A crowd pleasing karaoke song!

I've never seen these flop at kareoke (if done with average competency):

Jump around - cypress hill gang

I will survive - Gloria Gaynor

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Billy Jean - Michael Jackson (many other covers)

Shake it off - Taylor Swift

Pick 1 of the above plus a Beatles song and you're good for impromptu Kareoke.

If you have a few days notice and a friend to plan with the options expand...

I tried Bohemian Rhapsody once at karaoke, realized quick that I did not have the range for that song.

Yeah, that one definitely flopped when I tried it.

I’ve got Sir Mixalot’s “I like big butts” on lock

Given that you cannot lie, this must be true.

New Jersey state law requires everyone to sing along to Don't Stop Believing.

I once chose Paradise By The Dashboard Light for karaoke and that was the only time I've ever done karaoke because I'm still embarrassed ten years later at how awful a choice it was. Great song, terrible for karaoke.
