[2025] For Men in Their 50s! A Roundup of Classic Western Songs That Hype Up Karaoke (31–40)
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!
Uptown GirlBilly Joel
Billy Joel has many hit songs, but when it comes to tracks that really get the energy up at karaoke, I’d have to go with Uptown Girl.
It’s one of his more up-tempo songs, so it’s easy to get into the groove, and aside from the falsetto parts in the middle, I think most people can sing it without much trouble.
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!
SomebodyBryan Adams
A hit song from Bryan Adams, a Canadian singer, released on his 1984 album “Reckless.
” Back then, everyone admired the look of a white T-shirt, jeans, and a guitar! This song is a very straightforward rock number, and it’s guaranteed to get everyone fired up at karaoke.
It’s definitely a track you’ll want to kick things off with at full throttle.
Private EyesDaryl Hall & John Oates
An ultra-famous song by Hall & Oates that topped the U.
S.
charts for two consecutive weeks in 1981.
It was even featured in TV commercials.
Hall & Oates are extremely popular in Japan and have many other hits, but if you’re singing karaoke, this number-one track is the way to go! It’s a super lively, pop tune that makes you want to jump in with call-and-response.

California GirlsDavid Lee Roth
A Beach Boys cover sung by Van Halen’s vocalist, David Lee Roth.
You could even say this David version has made the song completely his own, surpassing the original! The music video was so Dave-like, packed with women in swimsuits.
It’s definitely a number you’ll want to sing on a hot summer day.
FaithGeorge Michael
A huge hit song from George Michael, former WHAM! vocalist, after he went solo.
With WHAM!, he had a very boyish, idol-like image, but upon his solo debut he transformed into a mature vocalist and artist.
This poppy, catchy number that evokes 1950s rock sold phenomenally worldwide.
If you sing it, you’ll definitely want to wear a leather jacket!
