4 Non Blondes – What’s Up (Official Music Video)
What's Up?4 Non Blondes

A simple and beautiful track that conveys a message about human connection.

It was released in 1993 by the American rock group 4 Non Blondes.

It reached No.

1 on charts around the world and has been featured in films such as Young Adult.

Hotline BlingDrake79rank/position

When it comes to songs you heard everywhere in 2015, this one is a must: “Hotline Bling” by Canadian rapper Drake.

This video spawned all kinds of memes.

It’s guaranteed to be a hit when a guy sings it to a girl at karaoke.

Make sure to copy Drake’s moves, too!

This song is known for having its music video covered by the five-member new unit “Royal Flush” led by Chiemi Blouson.

The original music video is cool, but when I think about the cover, I can’t help but laugh.

The idea of covering not the song itself, but the entire music video, is interesting, isn’t it? It feels like it could become a new trend.

Ranking of Western Songs That Get the Crowd Going at Karaoke [2026] (81–90)

Bohemian RhapsodyQueen81rank/position

Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video Remastered)
Bohemian RhapsodyQueen

Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” by the British rock band, is one of their signature songs and also the title of the film depicting the life of lead vocalist Freddie Mercury.

Released as a single in 1975, it was a massive hit, spending nine weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart.

It’s famous for its highly distinctive structure, starting as a ballad, moving into an operatic section, and shifting into hard rock.

The operatic part, in particular, features call-and-response passages that can’t really be sung by one person alone, so it’s great fun at karaoke when sung by a group to capture the atmosphere.

Bad RomanceLady Gaga82rank/position

This is an empowering anthem by the ever-commanding Lady Gaga, who enjoys immense support for her distinctive fashion and uncompromising vocal approach.

It’s an upbeat track with a refreshing punch that resonates with women in their 30s and makes you want to sing it at karaoke.

Watch MeSilentó83rank/position

Silentó – Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) (Official)
Watch MeSilentó

Silentó’s “Watch Me,” which went viral worldwide in 2015.

From this music video, various dance moves like the “whip” and the “nae” spread everywhere.

They’re still loved as fun references around the world, so it might really get the crowd going if you go to karaoke with foreign friends.

SeñoritaShawn Mendes & Camila Cabello84rank/position

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.
