Karaoke Go-To Songs

I'm sure you all love Karaoke. In the right setting, it can be quite enjoyable! As a young Filipino male, I've been raised in a family (and culture) that has the tendency to bust out the karaoke machine during parties and gatherings. Still, I've come to notice that specific people tend to gravitate towards specific types of songs.

How about you guys? What are your Go-To karaoke songs?

    I'm mildly surprised that Sonic didn't beat you to making this thread.

    Does Rock Band count as karaoke? In that case, The Ballroom Blitz is a really fun song to sing.

    I've never done karaoke, but I imagine Juke Box Hero and Eye of the Tiger would be sung until they threw me off of the stage.

    Wha? Why's that?

    Anyhow, My favorite karaoke songs are "Senorita" by Los Lonely Boys, "Maria Maria" by Santana, "Kokomo" by The Beach Boys, and "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top.

    Oh, and of course damn near anything by Frank Sinatra.

    For me, it's "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond, "Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, and anything by Journey.

    Also, "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. That song is amazing in karaoke settings.

    I've been known to take on stupidly difficult songs, and play them for comic effect. It has been reported to me that my most impressive karaoke performance included an attempt at I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.

    Beat It, but spoken, and in a vaguely English accent.

    Though I've never actually gone out for karaoke, I know that I'd go with Elton John. "Benny and the Jets" and "Levon" FTW.

    I've only done karaoke a couple times, and only Billy Idol songs.

    This and Bohemian Rhapsody (along with other people).

    Oh, and GaoGaiGar. Don't forget about that one.

    Well that's 'cause it's a fun thing to do with a group. That's why there are all those karaoke parlors in k-town.

    For me, it's "I'm Sailing Away" by Styx. Cartman version is also great. And when I want to make people crack up, "Painkiller" by Judas Priest as "sung" by James Lipton.

    I completely forgot about Space Oddity by David Bowie. That one is great to sing.

    It's been so long since I karaoked, but I think I have more fun singing Sesame Steet versions of songs more than the originals, especially Born to Add.
    There's nothing better than a Boss-type singing about the successor function.

    I've only done karaoke once in my life, and I did "War" by Edwin Starr. Badly. Thankfully I was singing with 2 other people who could mask me.

    I forgot about the time a friend dragged me and two other friends up to do "We Are the Champions". None of us really knew the song that well. Clusterfuck.

    I don't have any go-tos that I can think of. I just look over the lists and sing what grabs me at the moment.
