It’s no secret that the majority of us are not blessed with the vocal cords of Lady Gaga or Adele. But that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy belting out our favorite songs in the shower or singing karaoke with friends and family. Show And because we know we aren’t doing ourselves—or the rest of the room—any favors by choosing the most difficult songs from the setlist (Whitney Houston’s rendition of "I Will Always Love You" should never, ever be attempted), we decided to come up with a list of jams that are fun to sing and practically impossible to mess up. These simple tunes are not here to find the next Kelly Clarkson, but they are designed to bring out even the shyest singer on stage (because let's face it, nothing gets the party going like performing "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen or "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond at least once). So, keep reading for 70 easy karaoke songs to queue up at your next get-together. RELATED: The 60 Best Feel-Good Songs That Will Instantly Put You in a Happy Mood 1. "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly ClarksonWhile we may not have the range of Kelly Clarkson, we can still channel the American Idol alum (or at least that iconic scene from Pitch Perfect) with this pop track. 2. "Hey Ya" by OutkastThis 2003 hit will have your friends "shaking it like a Polaroid picture" and singing along with you when the chorus comes up. 3. "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha BedingfieldNothing says the early '00s like this Natasha Bedingfield number, especially when you start singing "Take me away..." 4. "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy and MonicaGrab your duet partner and belt out this '90s classic. Whether you take Brandy or Monica's part, be prepared to recreate the iconic music video. 5. "Love Shack" by The B-52'sIt's impossible to not have fun with this '80s track. Trust us, the lyrics are enough to add to the party setlist. Story continues 6. "I Will Survive" by gloria gaynorFive seconds into this song and everyone will recognize what’s about to go down. And what better way to kick things off than with a group sing-along? 7. "Don't Let Me Get Me" by PinkIf you’re dealing with some pent up rage that you’d like to get rid of then this tune is a great choice (just watch the video to understand what we mean). 8. "I heard it through the grapevine" by marvin gayeDo you typically feel super uncomfortable on stage and dread the idea of a karaoke night? Have someone else sing the lead and you just take the occasional “honey, honey” in the background. 9. "Wannabe" by the Spice GirlsYou really don’t need a group of friends to join you on this one (unless, you want to, of course) because this Spice Girls hit sounds just as good solo. 10. "Good As Hell" by LizzoIf you’re going sing a Lizzo song, you better bring confidence and some attitude. Actually, make sure to bring a lot of attitude. 11. "All i want for Christmas is You" by Mariah CareyEven if it’s not technically the holiday season, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is still a popular—and fun—song to sing during any party or get together. (But it's especially cheerful to belt out during the colder months.) 12. "Bohemian Rhapsody" by QueenThis classic tune gets a little fast around the three minute mark, but we have faith that you can handle it. (And remember, when in doubt—just throw the microphone out to the crowd for a group sing-along.) 13. "I want you back" by The Jackson FiveA little choreographed dance will make this performance one of the (if not the) most memorable of the entire night. Braided pigtails are totally optional. But killer dance moves (including hair flips) are a must. 15. "Don’t go Breaking my heart" by Elton John and Kiki DeeLooking to do a duet? We’ve got you covered. Or should we say, Elton and Kiki have got you covered? Just don’t forget the snazzy shades. 16. "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNCShow us someone who is unhappy to listen to NSYNC. We dare you. 17. "Girls Just wanna have fun" by Cindi LauperIt’s possible probable that the boys will enjoy singing this tune just as much as the girls in the room. 18. "Man! I feel like a woman’ by Shania Twain“Let’s go girls.” Need we say more? 19. "Mr. Brightside" by the KillersThere’s just something about “Mr. Brightside” that makes any crowd go wild. Especially if you turn the volume up all the way. 20. "Party in the USA" by Miley CyrusNew Miley is cool, but there’s nothing quite like 2009 Miley rocking out to a patriotic anthem. 21. "Sweet Caroline" by neil diamondBetter start practicing chanting “so good” with your first in the air. Then repeating it over and over and over... 22. "Sweet Child O’ Mine" by Guns ‘N RosesWhy not kick things off with the air guitar for the full effect? (No practice necessary.) 23. "Drops of Jupiter" by TrainEveryone’s arms will be placed around one another before the end of the set, you can bet on that. 24. "Wagon Wheel" by Darius RuckerChoose something nice and slow so that you don’t have to worry about reading fast and keeping up with the lyrics. This sweet tune fits the bill nicely. 25. "Mambo No. 5" By lou begaMight we suggest switching the names in the song for the names of your pals? Just to change things up a bit. 26. "Let it go" from FrozenWhat’s karaoke without at least one Disney song? And Frozen is obviously our first choice. 27. "Bleeding Love" by Leona LewisIdeal for anyone looking to belt their heart out or make heart shapes with their hands to the crowd. 28. "If I Ain’t Got you" by Alicia KeysAlicia Keys may have killer vocals, but this one is surprisingly easy to sing. Don’t worry, we won’t tell. 29. "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the WavesWhat makes this tune such a great choice for karaoke night? All of the instrumental interludes provide the perfect time to rest your vocal chords and dance around the stage. 30. "Before He Cheats" by Carrie UnderwoodIt may be ultimate break-up anthem, but Carrie Underwood rocks on any and every occasion. 31. "Livin’ on a prayer" by Bon JoviHopefully your microphone is portable because we’ve noticed this one can get pretty intense. If not, a light mic stand will do. 32. "I want it that way" by the Backstreet BoysNSYNC or Backstreet Boys? We will never pick a side. (OK, fine—BSB forever.) 