If you have 4-5 guys: "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys
If you have 3-4 guys: "Greased Lightning" from the musical Grease
If you only have 2 guys: "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler
If you are singing alone and want to rock: "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams
If you are signing alone and want to make sure nobody looks at you the same ever again: "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha...!" by Napoleon XIII
Napalm Death - You suffer.
I personally think it drags on a bit too long for karaoke.
Probably Don't Stop Believing, Home For A Rest, or Baby Got Back.
Honourable mention to Firestarter and Sandstorm

What do you say ? Karaoke exists outside of the Like a Dragon series ?
Sweet Caroline. It's impossible for the audience to resist shouting "BOP BOP BAAAAA" during that song.
Also, I think I've only heard that song during karaoke. I never hear it anywhere else...
Not sure about the best overall but one of my favorite karaoke memories is a metalhead friend of mine performing Weird Al - White & Nerdy.
It seems everyone in my circle really like Uptown Girl by Westlife, it's like mandatory song.
Literally anything you like!
I personally have a strong leaning towards rock music groups from the 90s to 00s ish. Such as "Linkin Park" and "Papa Roach". I also like newer bands such as "Starset" and "Project Vela". I just can't do the screaming parts haha.
Random side note: And... if I could stop being lazy maybe I'll make more karaoke videos on YouTube haha. (I try to make ones for my favorite songs that don't have karaoke videos for it yet.)
What makes a good karaoke song is based on your audience. It should be something you think many of the people in the room would know, and could maybe sing along to. It doesn't have to be a song they consciously like, just know. Most of the time not too slow. You see too many people getting up and doing something that's technically impressive but not enjoyable for the audience, like a deep cut from a musical.
If you're not a good singer: Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. It's fast enough that you should know the words without reading them, but it's pretty much talk-singing and doesn't require much vocal range. For the doo-doo-doo part, it's pretty high but everyone will sing along with it.
Also Say it Ain't So by Weezer will get the whole bar clapping and stomping and signing along.
If you know the actual lyrics then Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot

With karaoke you usually see the lyrics on a screen, but good song nonetheless
There's reading the lyrics and knowing the lyrics with all the intonations and timing. This is especially true with rap lyrics where if you're just reading it, it just sounds bad.
Yeah everyone thinks they know a hip hop song until they get to the verses
Besides what’s already been listed,
- Chasin That Neon Rainbow
- Sold
- Fishin In The Dark
- Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy
- Margaritaville
- Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl)
- Take It Easy
- Boot Scootin Boogey
- Sweet Home Alabama
Ocean’s Avenue is mine!! It’s so goddang catchy and easy to sing! It’s part of my soundtrack to high school<3
But my REAL answer is Take Me Home, Country Roads. Everyone sings that one :)
