[Get the Laughs with This!] Hilarious, Crowd-Pleasing Karaoke Gag Songs (101–110)
Automobile Show SongAkira Kobayashi
This song by Akira Kobayashi is a humorous piece that weaves puns on the names of famous cars into the lyrics.
It was also used on the hugely popular show “How Do You Like Wednesday?”, so it seems like it would get a crowd going even when younger people sing it.
There’s also an anecdote that the original lyrics were banned from broadcast because certain phrases were deemed problematic, and this is the re-released version with the altered lyrics.
Fart ExerciseJuri Ueno
This is a song written and composed by the main character, a music college student nicknamed “Nodame,” from the drama Nodame Cantabile.
It’s styled like a children’s exercise segment from a kids’ TV show.
If you have children, you can enjoy it together—it’s a funny, upbeat song.
Enjoy it with the choreography!
A Sign of CourageUshiwakamaru Santarō
Many of you have probably tried Regain, the energy drink sold by Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare.
It’s a real lifesaver when you’re exhausted and need that extra push.
The song that became instantly famous through Regain’s commercials is “Yūki no Shirushi” (Sign of Courage).
In the midst of the bubble era, the catchphrase “Can you fight for 24 hours?” left a strong impression.
The singer is Saburō Tokito as the character Santarō Ushiwakamaru, and his youthful look was reassuring, too.
It’s a guaranteed hit at karaoke with a slightly older crowd.
It’s a song you’ll want to sing while reminiscing about the old days!
YES MAXUchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
A lot of Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai’s songs are perfect as gag picks for karaoke, aren’t they? “YES MAX” is a collaboration track with Acecook’s cup noodles Super Cup, and its quirky lyrics became a hot topic.
The hilarious music video is a must-see too!
Kiyoshi's Zundoko SongKiyoshi Hikawa
This is one of Kiyoshi Hikawa’s signature songs released in 2004, “Kiyoshi no Zundoko-bushi.” The catchy chorus makes you want to hum along without thinking, doesn’t it? Be sure to include the call-and-response parts.
You could even swap in your own name.

Just barely Showa-eraKyuso Nekokami
Kyuso Nekokami has lots of fun, upbeat tracks you can really get into.
From the title alone, Giri Showa sounds intriguing, and it’s a song that reflects the half-lives of members born right at the tail end of the Showa era and their feelings toward the Heisei era.
The word “Reiwa” appears in the lyrics, and the music video released right after the new era name was announced also drew attention.
If you’re from the same generation as Kyuso—often called the “Yutori generation”—this is a track you’ll likely relate to and get hyped for.
The call-and-response with the era names really gets the crowd going!
Debt KingUlfuls
A song by Ulfuls released in 1994.
The lyrics, written in their signature conversational style, feel oddly familiar—catchy and easy to grasp! It was used as the ending theme for the drama “Naniwa Kinyudo,” so many of you may have heard it.
If you ever go to karaoke with a friend who owes you money, give it a try (lol)! The lyrics are humorous, but the song itself is exhilarating rock ’n’ roll, and it’s a real crowd-pleaser when you sing it—that’s a big plus!
