Karaoke isn’t the sexiest past times we can think off and unfortunately, too many people think they sound like the next Mariah Carey when they get the microphone in hand after a few (too many!) drinks. Nevertheless, karaoke is a fun thing to do, especially if you pick a song you can actually manage!

So next time you are having a karaoke night with friends, impress them with the following ten sure-fire tunes you’ll rock!

1. Love Shack by B-52

Who could fail with this fantastic old classic that pairs a beautiful female voice with a talking dude? A perfect party song you can do even if your sense of rhythm isn’t the most well known among your friends.

2. Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus

If you are after something a bit more contemporary, then Wheatus’ ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ is a great pick. The lyrics are fun, the tempo is slow enough and the tone is perfectly adaptable.

A karaoke song that doesn’t take itself too seriously!

3. 500 Miles by the Proclaimers

You can’t go wrong with the classic ‘500 Miles’, which in all honestly is more of a musical poem than a tough song for vocal acrobats. It’s also perfect for all moments from hen nights to breakup parties and it will definitely get the crowd going!

4. Like a Prayer by Madonna

Only the Queen of Pop can pull off a sexy song at the church, but you should definitely try to see if you can add a bit of that lust to your next karaoke night. ‘Like a Prayer’ is definitely one of those songs that we all know – whether we admit to it or not – so group singing will follow!

5.Hey Ya by Outkast

This upbeat tune is perfect pick for party nights. It’s something a bit different and you can always bury those occasional wrong notes under some ‘polaroid shaking’.

6. Buddy Holly by Weezer

‘Buddy Holly’ is a classic song too few people do on karaoke nights and you should definitely change this injustice. Sing it, even if only for the moment when you can make funny noises and go ‘oo-ee-oo’!

7.Bitch by Meredith Brooks

What is better for karaoke than a song that doesn’t care what you think? ‘Bitch’ is a good pick, as you’ll most likely know all the words by heart and the tune is slow enough to follow even if you don’t have a clue!

8. Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

The classic American songs singing about the struggles of the blue-collar worker have that special karaoke spice to them. You simply cannot mess them up and they add a bit of longing feeling to your night.

This Springsteen song is definitely a hit you don’t want to skip.

9. Drop It Like It’s Hot by Snoop Dogg

Are you adventurous enough to try a bit of rap? Then go with this Snoop Dogg classic. Not only is it a hot tune to sing, it isn’t as fast as some rap songs – meaning you might just have a chance to get some of it right.

10.Killing Me Softly by the Fugees

Most ballads are tough to get right in karaoke unless you got the skills of Whitney Houston or Celine Dion. Although this Fugees classic is by no means an easy song to master, it is much safer choice if you want to slow down the tempo of the night.

Give the songs above a few practice sessions and impress your friends with some cool skills next time!
