Funny Western pop songs for karaoke skits

When you think of karaoke in Japan, most people sing J‑pop, but every now and then someone does an English song and the room really lights up, right?

This time, we’re featuring “interesting” tracks from Western music.

That doesn’t mean songs that are simply funny.

In Japan, where English isn’t widely spoken, singing Western songs just because the lyrics are funny won’t really land.

Rather than “funny” as in comical, we’ve selected songs that are “interesting” in the sense of intriguing.

Of course, we’ve only picked tracks that are likely to hype up a karaoke session, so feel free to use this as a reference!
