Preferably with me as far from the stage as possible. In fact, I'm staying home. Enjoy.

Beautiful song
“All I want for Christmas is You,” but only from March to August.
Edit: Except for the 4th of July, which is a twelve minute version of the National Anthem.
We don't have to dance - Andy Black
Lesser known song, but right in my range. It has an ironic message as long as you're clearly having a good time at the function.
I have several, depends on the crowd.
Careless Whisper -George Michael, This Love -Maroon 5, Drops of Jupiter - Train, Someone Like You -Adele
with or without a crappy midi version of sirius leading up to it?
Erasure - Respect
I've done karaoke once, and the song I chose was Blink-182 - All the small things.
So, I guess that's my go-to song.
Nutshell by Alice in Chains
Under the bridge- Chili peppers
Jeremy - Pearl Jam
I will survive - Cake
I'll do a lot, but I'll often start with Wagon Wheel, because it gets people singing along, and once they're singing, they're signing up to sing.
Sometimes people need encouragement.
Easy by the Commadores
Biz Markie - Just a friend
Baka Mitai and Love in Kamurocho.
I don't go to karaoke bars.
Karaoke is like Dick Pics.
Never do it.
No
Green Onions.
El Sonidito also a solid choice.
Feels like the first time - Foreigner
If you really want one that gets everyone in the room singing:
I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys
Burma shave by tom waits
