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.

spuddaddy,

Bohemian Rhapsody is always fun.

StableStackOfBricks,

I will give warning that sometimes its awkward during the Guitar Solo if youre just standing there or not a dancer

SayJess,

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.

"The Devil Went Down To Georgia" by The Charlie Daniels Band

grady77,

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!

grady77,

Lol oh I have! It just hasn’t won out over the gaps and length

RHOPKINS13,

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.

grady77,

As a male, Mean by Taylor Swift never fails to get everyone in the crowd up and dancing. That and all the small things by blink 182!

How about Tenacious D's fuck her gently?

I pulled that off at an impromptu outdoor karaoke event and I had 55-year-old men running up to the screen to check and make sure I wasn't just making up the lyrics as I went.

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.

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

HipPriest,

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

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.

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.

AmidFuror,

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

MementoMori,

Careless Whisper - Wham!

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

ChamrsDeluxe,

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

galloog1,

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!
