I’ve seen lists of songs with deep lyrics, songs that are upbeat but depressing at the same time, songs not on the radio, and other things like that… But I have never seen a list of songs that are just super fun to sing.

Some examples of things I like singing are Lewis Capaldi, anything by Chris Cornell (though I wish I could have that awesome gutteral/growly sound in my voice), Cottonmouth, Nirvana, RHCP, Tool, etc. I love long sustains and just dudes and dudettes belting out staccato. The feeling of matching pitch and tone you get in your stomach and lungs as the sounds reverberate together is exhilarating. Not to mention the catharsis of putting your heart and soul into singing along with an angry song when you’re pissed.

    A lot of great answers in here. Another one that I’ve never seen/heard fail to get crowd participation is “It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi.

    Basically any song that has a really catchy chorus and allows you to sing it whether you’re on or off-key is a winner, because karaokes are all about having fun with it.
