Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello – Señorita

A song I recommend when going to karaoke with a man and a woman is Señorita.

It’s by Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes, and the two started dating because of this track.

Fitting that background, the song has a very passionate feel.

Since it’s a duet, I think it will be a big hit if a man and a woman sing it together.

However, your partner may not always be able to carry it through.

While it might seem difficult, it’s surprisingly manageable to sing solo as well, so give it a try.

Guns N’ Roses – Sweet Child O’ Mine (Official Music Video)

Many people in their 50s today were surely inspired by Guns to aim to be singers or pick up a guitar.

Their historic, classic debut album, Appetite for Destruction, released in 1987, is full of great songs, but the masterpiece Sweet Child O’ Mine—known for topping the Billboard chart and later being covered by Sheryl Crow, who won a Grammy for it—is a staple of karaoke.

Its melody is easy to remember, and Axl Rose’s signature high-pitched shouts aren’t as intense as in some of their other tracks, so it seems relatively singable.

By the way, Slash’s intro riff is now the stuff of legend, but it’s funny that he himself didn’t consider it all that serious at the time.
