[40s] Western Songs That Hype Up Karaoke [2026] (1–10)
I Want It That WayBackstreet Boys1rank/position
The Backstreet Boys, who were American pop idols, were a superstar boy group active during the youth of today’s forty-something generation.
Their signature track—and one of the defining pop songs of the 1990s—is “I Want It That Way.”
It’s My LifeBon Jovi2rank/position
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 is like a sighBerlin3rank/position
It’s a 1986 work by Berlin, a three-member American band consisting of two men and one woman.
The song was used as an insert song in the Tom Cruise–starring film Top Gun and, along with Kenny Loggins’ theme song “Danger Zone,” became a worldwide hit.
Forbidden LoveBon Jovi4rank/position
Among the Bon Jovi songs people in their 40s used to listen to, I think this is the one that gets everyone most hyped.
If you mention Tsubaki Oniyako’s song, younger people might recognize it—that song.
From the opening shout of “Shot through the heart,” it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.
Broken WingsMr. Mister5rank/position
Included on the 1985 album “Welcome to the Real World.” A four-piece rock band from Arizona formed in 1982.
A mid-tempo track where the quietly progressing, ear-catching bass tone and a mellow, wistful melody line set the stage for vocals that truly resonate with the heart.
