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.

ptolemai,

is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

SpaceToast,

Back streets back!

razdonovich,

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.

Localnative13,

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.

AssA,

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?

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.

Blondie’s version of “The Tide Is High”.

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.

It would actually be funny to see someone drunkenly stumble over the lyrics to that. lol

AllBlue22,

Tequila!

albedosaur,

Sweet Caroline - Neil diamond

Take me home, country roads - John Denver

These songs always get the crowd really into it!

BlackKong,

Karma chameleon is fire. Pretty much anything by ABBA

RisingSwell,

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

Today,

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.
