I really enjoy singing Jar of Hearts. I choose that. A duet with my wonderful soon to be 20 year old ds if allowed?

DianaBarry5 · 14/11/2022 21:12

Young hearts run free...

Chumba wumba
Hey now you're an all star

No singing really required!

ReluctantCourier · 14/11/2022 21:58

Anything by Whitney. I really can’t sing at all but ghogh and I won’t get asked twice

Sparklingbrook · 14/11/2022 22:02

Could have been Me - The Struts
Go West-Pet Shop Boys
Monkey Wrench-Foo Fighters

But I’m not a natural singer so much alcohol would have to be consumed first.

DialSquare · 14/11/2022 22:02

Be My Baby - The Ronettes

Dontaskdontget · 14/11/2022 22:04

Nothing too serious/vulnerable.

Maybe Working 9to5? Although not a good idea if this is a works social 🤣

Stand by your man is quite easy to sing

Tribute by tenacious D

Oh respect to you, that’s superb.

Mine’s Spider-Man to the tune of Bring Him Home. Obviously.

All the songs! Love karaoke 🤘🎤🎵

ODFOx · 14/11/2022 22:32

DH and I do an awesome version of 'Bring me to Life' by Evanescence once he's had a beer!
Also Love Shack by The B52s, except 'tin roof rusted' is outside my range 😀.

AnyFucker · 14/11/2022 22:40

Love Is A Losing Game

Easy to sing and a nice depressing one 😊

YMCA, the village people. Everyone knows it so can't help singing along loudly, making my job easier. I just do the arm movements so the mic is nowhere near my mouth Grin

singleone · 14/11/2022 22:51

Gold digger - Kanye west 😬

Thats my in car karaoke and I ace it every single time 😂

The Way we Were , murdering all the high notes - my dog won’t even stay in the kitchen when I sing it with my home hub ! .

Monkeytennis97 · 14/11/2022 23:19

I wanna dance with somebody Whitney Houston... my go to karaoke piece.

Usou · 14/11/2022 23:28

Beatles songs are good and easy - everybody knows them and popular with a wide range of ages.

Not George Michael. It'll take you about 15 seconds to find out how talented and how great his vocal range was.

elp30 · 14/11/2022 23:29

I would do songs with no singing because I can't carry a tune.
I'd choose:

"Jilted John" by Jilted John
"The Overload" by Yard Act
"I Will Survive" by Cake
"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by Devo.

I grew up hating singing on karaoke within a family of avid karaoke-ers... I sung Christina aguilerra I turn to you at a works night out as an adult and was told it was amazing (it wasn't my colleagues were totally pie-eyed! ) but it broke my hate and now I'll sing anything 😂

My faves are

Fleetwood Mac Dreams
Adele to make you feel my love
Britney Spears Anytime
Birdy Wings
