[2025] For Men in Their 50s! A Roundup of Easy-to-Sing Western Music Classics for Karaoke (41–50)
HighwayStarDeep Purple
This number is a signature song by Deep Purple, a hard rock band from 1970s Britain.
In Japan, the literal-translation cover version by the guitarist Ousama is pretty well-known, right? It’s got a great groove and is perfect as an opening song for karaoke.
That said, copying Ian Gillan’s shouts exactly might be a bit tough for guys in their 50s.
If you’re confident in your stamina and lung capacity, go for it!

Sweet Child O’ MineGuns N’ Roses
Many people in their 50s today were surely inspired by Guns to aim to be singers or pick up a guitar.
Their historic, classic debut album, Appetite for Destruction, released in 1987, is full of great songs, but the masterpiece Sweet Child O’ Mine—known for topping the Billboard chart and later being covered by Sheryl Crow, who won a Grammy for it—is a staple of karaoke.
Its melody is easy to remember, and Axl Rose’s signature high-pitched shouts aren’t as intense as in some of their other tracks, so it seems relatively singable.
By the way, Slash’s intro riff is now the stuff of legend, but it’s funny that he himself didn’t consider it all that serious at the time.
Power of LoveHuey Lewis & The News
A huge hit by Huey Lewis and the News that was used in the movie Back to the Future and in car commercials.
Huey Lewis’s husky vocals are super cool.
In fact, Huey Lewis apparently made a cameo appearance in Back to the Future.
Nail the chorus line, “Don’t need no credit card to ride this train,” with style!
ImagineJohn Lennon
An ultra-famous solo number by former Beatle John Lennon.
People in their 50s probably all know this song.
Sing it at karaoke when everyone’s starting to get a little tired; if you sing it while the energy is high, it might dampen the mood a bit.
Still, the melody is exceptionally easy to sing, so lean into the vibe and perform it with feeling!
Never Ending StoryLimahl
A solo song by Limahl, the vocalist of Kajagoogoo, a group often considered a one-hit wonder of the ’80s.
Many of you have probably seen the movie as well, right? This track, which for many leaves a stronger impression than the film itself, is highly melodic and easy to sing.
It’s a number I’d love to hear performed by someone with a great voice.
And for the chorus, make it a duet with a female singer!
Don’t Stop Me NowQueen
Queen has so many karaoke-friendly songs that I had a hard time choosing, but I decided to go with this one that everyone knows from the commercials! It’s upbeat and really gets the crowd going.
It’s from 1978, so it should hit the sweet spot for people in their 50s right now, don’t you think?
I Just Called To Say I Love YouStevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder’s 1984 release that became a No.
1 hit ballad in the U.
S.
It was originally said to have been intended for the Japanese folk duo Bread & Butter.
In Japan, it was also used in commercials and as a TV drama theme song.
It’s a highly melodic number that lingers in both the ear and the heart.
If you’re confident in your singing, put your cellphone to your ear and belt it out to get everyone hyped!
