I like going to karaoke bars with my friends, but so many songs have problems:
- They’re fun for the first 2 verses and chorus, but then they keep going, or
- They include some really long instrumental break in the middle, where I just have to kinda tap dance
What are some karaoke songs that don’t have these problems? Looking for songs that are
- short: Below 4 min if possible. Maybe even below 3?
- no instrumental break
Thanks Lemmy!

Blur - Song 2
Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones
2:12, people can join in, and the lyrics don’t really matter
Hey ho! Let’s go!
Huh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh, Blitzkrieg Bop!
Anything by the Ramones
If you don’t want to be allowed on the stage again: “The pope song” from Tim Minchin is a bit over 2 minutes and has an over 30 fucks/minute score. And it only has a 2 second instrumental break.
Considering how many karaoke DJs still carry around a binder full of CDs, I doubt this one is readily available.
Do one of the eminem skits, like the Ken Kaniff skit where it’s just sounds of someone sucking dick. It’s like a minute long, and nobody will ever invite you back out for Karaoke again. Problem solved.
Tequila by The Champs.
Many Beatles songs are short. Yesterday’s not too hard.
Some Beatles songs are very hard, e.g. Oh! Darling.
On that note, Her Majesty.
Let the Bodies Hit the Floor by Drowning Pool
Sorry, I just always hated how short that song is compared to how great it actually sounds. It’s nonstop vocals for the most part, too. Might be something different for you to try.
The Song That Never Ends avoids the problem with the instrumental break.
You monster
I’ll Make a Man Out of You from Mulan is one of my go-tos. Just over 3 minutes, basically all singing, and it’s just verse-chorus-verse-chorus-chorus
Summer Song by Joe Satriani
Of the top of my head go with “Norwgian Wood” by the Beatles. Barely above 2 minutes with a single instrumental break of 15 seconds (which because of the shortness is actaully 12% of the song)
Fell in love with a girl - The White Stripes
Not the easiest song to sing, but it’s very short and no instrumental break, unless you count the “NAAH nah-nah-nah naaa NAAAH. NAAH nah-nah-nah NAAH naaah…” part.
When in doubt Disney or Neil Diamond.
Old Man Thunder by Ween
