ah-ah-ah)
You’re a real-life fantasy, you’re a real-life fantasy (huh)
But you’re movin’ so carefully, let’s start livin’ dangerously
Talk to me, baby
I’m goin’ blind from this sweet-sweet cravin’, whoa-oh
Let’s lose our minds and go fuckin’ crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin’ we’ll eat cake by the ocean (uh)
Walk for me, baby
I’ll be Diddy, you’ll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let’s lose our minds and go fuckin’ crazy
