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!
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!
Hey JudeThe Beatles
A signature late-period Beatles number sung by Paul McCartney.
It’s said that Paul originally wrote the song to encourage John Lennon’s son, Julian.
Its running time of over seven minutes was unusually long for a pop song at the time.
At karaoke, let’s wrap things up by everyone belting out together at the very end: “na na na, na na na na.
.
.
Hey Jude♪”
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!
You Give Love A Bad NameBon Jovi
From the intro, it’s a really cool, high-energy track.
It’s a song I’d love to hear someone with a strong low range sing.
Also great for people who enjoy shouting.
It’s the perfect track to throw into a karaoke session when things start to lull—it’ll switch up the vibe.
Forbidden LoveBon Jovi
Among the Bon Jovi songs people in their 40s used to listen to, I think this is the one that gets everyone most hyped.
If you mention Tsubaki Oniyako’s song, younger people might recognize it—that song.
From the opening shout of “Shot through the heart,” it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.
Can’t take my eyes off youBoys Town Gang
This song, which was a huge hit in Japan in the ’80s, has been covered by various artists both in Japan and abroad, so many of you probably know it.
It’s got a great groove and is easy to sing, so it’s a song I definitely recommend for karaoke.
It’s sure to get everyone pumped up together across generations.
