So I have to sing karaoke soon…and it’s not something I’m particularly comfortable with. Mainly because I have no go-to songs and don’t know the words or verses to most popular music.
I did some research and my safest bet (for something that americans actually might know that is somewhat australian/obscure) is inxs. Also my jukebox default.
Who has some good ones ready to go?
I think if they have it I’ll do this one;
if anyone recommends the vegemite sammich song they can fuck right off.
Rhinestone Cowboy.
US Forces - Midnight Oil.
Divinyls - Boys In Town
OR
Rise Against - Hero of War
or the one you can sing completely outta key and still do it justice…
Radiehead - Creep
Journey: Don’t Stop Believing
Boston: More Than a Feeling
Taylor Swift: We are Never Getting Back Together
Katy Perry: Fireworks
Toto: Africa.
Learn all the words to Ice Ice Baby and you will always be able to rock a karaoke jam.
ftfy.
Kenny Rogers: The Gambler
Righteous Brothers: Unchained Melody (screamed a la West Coast hardcore.)
I thought the theme was Australian right?
^ Oops, got excited.
Implied in post only, not explicit.
Human Nature songs make for good karaoke guilty pleasures. (e.g. Wishes).
Or I’m sure they’d know the words to “Somebody that I used to know” if you want to go there.
Otherwise something by the Bee Gees? Or “down under” by Men at Work.
Happy man, Sunnyboys
.
Not Australian, but I always sing “Superstar” by the Carpenters and I can’t sing, so I do my best Thurston Moore impersonation.

Anything from Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet.
My karaoke go-to too.
Welp, see you round, folks!
Steppenwolf - Born to be wild. Just yell at top of lungs until it’s over.
Edit: or Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man”. Won’t be a dry eye in the house.
