Hilarious: Funny songs. Tracks that kill at karaoke and put a smile on your face.

Kadokawa The Television logoMotegi Yutaka

2015.8.3. “KADOKAWA The Television logo” Yutaka Mogi – JOYSOUND MAX – Sang it in the original key.

There’s only one reason this song kills: it’s the “shortest performance time” song.

The entire performance lasts just four seconds.

That’s right—just shout the famous line, “Zzzap, Terebijooooon!” and you’re done.

If you say something like, “Next up is my signature number!” do a careful vocal warm-up, then belt it out proudly, you’re guaranteed to get laughs.

It’s great even for people who aren’t good at singing.

In fact, its consistently high ranking in popularity charts shows just how reliably it gets laughs.

Just be careful not to overuse it.

N’baba Love SongTOME

Tropical Boy Papuwa-kun OP “N’baba Love Song”

If there are people at karaoke who feel nostalgic about it, they’ll burst out laughing the moment you put it in.

The chorus lyrics are utterly incomprehensible.

No—there’s no need to understand this song in the first place.

It’s a ritual to take you back to childhood and remember the time when meaningless moves and words alone could make you laugh!

The third-year affairHiroshi & Kībō

The third-year affair

It’s definitely a song you’ll want to sing as a couple! It’s a famous old tune that pretty much everyone in their 50s and older knows.

Even now, you can still see customers duetting with the hostess at snack bars.

If the woman sings it playfully, it gives off a charming little-devil vibe and looks great.

When I get home, my wife always pretends to be dead.hobo nichi P

[PV] My Wife Pretends to Be Dead Every Time I Come Home. [Hobonichi-P]

Created as an original song for the film “When I Get Home, My Wife Always Pretends to Be Dead,” this work of the same title is a Vocaloid piece by Hobonichi-P.

The music video is easy to understand whether you’ve seen the movie or not, and amusingly showcases the wife’s pretend-death antics in a brisk sequence.

There are even over-the-top “ways to die” that make you want to blurt out, “No way that could happen!”, so you won’t want to miss a single phrase.

If you try singing it at a company drinking party, it might even make you rethink the wife waiting for you at home!

Nipponponmisoshiru’s

Miso Soup’s “Nipponpon” Guitar Cover

This is a song released in 2013 by Miso Shiru’s, a band that’s essentially an alternate moniker of RADWIMPS.

Its catchy, pop sound is easy to relate to, and the lyrics evoke a sense of Japanese nationalism.

It clearly expresses the feelings of Japanese people who are more “soy sauce” than “sauce,” so to speak.
