Naatu NaatuNTR, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Olivia Morris, Samuthirakani, Alison Doody, Ray Stevenson
This work is characterized by its powerful rhythm and captivating dance number.
The lyrics, which depict young people gathering to dance along with the sounds of traditional instruments, leave a strong impression.
Released as part of the soundtrack for the 2022 film RRR, it won Best Original Song at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes in 2023, creating a global sensation.
The dynamic performances by NTR and Ram Charan are also highlights.
With its catchy beat that makes your body move instinctively, it’s an addictive track—perfect for festivals, school fairs, and any scene where everyone wants to get pumped up!
ChandelierSia
How about Sia’s “Chandelier,” which became famous in Japan thanks to a commercial? Many people might not recognize the intro, but once the chorus hits, they’ll definitely go, “Oh, this one!” Its catchy and straightforward structure makes it perfect as background music for stage performances or for karaoke competitions.
Give it a try!
CrazyAerosmith
Even a ballad can get the crowd fired up if you sing it well.
And if you’re going to do one, I think a rock band’s ballad is great because it gives the instrumental members a chance to shine.
Lots of people know Aerosmith, so the audience would be thrilled, too.
LoserBeck
Even if it’s a school festival live show, not everyone will be in a band.
There are probably singer-songwriter types who perform solo as well.
In that case, someone like Beck would be a good recommendation.
He has a unique talent and can sing with just an acoustic guitar, so covering his songs should be relatively easy.
ThroneBring Me The Horizon
Bring Me the Horizon, a hugely popular young rock band that the UK is proud of.
Not only for their music but also for their fashion, they’re a charismatic presence across North America and Europe.
This is one of their signature tracks.
The distinctive programmed intro makes it harder to cover, but if you pull it off, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going!
Finesse feat. Cardi B(Remix)Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars is an artist who has received extremely high acclaim from critics around the world.
He initially focused on pop, then shifted to rock ’n’ roll, and today he’s active with a sound rooted in disco and soul music.
His track “Finesse feat.
Cardi B (Remix)” is known as one of his signature songs, blending a 1990s-style disco and R&B vibe and becoming a global hit.
With the popular rapper Cardi B featured, it’s sure to get everyone hyped if you play it at a school festival or cultural event!
Break My HeartDua Lipa
Dua Lipa, a UK-born artist who also thrives as a fashion model, has been topping charts around the world and enjoys immense popularity in Japan.
One of her best-known mega-hit songs is Break My Heart.
While many of her tracks incorporate elements of house music, this one takes on a uniquely disco-pop finish.
It’s the kind of dance track that’s sure to hype up a school festival or cultural fair!
