Say It Ain't So - Weezer
Don't Let Me Down - The Beatles
Are You Gonna Be My Girl - Jet
Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own/Beautiful Day/Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
Patio Lanterns - Kim Mitchell
Every Sperm is Sacred - Monty Python
Mama Tried - Merle Haggard
Anything from Marty Robbins' Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs when I can get away with it.
You Oughta Know - Alanis Morrisette (and it's a mistake every time)

Big on my maybe list:
Earache My Eye - Cheech and Chong. Aka as a straight cis guy, the only thing that would get me to perform in drag (preferably good drag, with help from people who know what they're doing)

Puppy Love/Put Your Head on My Shoulder - Paul Anka (been on a Paul Anka kick recently, and one of the karaoke spots I like is really close to where the restaurant his parents ran eons ago was)

I'm a Gun - Lorne Green (similar reasons as Paul Anka)

Brandy by Looking Glass

[–] EonNShadow@pawb.social 3 points 4 days ago

We don't have to dance - Andy Black

Lesser known song, but right in my range. It has an ironic message as long as you're clearly having a good time at the function.

If you really want one that gets everyone in the room singing:

I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Fly me to the moon - Frank Sinatra

[–] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago

I tend to go with My Way because I keep messing up the timing on Fly Me To The Moon. Most of my exposure to it was the Evangelion version so I try to match that and slip up.

[–] msokiovt@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago

I also do that one.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Under the bridge- Chili peppers

Jeremy - Pearl Jam

I will survive - Cake

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

4'33" by John Cage

Preferably with me as far from the stage as possible. In fact, I'm staying home. Enjoy.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Beautiful song

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Nutshell by Alice in Chains

[–] Dadbod89@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I have several, depends on the crowd.

Careless Whisper -George Michael, This Love -Maroon 5, Drops of Jupiter - Train, Someone Like You -Adele

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 5 days ago

with or without a crappy midi version of sirius leading up to it?

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

Burma shave by tom waits

[–] etherphon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Erasure - Respect

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I'll do a lot, but I'll often start with Wagon Wheel, because it gets people singing along, and once they're singing, they're signing up to sing.

Sometimes people need encouragement.

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago

I've done karaoke once, and the song I chose was Blink-182 - All the small things.

So, I guess that's my go-to song.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

On The Turning Away - Pink Floyd.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Easy by the Commadores

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

Biz Markie - Just a friend

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

The Tubes - Talk to ya Later

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

Baka Mitai and Love in Kamurocho.

[–] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 3 points 5 days ago

C.W. McCall - Convoy (the song the movie was based on).

I don't go to karaoke bars.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip -2 points 4 days ago

Karaoke is like Dick Pics.

Never do it.
