4 Song Ideas for Karaoke 

1. “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X

Setting a record-breaking 19 weeks at Billboard Hot 100’s number one position, “Old Town Road” is one of the most instantly recognizable and danceable songs of today. This tune is perfect for karaoke, as the lyrics are simple and its silliness tends to get people smiling.

2. “Boys” by Lizzo 

Lizzo’s music brings the energy like few other chart-topping artists of today. “Boys” is an upbeat song about female empowerment that’s perfect to sing at karaoke, especially when your girlfriends join you. 

3. “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette 

Karaoke nights are ideal opportunities to revive hits from previous decades. “Ironic,” one of the biggest hits of the mid-90s, is a blast from the (recent-ish) past and will have the whole crowd feeling nostalgic. You won’t have to worry about signing alone, since most people at the bar will know the words.

4. “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash 

If you’re in the mood to sing a song from yesteryear, “Ring of Fire” is a catchy vintage number. This romantic tune debuted at number one on the Country charts in 1963 and is still a karaoke crowdpleaser over 50 years later.
