Karaoke emergency, save me!

Please help me choose a (really easy) song, I can't get out of it!
Have always hated karaoke, I dont have a strong voice and just can't hit the notes. Can hold a tune (mostly) but I have a really low voice, comfortable range is the C below middleC to the C above (am female!)
Don't even sing along to much, occasionally Fiona Apple but need to think of songs that the karaoke place will actually have.
Any suggestions welcome.

I always do Daydream Believer because it's easy and everyone joins in and doesn't listen to me

Pretend you’ve lost your voice, sit back and enjoy watching everyone else make tits of themselves 👍🏻

No question, it's got to be "Wild Thing". No real singing involved & it's perfect for a bit of struttin' if you can pull that kind of thing off. I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket but adore karaoke. My 1st song is "Rehab" then if my public demands an encore I give them my "Wild Thing". Used to go to local gay bar nights & they absolutely loved me, some incredible singers there who used to dance for me at the front of the stage, we became great friends. I think I cemented my place in their heart after they asked me once which key I wanted to do a song in & I told them all of them, I just throw the lot in. Humour & genuinely having enjoyment over the night goes a long way. Best of luck.

It’s gotta be ‘Copacabana’...by the magical Barry Manilow. You can be silly dramatic and everyone will sing along!

Has to be this

Some carpenters songs are easier than they seem and they should be in your range - download a backing track from iTunes and have a go. Rainy days and Monday might be a good one. Good luck!
