Lovely karaoke song

Songs with titles that start with 'de'. Perfect as hints for karaoke or shiritori!

Have you ever played “Shiritori Karaoke,” where you link songs in karaoke using the last letter of the previous song, or “Song Title Shiritori,” where you play using only the song titles?

In karaoke, it’s great when your go-to songs start feeling repetitive, and for regular shiritori, it’s perfect when you want to raise the difficulty.

You’ll end up singing songs you don’t usually pick, and sometimes you can’t think of a title, which really livens things up!

So in this article, to help you out in those moments, I’ll introduce songs with titles that start with “de.”

I hope this helps everyone have a fun time together!
