Karaoke songs

First of all, my disclaimer. I have never participated in karaoke; I keep my vocals at home. However, if I were to take the plunge, I'd like to have a crack at Bridge Over Troubled Water, Vincent and Don't Know Much - I'd need a duet partner for the latter. But these are all such well-known songs so it would be very brave of me to tackle them and not risk a humiliating balls-up. What song or songs would you be brave enough to 'perform' ?

Any of Madonna's early songs: I haven't got a great vocal range,like Madonna herself, but can belt out True Blue or Borderline quite well

Some songs are utterly off limits, e.g. My Way. It's the pub singer finale.

I'd love to have a go at ' that's life'
( will be my funeral song too)

I think That's Life might be a bit too Vegas for me. I remember Cannon and Ball performing it in their live shows.

Black Betty by Ram Jam would be a nice raucous one to get into.

Mine is Whole Again - Atomic Kitten.

I do not have a decent voice and I (blindly) think most people could somehow get away with this one.

Crackling Rosie is my usual go to, but since having an Alexa karaoke session, my new favourite is ' Indiana wants me' by R Dean Taylor. Great, especially the last bit, 'This is the police, give yourself up' over and over again, through a megaphone over the tune.

9 to 5
Eternal Flame
Jolene

Loads actually, plus some group numbers! I once had a very funny night out at a karaoke place with a group of work mates, it was great fun. Me and a colleague did most of the song selection to cover all tastes and abilities.

I Will Survive is actually very easy.

Let It Go is impressive if you can actually sing and know the song very well.

Don't try and do anything sung by a man if you are a woman.
