Haven’t been getting much sleep lately? If that’s you, why not try learning “Counting Stars,” a stylish, rock-tinged track by OneRepublic.

With its bit of a shouty edge, this song demands solid vocal skills, but it’s a great pick for those who love a challenge.

Although it’s a song by a female artist, it can be fun when sung by a man and might even work as a little cheer-up song.

Why not learn Taylor Swift’s smash hit “Shake It Off” and have a great time singing it at karaoke? It could also be fun to sing it as a group.

The lyrics have lots of repetition, so they should be easy to remember.

The moment that incredibly famous intro rings out, it’s an absolute classic that gets you pumped up—even if you weren’t around to experience it in real time! Many people surely remember its innovative music video from the MTV-dominated 1980s, which went on to influence later generations.

As mentioned, “Take On Me,” one of the signature songs by Norway’s proud trio a-ha, is such a massive hit that everyone’s heard it at least once, so it’s guaranteed to liven up any karaoke session.

It’s tough to replicate Morten Harket’s beautiful high notes, but try adjusting the key and give it a shot!

Released in September 1991, this track is a historic number that ignited the grunge movement on a global scale.

Its quiet-verse-to-explosive-chorus “quiet–loud” structure shocked the music scene at the time.

Lead singer Kurt Cobain said he set out to “write the ultimate pop song,” and the simple yet powerful guitar riff and lyrics portraying youthful apathy and alienation resonated with countless listeners.

It won two awards at the MTV Video Music Awards and peaked at No.

6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With an instantly recognizable intro and a chorus that makes you want to shout, it’s a karaoke staple that unites the entire room.
