I've never seen these flop at kareoke (if done with average competency):

Jump around - cypress hill gang

I will survive - Gloria Gaynor

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Billy Jean - Michael Jackson (many other covers)

Shake it off - Taylor Swift

Pick 1 of the above plus a Beatles song and you're good for impromptu Kareoke.

If you have a few days notice and a friend to plan with the options expand...

I tried Bohemian Rhapsody once at karaoke, realized quick that I did not have the range for that song.

Yeah, that one definitely flopped when I tried it.

Given that you cannot lie, this must be true.

New Jersey state law requires everyone to sing along to Don't Stop Believing.

I once chose Paradise By The Dashboard Light for karaoke and that was the only time I've ever done karaoke because I'm still embarrassed ten years later at how awful a choice it was. Great song, terrible for karaoke.
