67 Funny Karaoke Songs

12. “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon

Song Year: 1986

Arguably the most famous track off of his Graceland album, Simon’s silly song is filled with African-tinged rhythms, irresistible brass riffs, and a nonstop, nonsense jumble of lyrics. There are a lot of words here, but if you can pull it off, you’ll have the bar in stitches.

13. “Stacy’s Mom” by Fountains Of Wayne

Song Year: 2003

Everyone agrees that this was one of the best songs of the early 2000s, and it serves well as a funny karaoke tune. We just feel bad for all the girls in the world named Stacy.

14. “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers

Song Year: 1987

From the very first guitar chords, people instantly recognize this song. Play up the Irish accent and maybe get a friend to jump in on the vocal harmonies. You should have everyone at the bar hollering back the call-and-response before you get through the first chorus.

15. “I Love Rock and Roll” by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts

Song Year: 1981

There aren’t many songs that get the karaoke venue as excited as this tune does. Dress in an ‘80s costume, stand on a chair, play air guitar, or whatever gets you in character. Of course, there’s the Britney Spears cover, but we recommend you stick with the original.

16. “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot

Song Year: 1992

The frenetic energy and nonstop lyrical barrage of this tune make it an irresistible choice when it comes to funny karaoke songs. Show off your booty or sing it awkwardly to a friend – either way, your audience is going to love it.

17. “Tubthumping” by Chumbawumba

Song Year: 1997

This strange, chaotic song dominated the radio airwaves in the late ‘90s and remains an earworm that easily gets stuck in people’s heads today. If you do it at karaoke, grab a female friend to sing the interlude – and several different types of drinks.

18. “Fat Bottomed Girls” by Queen

Song Year: 1978

Equal parts solid rock song and cheeky joke, this track off of Queen’s iconic Jazz album hasn’t lost momentum since it first burst onto the scene in the ‘70s. Karaoke singers of every gender and size enjoy putting this one into the rotation for the sake of amusement.

19. “Hey Ya!” by Outkast

Song Year: 2003

This staple of the early 2000s is pure chaos. It’s perfect for karaoke because anyone can latch onto the simple melody, but also because it requires some shout-outs to other bar patrons that will surely elicit an enthusiastic response.

20. “Red Solo Cup” by Toby Keith

Song Year: 2011

This country-crossover hit caught nearly everyone with its irresistible party vibe. Keith himself spoke negatively about the song, but it remains a karaoke favorite to this day.

21. “U Can’t Touch This” by M.C. Hammer

Song Year: 1990

The rapper M.C. Hammer welcomed the new decade of hip-hop with his signature song and plenty of original dance moves. This karaoke tune is not for the faint of heart.

22. “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies

Song Year: 1998

Make sure to try this one before you start heavy drinking. Many words are packed into just a few minutes of music. Fortunately, a few musical interludes allow you to catch your breath before launching into the next quick-spitting verse.
