Get the Laughs! Funny Karaoke Songs That Hype Up the Crowd

Hamburger shopTatsuo Kamon

Hamburger Shop - Tatsuo Kamon

Speaking of comedy novelty songs, we can’t forget Tatsuo Kamon! From among his many humorous tracks, let me introduce “Hamburger Shop.” Every burger joint has a manual, and staff generally follow it for customer service and food prep.

That’s only natural, but depending on the situation, it can feel a bit off… The lyrics poke fun at this kind of strictly-by-the-manual customer service at burger shops.

Since much of the song is in dialogue, even if you’re not good at singing, you can just read the lyrics in a funny way and you’re set! In any case, with Tatsuo Kamon’s songs, being funny is far more important than vocal prowess!

Please, MuscleHibiki Sakura, Naruzo Machio

Please, Muscle

This track is characterized by lyrics that weave in various strength-training exercises.

It was released in July 2019 as the opening theme for the anime “How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?”.

The music video on YouTube surpassed 14 million views in just five months! It’s an addictive song that makes you want to move your body just by listening.

If you sing it at karaoke, we recommend striking muscle poses as you go.

If everyone imitates workout moves while singing, it sounds like a fun way to enjoy both laughter and exercise at the same time.

National Sake-Drinking Festival Song of Japanbarracuda

Nationwide Drinkers' Ondo (with Nico Nico Douga comments)

When you think of karaoke, isn’t it often tied to scenes involving alcohol—like heading out after drinks with friends, or a New Year’s gathering where there’s always a tipsy uncle in the mix? In times like those, how about singing the perfectly upbeat “Nihon Zenkoku Sake-nomi Ondo”? It’s a song that resonates with people who love a drink, cheerfully celebrating how every season offers some kind of excuse to enjoy alcohol.

It’s a feel-good number that will get everyone going at karaoke—even those who don’t drink.

Even though it’s a bit painful to hear, you can’t help but enjoy singing and listening to it.

It’s a song that’ll make even those tired of working want to belt it out—an absolute crowd-pleaser that really fires things up.

With its entertaining lyrical storyline, “Happy Wedding Mae Song” is a real crowd-pleaser at karaoke.

Since it features twin vocals by Koyama Takuya, Shibata Aribobo, and Okazaki Taiiku, it’s perfect for a duet and guaranteed to hype everyone up.

The song playfully teases a man and a woman into getting married on a whim, so it’s sure to get laughs.

After many famous YouTubers posted dance covers, the choreography also became well known.

It might be fun not only to sing it at karaoke, but to try the dance as well.

This song, which became a huge hit as the theme for the wildly popular anime Fist of the North Star, is known across a wide range of generations, thanks in part to collaborations such as with pachislot machines.

It was re-released in 2004 with a Kenshiro CD jacket.

It’s sure to excite everyone, from younger fans who enjoy pachislot to the middle-aged generation who watched the anime.
