Karaoke Songs in Western Music That Get Men in Their 40s Fired Up (91–100)

For any man in his 40s who knows Western music, it’s inevitable that he’s gone through the leading band of the alternative/grunge scene, Nirvana, and their world-famous album Nevermind.

The first track has to be Smells Like Teen Spirit.

It gets you fired up right from the intro riff (though it’s a bit hard to keep the groove in the middle).

Take On Mea-ha

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.

Live your own life, not someone else’s—live it to the fullest! The American rock band’s classic “It’s My Life” inspires that feeling.

At karaoke, it might look cool to sing it in a rock style while imitating the husky tone of the vocalist.

Love of the heartStevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder – I Just Called To Say I Love You (Live in London, 1995)

It’s one of Stevie Wonder’s signature songs—the moment you hear the phrase “Ajusco—tuse—I love you,” everyone recognizes it.

I don’t think it’s that difficult for karaoke, so sing it carefully.

Since it’s a calm song, performing it at a moment when people want to listen quietly can really get the crowd going.

(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With YouUB40

UB40 – (I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You (Remastered 2002)
(I Can't Help) Falling In Love With YouUB40

The original song is Elvis Presley’s 1961 “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” which was covered by the British reggae group UB40 in 1993.

It was a huge hit in the United States and in Japan, and I remember it being played constantly on the radio at the time.
