To Be With YouMr. BIG
A four-piece American hard rock band, Mr.
Big—hugely popular in Japan as well—released this ballad as a single from their 1991 album “Lean into It.” It was their biggest hit, topping the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks and reaching number one in more than 15 countries worldwide.
Characterized by simple acoustic guitar strumming and beautiful vocal harmonies, it has an easy, handclap-friendly groove that makes your body move naturally.
The lyrics express a desire to be there for a love that isn’t going well, making it a song often played at weddings and in nostalgic moments.
Known as a group of virtuosos, they deliberately dialed back their technical showmanship here to put the emotion of the song front and center—another key highlight.
It’s a perfect karaoke pick to sing with friends, sure to bring back the heat of your youth.
OneU2
U2, the legendary rock band Ireland is proud of.
With no lineup changes since their formation and a record 22 Grammy wins—the most for any group—their signature song is surely this classic released in March 1992.
Issued as a single from the album Achtung Baby, it topped the charts in Ireland and Canada and reached No.
10 on the U.S.
Billboard chart.
In fact, the song was born while the band was on the brink of breaking up during recording sessions in Berlin.
Sparked by a new chord progression The Edge played, it came together improvisationally and helped the members reaffirm their bond.
It was also featured on the soundtrack of the film The Family Man.
It’s a track that prompts deep reflection on human connections and relationships, making it perfect as background music for reuniting with an old friend.
Beat ItMichael Jackson
A single from Michael Jackson’s smash hit monster album Thriller.
Among his songs, this one has a very rock-like feel, featuring a guitar solo by none other than Eddie Van Halen, with Toto’s Steve Lukather also contributing on guitar—making it an incredibly lavish track.
It’s a number you’ll definitely want to sing with some dance moves.
Two HeartsPhil Collins
A solo hit by Phil Collins, the drummer of the progressive rock band Genesis.
In the music video, a band of four Phil Collinses dressed in Beatles-style outfits makes a striking impression.
While it’s a bright pop number, it also carries a somewhat wistful mood.
If you’re confident in your vocal skills, give it a try!
CenterfoldThe J. Geils Band
An 80s megahit with a memorable intro.
This band originally had a blues-based, strongly R&B-tinged sound, and there was even a time when they were called the “American Rolling Stones.” But as the 80s arrived, the band’s direction shifted, leading to this very wild yet poppy number.
The English lyrics can be a bit tricky to sing, but just cover it with feeling!
Don’t Stop Me NowQueen
Queen has so many karaoke-friendly songs that I had a hard time choosing, but I decided to go with this one that everyone knows from the commercials! It’s upbeat and really gets the crowd going.
It’s from 1978, so it should hit the sweet spot for people in their 50s right now, don’t you think?
SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire
For those from the disco generation, this classic is incredibly nostalgic—just hearing it will lift your spirits, and some might even start dancing.
As the title suggests, it’s one you’ll definitely want to sing in September, though the vibe feels more like spring or summer.
If you can handle both Maurice White’s low vocals and Philip Bailey’s high vocals by yourself, you’re a hero! If not, split the parts among two or more people and sing together!
