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.

    Sweet Caroline - Neil diamond

    Take me home, country roads - John Denver

    These songs always get the crowd really into it!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    -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 :)

    Careless Whisper - Wham!

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