I would like to know the name of the song, and the artist of the song
which is played in a scene in Oceans 12.  The song I am talking about
is in the scene  when the night fox is dancing through the blue lazers
in the great hall of the museum in Rome.

Hello.

From a message on the Internet Movie Database:

"'Laser Room' song...
It is called "The a La Menthe" and is by Nikkfurie from french hip-hop
group La Caution."

By the way, the song is not on the official soundtrack mentioned in
the comment below.
