This week, we highlight our go to karaoke songs.

ABEL: SCARY MONSTERS AND NICE SPRITES BY SKRILLEX

YES OH MY GOD

GARY: SOUL TO BLESSED SOUL BY SWAMP DOGG

Crowd pleaser, epic ballad, love song, vocal masterpiece, need I say more…

ASHLYN: FELL ON BLACK DAYS BY SOUNDGARDEN

WHATSOEVER I’VE FEARED HAS COME TO LIFE

AND WHATSOEVER I’VE FOUGHT OFF, BECAME MY LIFE

In a room full of 90s grunge fans, people who are into dad rock, or just a random person who has never heard this song before (hard to believe), everybody is jamming out to this one.

CHLOE: THE JOKER BY STEVE MILLER BAND

I think this song as a go-to karaoke song speaks for itself. It’s easy to sing along to and I feel like it’s a crowd favorite, especially in a karaoke bar full of dad-rock lovers. I don’t need the lyrics for it and it genuinely just goes so hard.

ISAK: CARELESS WHISPER BY GEORGE MICHAEL

It’s a great song that a lot of people know and love. Karaoke songs are meant to have fun with and it’s more fun when people join in. Careless Whisper is a song that is instantly recognizable and everyone can have a good time while I butcher the vocals.

GAVIN: UNDER PRESSURE BY QUEEN AND DAVID BOWIE

When I was in choir in high school, we did this song so many times so I know every beat and second of this song and can kill it in karaoke.

DANIEL: 1985 BY BOWLING FOR SOUP

Bowling For Soup’s 1985 is just such a fun song to sing. It’s got great lyrics, a fun tune, and sounds good being sung by just about anybody. Go sing it right now. Do it. Now.

EVANNE: HEY BABY BY PITBULL

If there are a million Pitbull fans, I am one. If there are 1000 Pitbull fans, I am one. If there are 100 pitbull fans, I am one. If there are 10 Pitbull fans, I am one. If there are 5 Pitbull fans, I am one. If there is one Pitbull fan, it’s me. If there are 0 Pitbull fans, I’m dead.

ZEKE: SUGAR BY MAROON 5

I’ll admit I’m a sucker for catchy, bubblegum pop. Though most people will agree Maroon 5 largely fell off after their first album Songs About Jane, I think Sugar is a great example of their strengths in simple songwriting. Its catchy hook, clear lyrics, and and frequent radio play make it a perfect candidate for karaoke night. 🤠

JUSTIN: TAKE ME OUT BY FRANZ FERDINAND

This song is the perfect amalgamation of early 2000s alternative music. It’s a throwback that is popular enough that people might sing along but will still be a welcome surprise. Plus, you’ll get to show off some of that “vocal range” you’ve been bragging to your friends about.
