What makes a good karaoke song is based on your audience. It should be something you think many of the people in the room would know, and could maybe sing along to. It doesn’t have to be a song they consciously like, just know. Most of the time not too slow. You see too many people getting up and doing something that’s technically impressive but not enjoyable for the audience, like a deep cut from a musical.
Yeah, we had a guy who did “just Ken” by Ryan Gosling from Barbie. It was not the best song for the moment.

For extra goofs, get the timing wrong.
I love the internet sometimes.
Napalm Death - You suffer.
I personally think it drags on a bit too long for karaoke.
4’33 by John Cage.
Wonderwall
Sweet Caroline. It’s impossible for the audience to resist shouting “BOP BOP BAAAAA” during that song.
Also, I think I’ve only heard that song during karaoke. I never hear it anywhere else…
Literally anything you like!
I personally have a strong leaning towards rock music groups from the 90s to 00s ish. Such as “Linkin Park” and “Papa Roach”. I also like newer bands such as “Starset” and “Project Vela”. I just can’t do the screaming parts haha.
Random side note: And… if I could stop being lazy maybe I’ll make more karaoke videos on YouTube haha. (I try to make ones for my favorite songs that don’t have karaoke videos for it yet.)
Baka Mitai, obviously…
