Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe

A song originally created as a folk tune was rearranged in a pop style and became a massive worldwide hit.

Characterized by Carly Rae Jepsen’s catchy melody and relatable lyrics, it expresses the excitement and uncertainty at the start of a romance.

Released in 2012, it spent nine consecutive weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard charts.

Queen – We Will Rock You (Official Video)

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.

Kool & The Gang – Celebration

It’s a slightly old song, but it’s quite famous and I think most Japanese people know it.

There are plenty of chances to shout call-and-response lines for the singer, so if you do it at karaoke, it becomes a song everyone can enjoy together.

Since it’s a celebratory song, it’s perfect as a birthday song.

It’s a song everyone knows from commercials and morning shows—one you can’t help but hum along to.

I highly recommend it for anyone about to welcome a new year in their life.

Do They Know It’s Christmas?Band Aid

Band Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas? (Official Video) [4K]

It was recorded in November 1984 as a charity single for famine relief in Ethiopia and released the following month on December 3.

It spent five weeks at number one on the UK charts, selling over one million copies in its first week alone—an astonishing achievement.

Because the song carries a strong message, it’s worth taking the time to understand the lyrics rather than just singing it for the vibe.

It’s great fun to sing in harmony with a few people, of course, but it’s also satisfying to sing solo since there are parts you can really belt out.

Each singer in the original has their own distinctive style, but don’t worry too much about that—singing in your own voice is best! Place a hand on your chest and try singing while resonating your voice.
