You go up to the DJ and all of a sudden, nothing. No, I’m not referring to a black out. I’m talking about that moment when you totally forget all the songs you’ve ever liked or sung in the shower. But there’s no backing out now, your friends are cheering you on...

Top Ten Karaoke Songs

10. Killing Me Softly by The Fugees: Even I can make this song sound okay. Enough said!
9. Cowboy by Kid Rock: Pretty much anyone can look cool singing this song. I swear.
8. Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi: If you’re a really terrible singer, this is the one to go with! People in karaoke bars LOVE this song and their singing along will most likely cover up yours.
7. Dragula by Rob Zombie: Tip – have an extra drink before you do this one.
6. I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher: Awesome duet and easy. Need I say more?

5. Come Together by the Beatles: A classic. Plus, all the older people in the bar will want to buy you a drink after.
4. Forgot About Dre by Eminem and Dr. Dre: My personal favorite. And yes, I know I shouldn’t rap.
3. Picture by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock: You will probably get a good audience response with this one because people (for some reason) really feel they can relate.
2. Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg: Hilarious no matter who sings it. Plus, you can really add in some stage personality with this one.
1. Honky Tonk Badonkadonk by Trace Adkins: A real crowd-pleaser! Trust me on this one.
