Everybody Wants To Rule The WorldTears for Fears
A hit song by the British band Tears for Fears.
Although the lyrics are anti-nuclear, the music has a sweeping feel that makes you want to listen to it while driving through nature.
It’s a song you’ll want to sing with a touch of melancholy.
CenterfoldThe J. Geils Band
An 80s megahit with a memorable intro.
This band originally had a blues-based, strongly R&B-tinged sound, and there was even a time when they were called the “American Rolling Stones.” But as the 80s arrived, the band’s direction shifted, leading to this very wild yet poppy number.
The English lyrics can be a bit tricky to sing, but just cover it with feeling!
My SharonaThe Knack
That ultra-famous number by The Knack that makes you go “Ah!” the moment the intro starts.
You’ve heard it in all kinds of places, right? People tend to think of The Knack as a one-hit wonder, but if you listen to their albums all the way through, they’re packed with hard-hitting yet poppy rock tracks with no filler.
What’s more, back in the day they were even hyped as “the second Beatles.” Perfect for a karaoke opener!
Every Breath You TakeThe Police
A signature song by The Police, the band Sting belonged to and who is still active as a solo artist at the forefront today.
While The Police initially gave the impression of having many punkish numbers and tracks with reggae-like rhythms, Every Breath You Take is unusual in their catalog—yet it became their biggest hit.
It’s a very sophisticated number, so if you’re in your 50s, be sure to sing it coolly in front of the younger crowd!

YMCAVillage People
This number is super famous in Japan thanks to Hideki Saijo’s cover “Young Man.” It’s originally a 1978 track by the Village People.
If you were a regular at discos, you might find your body moving naturally as soon as you hear it.
Let’s all get pumped by making the letters “Y-M-C-A” with our arms!
Careless WhisperWham!
A big hit ballad by the British duo WHAM!, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley.
In Japan, Hideki Saijo and Hiromi Go also covered it.
It’s quite rare for two artists to release covers around the same time in Japan, which suggests the melody really resonates with Japanese listeners.
Plus, for a ballad, it feels like it would work in karaoke without killing the vibe, so if you’re a strong singer, definitely give it a try!
Owner of a Lonely HeartYES
A massive hit by YES, a progressive rock band representing the UK.
Around this time, YES brought in promising young guitarist Trevor Rabin, broke away from their previous prog sound, and restarted as a newly reborn YES.
Although it was a hit, many longtime YES fans were critical; while they gained new fans, they lost some of the old ones.
Even so, this hugely famous song is relatively easy to sing at karaoke, giving the impression that it’s suitable for beginners to Western pop/rock karaoke.
