51 Best Karaoke Songs For Baritones

“Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Withers

Song Year: 1971

Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” isn’t going to get the party going, but it should still be received well at karaoke night. Most people can relate to being estranged from a loved one or not feeling like themselves when they’re missing that special someone.

“Your Song” by Elton John

Song Year: 1970

Many Elton John songs are far from being the easiest to sing, but “Your Song” just so happens to sit comfortably in a range that baritones should be able to handle.

I feel like I’m repeating myself here in that as with several other songs in this guide “Your Song” is not a party rocking anthem, but it still stands as one of the greatest ballads of all time.

“Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster The People

Song Year: 2011

Forster The People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” is deceptive in that it sounds like an otherwise ordinary catchy, happy pop song, but the lyrics are primarily about fleeing from violence.

As a karaoke tune, though, it has the potential to get the crowd going.

“You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt

Song Year: 2004

If you’re in a sappy, romantic mood, and don’t mind risking a few eyerolls and cringes, there’s no law against going up to sing James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful” to your girlfriend on karaoke night. Besides, it’s very singable for a baritone.

“Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman

Song Year: 1988

Everyone feels like getting away from it all every now and again. And Tracy Chapman’s late 80s folky escapism of “Fast Car” captures this feeling well. Musically, it feels like it was foreshadowing things to come in 90s pop music.

While it’s not a barnburner, the song is well loved, and is sure to win over the karaoke going crowd.

“Something Just Like This” by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay

Song Year: 2017

Okay, this one might stretch you a bit. Not even Coldplay singer Chris Martin can pull it off without wavering or straining a bit, though, so if he can get away with it… you probably can too. It would be advisable to have a certain level of command over your falsetto, mind you.

As for the music, it’s quite brilliant, so far as pop / electronic music goes. The song is full of emotive hooks that grip you and won’t let go.

“Sweet Baby James” by James Taylor

Song Year: 1970

“Sweet Baby James” shows off legendary songwriter James Taylor’s ability to write memorable hooks. Short and sweet, the song is relatively easy to sing.

“The Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel

Song Year: 1965

“The Sound of Silence” is easily Simon & Garfunkel’s most recognizable. While the song opens on a somber note, it gradually picks up as it progresses. This would be a fun one to tackle with a friend and sing it as a duet.

“Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Song Year: 1974

You don’t need to be in Alabama to appreciate the classic sounds of “Sweet Home Alabama,” one of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s most recognizable.

“Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” by Bob Dylan

Song Year: 1963

Let’s face it. When it comes to Bob Dylan songs, you can get away with a lot. Dylan certainly did. Known best for his ability to write amazing songs, Dylan would eventually come to be known better for mumbling his way through his brilliantly written lyrics on stage.

“Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” is quite possibly his most heart wrenching, but it’s got both lyrical and musical hooks that stick with you.
