Best Karaoke Songs of All Time

Karaoke is like a mini-concert in your living room but with more off-key notes and giggles. Some of us have voices like nightingales. And some, well, let's just say our pets might leave the room. But that's okay. Karaoke is all about fun, not winning a Grammy.

We all know picking a song can be hard. You don’t want to select a boring song and hear your friends snore. But you also don't want a song so hard that you sound like a cat in a washing machine. It's a tricky balance.

So, we've put in the effort to get the top karaoke tunes on our list. There are enjoyable ones that will get your grandmother dancing and simple ones to prevent biting your tongue. Even the ladies can shine in some of the songs. Also, we have duets for those "let's rock this together" moments.

So, are you ready to find your new go-to song? Let’s roll!
