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!
Blondie’s version of “The Tide Is High”.
Enter sandman - Metallica
Take on me - a ha
Take on me is a great one! but gotta get the voice really warmed up to have a chance at it
“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
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.
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.
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?
Back streets back!
is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
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.
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.
Oh! Added danger, me likey.
I like Long Tall Sally - it’s fast and wild!
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.
- Shiny Happy People by REM
- Love Shack by the B52s
- Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond
- Burn Motherfucker Burn by Five Finger Death Punch
-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 :)
Tequila by The Champs. It’s not hard to memorize.
Careless Whisper - Wham!
Well known song with a great chorus that people will groove to.
