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!
Uptown GirlBilly Joel
This song is memorable for its music video, where Billy Joel and others, dressed as auto mechanics, look like they’re having a great time.
The beautiful woman who appears in the video later married Billy Joel (and later divorced).
The song has a very upbeat pop feel and features a melody line that’s easy to sing at karaoke.

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?
Take On Mea-ha
This song, famous for its music video that used animation—a hallmark of the MTV era—was released in 1985 by the Norwegian band a-ha and became a worldwide hit.
It’s a classic that has been covered by numerous musicians and is widely known, so it should be easy to sing at karaoke.
We Will Rock YouQueen
Included on their sixth album, News of the World, “We Will Rock You” is known as one of Queen’s signature songs.
Created so the audience could take part, its ensemble of just handclaps and foot stomps is simple yet tremendously impactful.
With its narrow vocal range and minimal dynamics, it’s perfect as an entry point to Western pop music.
It’s a massive hit that, when sung at karaoke, is sure to get everyone joining in for a rousing sing-along.
Eye Of The TigerSurvivor
This number is famous as the theme song of the movie Rocky III and as the entrance music for pro wrestler Hulk Hogan.
The distorted, choppy guitar riff in the intro really gets your adrenaline pumping.
It makes you want to start shadowboxing! Just singing it feels like it could make you stronger.
Everybody Wants To Rule The WorldTears for Fears
A hit song by the British band Tears for Fears.
Although the lyrics are anti-nuclear, the music has a sweeping feel that makes you want to listen to it while driving through nature.
It’s a song you’ll want to sing with a touch of melancholy.
