My Top Ten Favorite Karaoke Songs

Top Ten {Tuesday} 
I am in need of a little levity today, so somehow (I have no idea how) it occurred to me to share with you my favorite karaoke songs.  Because who doesn’t love karaoke?  Ok so I don’t actually participate in it very often.  I can be a big chicken like that.  For the record, I’m far more likely to sing when with a group of close girlfriends. There might be a margarita involved too. 

So here are some really fun songs that are perfect for karaoke.

1. It’s the End of the World As We Know It – REM.  We happen to have Karaoke Revolution for Playstation with this song on it, so I kick butt at knowing every lyric.

2. When God Fearin’ Women Get the Blues – Martina McBride. As evidenced by this photo my friend Dawn took of me in which the flash did not fire because a bartender once spilled beer on my camera and even after I cleaned it all up the popup flash would stick.  But that’s another story. 

3. Love Shack – B-52s.  I distinctly remember them playing this at my wedding and all kinds of unexpected people started dancing.  Like maybe even JoLynne and Megan 🙂

4. I Love Rock and Roll – Joan Jett. Cuz I do.

5. Piano Man – Billy Joel.  Who doesn’t know every word to this song?

6. Wannabe – Spice Girls.  Instant flashback.

7. Man, I Feel Like a Woman- Shania Twain. Shania is the best.  Seriously.

8. My Humps – Black Eyed Peas. Ok so I wouldn’t actually sing this, but I laughed hysterically when my friend Kimber did.

9. Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond.  We taught Nathan to sing this when he was two.  I wish I had that on video.

10. Livin’ on a Prayer – Bon Jovi. I’m a child of the 80’s and a Penn State fan. So it’s a given!

Have you ever sang karaoke?  What’s your favorite song?

  1. Well, not my favorite, but the most amusing I’ve ever witnessed was an entire Roller Derby team belting out Fat Bottomed Girls.

  3. I’ve sung before but I don’t know many of the songs and I get so chicken! I learned something new about you:)

  5. Great list! I am one of the few who probably doesn’t know every word to “Piano Man.” My best performance was probably “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” but I was younger then….:)

  17. I LOVE singing, and I don’t even require liquid courage for it..lol. However the most hilarious karaoke I’ve ever seen was when I was in tech school for the military. A big bunch of really buff Security Forces (military cops) decided to give a rousing performance of “Don’t Cha” followed by “What A Girl Wants”.

    (Okay my word verification was fockers….that’s funny!)

  19. I do love a good Karaoke party with close friends. But, I love to watch them look like goofs, more than I like to do it. Ha!
    The funniest is when there is a dirty line in the song that the singer didn’t know about until they are reading the words come across the screen. SO funny! That happened to a friend singing Summer Nights from Grease. And, another friend sining , Down by the Banks of the Chattahoochee.