33. "Sk8er Boi" by Avril LavigneIs it just us, or are the 90s a total goldmine for killer karaoke tunes? For this one, baggy pants and dark eyeliner encouraged but not required. And you may want to consider investing in a skateboard or a sideways hat to really help you channel your inner teenage angst. 34. "Hakuna Matata" from The Lion KingWe told you there’d be more than one Disney song. Either the original or the latest version (featuring Seth Rogan, Donald Glover and Billy Eichner) will do. 35. "Thank you for being a friend" by Andrew GoldObviously we needed to include the Golden Girls theme song—especially since there’s a reboot on the way. 36. "(Sittin‘ On) The Dock of the Bay" by Otis ReddingAccompany your strong vocals with some snapping of your fingers and slight swaying of your hips. The audience will follow. 37. "Good Riddance (Time of Your life)" by Green day“Boulevard of Broken Dreams” also works too. No matter which Green Day song you choose, lighters will be held high in the air. 38. "Jolene" by Dolly PartonMight we also recommend giving the popular Miley Cyrus (who happens to be Parton’s goddaughter) version a shot? 39. "Goodbye Earl" by The ChicksIt really doesn’t get better than this 90s sing-along. 40. "I Love Rock 'N Roll" by Joan Jett & the BlackheartsFor the rock n’ roll lovers in the room, this one is a no-brainer. Sorry, we had to. 41. "It’s all coming back to me now" by Celine Dion“It’s All Coming Back to Me” will turn into a group sing as soon as the first chorus hits because Dion just has that effect on people. To be honest, a number of tunes by the best-selling singer and total fashion icon would be great for karaoke but we're partial to this excellent power ballad. Do we even need to explain why this one made it on the list? 43. "Don’t stop believin’" by JourneyPretty much any Journey song works for karaoke, but this one is hands down the easiest. It’s also the one that’s most likely to get the party started. 44. "Thank U, Next" by Ariana GrandeYou probably already know the words considering how often it’s been played. Aka, you won’t even have to lay eyes on the screen to read the lyrics. 45. "WaterLoo" by AbbaThere's a ton of ABBA songs to choose from for your inevitable encore, including “Mamma Mia,” “Take a Chance on Me” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” 46. "Uptown Girl" by Billy JoelThirty-seven years later (we can’t believe it either) and this song still does not get old. 47. "Build me up buttercup" by the foundationsIn our opinion, this cheery tune is the only one that’s acceptable to play over and over again without becoming incredibly annoying. 48. "Should I stay or should I go?" by the ClashYou definitely don’t need a ton of vocal range for this one, making this one you’re forever go-to option. 49. "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa CarltonIf you’re lucky, someone in the room might even know how to play it on the piano. Or if you happen to have some spare time on your hands, learn it yourself to really impress your friends and fam. 50. "All the Small Things" by Blink 182Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na. Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na. That’s it. That’s the caption. 51. "Say my name" by Destiny’s childGrab two of your best friends and try not to fight too much over who gets to be Beyoncé. Spoiler alert: It’s obviously you. 52. "Fergalicious" by FergieNail this one and we guarantee everyone will be calling you ‘Stacy’ the rest of the night. Also, make sure you know how to spell “Fergalicious.” 53. "Someone like you" by AdeleThe louder you sing, the better you’ll sound. At least, that’s what we’re telling ourselves. 54. "Bad Romance" by Lady GagaHonestly, there are endless Gaga options for karaoke, but this one is pretty hard to beat. “Telephone” is a close second. 55. "I wanna dance with Somebody" by Whitney HoustonThis one’s so much easier than “I Will Always Love You,” plus will get everyone in the best mood. Want an encore that will really get people up on their feet? Queue up yet another Whitney classic, “How Will I Know.” 56. "Genie in a Bottle" by Christina AguileraDefinitely the easiest of all of Aguilera’s hits, “Genie in a Bottle” is a jam recognized by majority of age groups. From our own personal experience, the rest of the crowd will likely join in on the chorus to help you out. 58. "Hold On" by Wilson PhillipsIf you’re hoping to go for more of a Bridesmaids vibe, anything Wilson Phillips will get you where you need to be. 59. "Jenny from the Block" by Jennifer LopezCome on, you didn’t really think that we were going to skip J.Lo in this list, did you? Other solid choices include “Let’s Get Loud” and Love Don’t Cost a Thing.” 60. "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen StefaniAs long as you know how to spell “banana” then you’ll knock this one out of the park. Oh, and be sure to use the clean version if there are any kids in the room. 61. "Africa" by TotoWe can’t forget about this classic, which is guaranteed to be sung by at least three people in attendance. 62. "Stacy’s Mom" by Fountains of Wayne“Stacy’s Mom” is always someone’s go-to and we can totally see why. 63. "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick AstleyBe prepared for it to be stuck in your head for the next 24 hours. 64. "It’s Raining Men" by The Weather GirlsA big portion of the song is just talking, so even the most amateur karaokier (like us) can go for it. 65. "Don’t Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrinGuaranteed to brighten anyone and everyone’s mood, Bobby McFerrin is a solid way to end the night. 66. “Dancing Queen” by AbbaWe couldn't resist adding another ABBA song to the list, especially something as iconic as this '70s hit. You'll have everyone on their feet the second you sing the chorus. 67. “Total Eclispe of the Heart” by Bonnie TylerIf you're in your feelings, this is the song to dedicate to that heartbreaker. 68. “What Makes You Beautiful” by One DirectionA night with your friends is not complete without collectively belting out this boy band tune. It's even more fun when you assign everyone a part to play. 69. “All Too Well” by Taylor SwiftAre you a one-time singer kind of gal at karaoke? Well, no fret. We found the perfect 10-minute banger that lets you unleash the performer in you. Taylor would definitely be proud. 70. “We Don't Talk About Bruno” by Encanto CastOK, there are a ton of Disney songs to sing (and we already highlighted two classics).
