Long Train Runnin’The Doobie Brothers

Long Train Runnin’

This ultra-famous number gets your body moving the moment you hear the intro.

You’ve probably heard it in all sorts of places, like car TV commercials! It’s from 1973, but it doesn’t feel dated at all—such a cool track! It’s the kind of song you want to sing along to with everyone, adding call-and-response parts.

Saturday In The ParkCHICAGO

Chicago – Saturday In The Park (1973)

A classic early Chicago song, released in 1972.

It’s from the era when they were called a “brass rock band,” before they became an AOR group.

It was even used in a car TV commercial, right? The song evokes a Saturday afternoon with cheerful spring weather.

Chicago’s AOR era is great too, but if you’re going to sing, I think the early Chicago songs feel more tasteful and stylish!

LaylaEric Clapton

Eric Clapton – “Layla” – LIVE – HQ

Released in 1971, this is a number from the Derek and the Dominos era.

The song reflects Clapton’s feelings at the time.

He was hopelessly in love with George Harrison’s wife, Pattie Boyd, and as his longing grew, this song was born.

Pattie married Clapton in 1979, but they divorced nine years later.

It can also work well to sing it with a slightly husky tone and a bit of vocal ornamentation.

We Are the ChampionsQueen

Queen – We Are The Champions (Official Video)

Released in 1977, this song is loved worldwide as an anthem celebrating sporting victories.

Freddie Mercury’s powerful vocals and the sing-along friendliness that invites the crowd are its key charms.

Its popularity remains strong, having even been chosen as an official theme song for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

When sung by a large crowd in a stadium, it can make you feel as if you yourself are the champion.

It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to feel the bond with your teammates or celebrate life’s victories.

Let It BeThe Beatles

Let It Be (Remastered 2009)

This work, with its comforting melody and profound lyrics, is known as one of the Beatles’ signature songs.

Released as a single in March 1970 and included on the album of the same name, it is a gem of a ballad.

The background—that Paul McCartney wrote it with thoughts of his late mother—has resonated with many people.

With its warm piano tones and message filled with hope, this song speaks to the heart and is perfect for times of worry or anxiety.

Sing it at karaoke, and it will gently embrace your feelings.
