Top 10 Pop Songs to Sing for Karaoke

Karaoke started out in the clubs and bars of Japan, born out of the Japanese love of singing in front of people and has taken America by storm. Let's face it - we all sing, it's just that well, most of us would rather sing in private; whether it's in the shower or the car, we just love to sing. Now most of us can't carry a tune, but all of us want to be a star so we have found a new outlet, karaoke. It has become so popular in the bars, and at home, that there are now local, state and even national competitions for the brave ones. I love to sing in the shower myself, but would never do it in public. In this list are ten of the most popular pop songs to sing at a karaoke event.

1. Eye of the Tiger (Asia): Everyone remembers this from Rocky IV.

2. Beat It (Michael Jackson): Can you dance like Michael?

3. Complicated (Avril Lavigne): A quirky look at life but fun to sing.

4. Living on a Prayer (Bon Jovi):Song for the workin' man.

5. Dancing Queen (ABBA): Oldie but a goodie!

6. Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen): Remember Dumb and Dumber?

7. What a Wonderful World(Louis Armstrong): Still a great song.

8. Like a Virgin (Madonna): One for the girls.

9. Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Green Day): Go ahead be a punk.

10. Thriller (Michael Jackson): Bring down the house.
