What are some fun songs to sing karaoke to?
(yiffit.net)
Enter sandman - Metallica
Take on me - a ha
Take on me is a great one! but gotta get the voice really warmed up to have a chance at it
My Way by Frank Sinatra. Fun fact, it's actually banned from multiple karaoke bars in the Philippines due to a string of killings which directly resulted from people performing the song.
Oh! Added danger, me likey.
Back streets back!
My go-to is Kickapoo by Tenacious D. I challenge anyone to start singing that song without slowly channeling Jack Black's mannerisms by the end of it.
The D is so great for singing along. I am not capable to sing belzeboss without that little hand flick Dave does in the movie on: what's the ca-ha-hash?
Isn't that the only way to properly sing The D?
I even memorize the guitar licks just to scat those when JB doesn't.
We Want the Funk - Parliament. It's straightforward, but there is a lower and higher vocal, both of which you can swap between in karaoke.
Be prepared to have the place singing with you.
Tequila!
“Around the World” by Daft Punk. If you can remember the lyrics.
It would actually be funny to see someone drunkenly stumble over the lyrics to that. lol
is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Don't go breaking my heart Anything from Queen or Prince or bon Jovi or acdc. In the end, Whiskey in the jar There's so much good stuff that crowds will sing along to.
Karma chameleon is fire. Pretty much anything by ABBA
A lot of great answers in here. Another one that I've never seen/heard fail to get crowd participation is "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi.
Basically any song that has a really catchy chorus and allows you to sing it whether you're on or off-key is a winner, because karaokes are all about having fun with it.
Big Bottom by Spinal Tap.
...or so I have reeeaaaad
Blondie's version of "The Tide Is High".
Poker face by Lady Gaga! Anything that lets you shamelessly yell to be honest.
-Starlight by Muse is probably in your style with the long held passages, if you’ve got the high range for it.
-Mr. Brightside is always fun, and it’s almost all one note!
-Pretty much anything by the Goo Goo Dolls
-All For You by Sister Hazel
-Learn to Fly by the Foo Fighters
I like a lot of 90s and early 2000s stuff :)
Hell yeah for Starlight. One of my favorites from Muse. I've been told I even sound like Matt.
We got the moves - electric callboy
Presuming you're fine not exactly being good at it, multiple different style singers and switching is hard. Actually maybe jst to sing and not necessarily kareoke
Anything Lion King is always a winner. You can see what's happening and they don't have a clue!
Hakuna Matata... What a wonderful phrase!
Rio - Duran Duran
- Shiny Happy People by REM
- Love Shack by the B52s
- Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond
- Burn Motherfucker Burn by Five Finger Death Punch
Sweet Caroline - Neil diamond
Take me home, country roads - John Denver
These songs always get the crowd really into it!
"The Devil Went Down To Georgia" by The Charlie Daniels Band
I’ve been so tempted to do this, but there are some long stretches without lyrics and it’s a fairly long song too.
But imagine the joy of blasting out in a crowded room:
Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
'cause I told you once you SON OF A BITCH
I'm the best that's ever been!
Lol oh I have! It just hasn’t won out over the gaps and length
Bohemian Rhapsody is always fun.
I will give warning that sometimes its awkward during the Guitar Solo if youre just standing there or not a dancer
Agreed. If the crowd your with is big Wayne’s World fans, it slaps. But I’ve found more often than not, the 20 minute solos kinda kill the momentum. I wish it was better received, as I am a HUGE Queen fan.
I like Long Tall Sally - it's fast and wild!
Anything by Linkin park for me. I would also really like to fuck up a karaoke joint when they let me sing slipknot or drowning pool or something like that. Another great sing along song is radioactive by imagine dragons.
Tequila by The Champs. It's not hard to memorize.
Careless Whisper - Wham!
Well known song with a great chorus that people will groove to.
Gotta say for a duet (male/female) keep feeling fascination by the Human League. It's a fun song, good chorus.
Pretty much anything that let's you belt it out and really yell into the mic.
Most songs from Blink-182 are fun to sing.
+1 to Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, that's a classic.
I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues by Elton John
Either Get Ready to Die or Party Hard by Andrew W.K.
Come to My Window by Melissa Etheridge if you can hit the high notes
Gompie's version of Who the X is Alice? If you have an audience that doesn't mind cursing and might have fun singing along.
My gotos:
- Hall & Oates - Out of Touch
- Billy Ocean - Suddenly
- Lionel Richie - Hello
- Bon Jovi - Livin’ on a Prayer
- All 4 One - I Swear
- Brian McKnight - Back at One
Old school == Best school, IMO
So many people across different demographics get into older songs, regardless of genre. The best songs to sing are ones that you can hit the notes and not put the crowd/your friends to sleep to.
Have fun with it!
As someone who can't sing high notes.
Everything - Michael Buble
Annie's Song
Your Song - Elton John.
Whatever you like to sing. I tend to sing classic rock and metal songs because that’s the music I like and they’re fun to sing. It’s not for everyone, but it is for me.
You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift is always a crowd pleaser
My #1 karaoke song is Rehab by Amy Winehouse
Rape Me - Nirvana, because I can't really sing and I can do the kind of talking singing he does.
Take On Me is THE all time karaoke classic.
