[2026] For men in their 50s! A roundup of classic Western songs that get the crowd going at karaoke (61–70)

Rock ‘n’ rollLed Zeppelin

When it comes to signature songs by Led Zeppelin, a hard rock band emblematic of the ’70s, there are many, including Stairway to Heaven, Immigrant Song, and Whole Lotta Love.

But for karaoke, I think Rock and Roll is relatively easier to sing.

It’s basically easy to get into the groove, so just ride the momentum and power through it.

Whatever you do, don’t assume you’ll be able to hit Robert Plant’s high notes.

When a man loves a womanMichael Bolton

When a man loves a womanMichael Bolton

It’s a 1991 hit by American AOR singer Michael Bolton that also won a Grammy.

I think it’s the kind of sophisticated song that people now in their early 50s were listening to in the early ’90s.

It starts in a high key from the very beginning, but since it’s a sweet and wistful ballad, please sing it gently.

Baby, Come BackPlayer

It’s a song released in 1978 by the American band Player, and it even reached No.

1 on the Billboard charts.

(They didn’t have much success afterward, so they’re kind of a one-hit wonder.) I don’t think it’s too difficult to sing at karaoke.

It sounds even cooler if you can harmonize on the chorus.

This is a signature song by the British sexy singer Rod Stewart.

It might be difficult to capture a husky and sexy vocal like Rod Stewart’s, but if you sing with feeling and keep your pitch precise, I think you can sing it beautifully.

Let’s go wildSteppenwolf

It’s a song that became a huge hit as the theme for the film Easy Rider and is very well-known in Japan as well.

(It’s often used as the entrance music when the comedian Sugi-chan appears.) I don’t think it’s a particularly difficult song, so go sing it wildly at karaoke.

“Rosanna” is a song released in 1982 by the American band TOTO, and it became a worldwide hit.

It also won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and is still listened to today as one of TOTO’s signature tracks.

I think it sounds cool if you sing the chorus line “Meet you all the way” with a slightly staccato feel.

Let It BeThe Beatles

A supreme masterpiece representing the Beatles’ final years, a timeless super song that needs no introduction.

The tempo is relaxed, and many people may remember the lyrics, so it’s a very easy song to sing.

Let’s perform it with heartfelt emotion.
