“Umbrella” by Rihanna

Song Year: 2007

I will be honest and put it in here that I’m not a big Rihanna fan, but there are plenty of people out there who are, and “Umbrella” might just be the song you’ve been trying to nail down. When you want to let your friends know how much you care, and how important they are to you, this is the song.

“Wannabe” by Spice Girls

Song Year: 1996

If it’s “Throwback Thursday” at the bar, then it’s hard to imagine a better song to pull out of the archives than the Spice Girls’ “Wannabe,” especially if you’re headed to karaoke with friends!

Some people seem to remember the Girls as everything that was wrong with pop music, but their music had true substance, and this song is a good reminder of that fact. I’m sorry if you love today’s top 40, but I would take this over anything new.

“Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield

Song Year: 2004

British singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten” is no doubt one of the most inspirational songs of its time, and it’s best remembered as the theme song to the reality TV show The Hills.

It’s a great song, to be sure, but the chords in the chorus always confuse me. I have a hard time telling whether the melody is supposed to be major or minor. Maybe I’m just being picky. Plenty of people love this song, and it’s sure to win them over at karaoke night.

“What’s Love Got To Do With It” by Tina Turner

Song Year: 1984

“Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll” Tina Tuner delivers a passionate, powerful performance on “What’s Love Got To Do With It.” I don’t know what love has got to do with it. What I do know is Tina can make anything work. I can’t see too many female singers pulling this one off with the grace that she did.

“Wind Beneath My Wings” by Bette Midler

Song Year: 1988

“Wind Beneath My Wings” is Bette Midler at her inspirational best. It’s a versatile song, too, because you can dedicate it to a friend, or even a significant other.

“Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus

Song Year: 2013

If melodrama is your thing, Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” should be right down your alley. This era Miley is clearly not my thing, but if you like it, nothing is stopping you from giving it a go.

“You’re Still The One” by Shania Twain

Song Year: 1997

Long-term romantic relationships may be a rarity in this day and age, especially for the famous, but Shania Twain sings about her successful partnership in “You’re Still The One.” It’s admirable, really. And if your significant other is “still the one,” be sure to sing this song to them every once in a while, to let them know. They’ll be touched.

“Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears

Song Year: 2016

Britney Spears’ debut hit “Baby One More Time” is in the very fabric of culture and was even recently in the headlines because Kate Upton chose it as her song for Lip Sync Battle against Ricky Martin.

People point to Upton’s performance as being raunchy, but Spears herself was only 16 at the time of the release of this tempting hit, and in the music video, she donned a provocative schoolgirl outfit too.

“Jolene” by Dolly Parton

Song Year: 1974

Well, while we’re not too sure about Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” being a karaoke banger… we do know that it’s one of her most recognized hits. And while it’s been said before, this Jolene woman sure must have been something special for Parton to have felt threatened by her.

“Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood

Song Year: 2005

I could never quite figure out if this was a song about taking pre-emptive revenge or dumping an unfaithful boyfriend, but oh well… Confusing lyrics aside, Carrie Underwood’s country pop of “Before He Cheats” gets the job done, especially at the karaoke bar!

“Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen

Song Year: 2012

Maybe it’s just me but if you’re planning to sing a Carly Rae Jepsen song anyway, it may as well be one of her most remembered. And while the lyrics to “Call Me Maybe” are little more than silly, flirtatious fun, there is a real song underneath. Strings? Guitars? In pop music? Nonsense!

“All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor

Song Year: 2014

Some may be drawn to Meghan Trainor’s thinly veiled euphemism of “All About That Bass,” although I’ve got to tell you I’m not one of them (I don’t even like the vocal style). Interesting that this song was a mere foretelling of things to come in top 40 pop music.

Anyway, if the vintage influenced pop of “All About That Bass” jiggles your junk in the trunk, I’m not here to judge.
