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.

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.

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.

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?

SpaceToast,

Back streets back!

“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

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

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.

BlackKong,

Karma chameleon is fire. Pretty much anything by ABBA

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!

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.

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.
