Two HeartsPhil Collins
A solo hit by Phil Collins, the drummer of the progressive rock band Genesis.
In the music video, a band of four Phil Collinses dressed in Beatles-style outfits makes a striking impression.
While it’s a bright pop number, it also carries a somewhat wistful mood.
If you’re confident in your vocal skills, give it a try!
Beat ItMichael Jackson
A single from Michael Jackson’s smash hit monster album Thriller.
Among his songs, this one has a very rock-like feel, featuring a guitar solo by none other than Eddie Van Halen, with Toto’s Steve Lukather also contributing on guitar—making it an incredibly lavish track.
It’s a number you’ll definitely want to sing with some dance moves.
SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire
For those from the disco generation, this classic is incredibly nostalgic—just hearing it will lift your spirits, and some might even start dancing.
As the title suggests, it’s one you’ll definitely want to sing in September, though the vibe feels more like spring or summer.
If you can handle both Maurice White’s low vocals and Philip Bailey’s high vocals by yourself, you’re a hero! If not, split the parts among two or more people and sing together!
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!
Sugar Baby LoveThe Rubettes
The Rubettes are a British group that debuted in 1974.
The intro of this debut single is so famous that you’ve probably heard it everywhere.
It’s a high-quality pop song, and if you can hit the falsetto in the intro, by all means give it a sing!
We Will Rock YouQueen
Included on their sixth album, News of the World, “We Will Rock You” is known as one of Queen’s signature songs.
Created so the audience could take part, its ensemble of just handclaps and foot stomps is simple yet tremendously impactful.
With its narrow vocal range and minimal dynamics, it’s perfect as an entry point to Western pop music.
It’s a massive hit that, when sung at karaoke, is sure to get everyone joining in for a rousing sing-along.
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?
