What are some fun songs to sing karaoke to?

I’ve seen lists of songs with deep lyrics, songs that are upbeat but depressing at the same time, songs not on the radio, and other things like that… But I have never seen a list of songs that are just super fun to sing.

Some examples of things I like singing are Lewis Capaldi, anything by Chris Cornell (though I wish I could have that awesome gutteral/growly sound in my voice), Cottonmouth, Nirvana, RHCP, Tool, etc. I love long sustains and just dudes and dudettes belting out staccato. The feeling of matching pitch and tone you get in your stomach and lungs as the sounds reverberate together is exhilarating. Not to mention the catharsis of putting your heart and soul into singing along with an angry song when you’re pissed.

Take On Me is THE all time karaoke classic.

ABCDE,

Rape Me - Nirvana, because I can’t really sing and I can do the kind of talking singing he does.

CarlsIII,

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.

counselwolf,

As someone who can’t sing high notes.

Everything - Michael Buble

Annie’s Song

Your Song - Elton John.

SayJess,

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!

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!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Gotta say for a duet (male/female) keep feeling fascination by the Human League. It’s a fun song, good chorus.

MementoMori,

Careless Whisper - Wham!

Well known song with a great chorus that people will groove to.

AmidFuror,

Tequila by The Champs. It's not hard to memorize.

Jaywarbs,

-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.

AssA,

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.

HipPriest,

I like Long Tall Sally - it's fast and wild!

Poker face by Lady Gaga! Anything that lets you shamelessly yell to be honest.

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.
