The song “Radio Ga Ga,” included on their 11th album The Works and also a worldwide hit single, features lyrics that liken the band to radio—then said to be in decline—conveying a strong determination that they’re far from finished.
With its simple melody, minimal inflection, and relaxed tempo, it’s easy to sing even for those who feel uneasy about Western pop.

It’s a slightly old song, but it’s quite famous and I think most Japanese people know it.
There are plenty of chances to shout call-and-response lines for the singer, so if you do it at karaoke, it becomes a song everyone can enjoy together.
Since it’s a celebratory song, it’s perfect as a birthday song.
