These Boots Are Made For Walking by Nancy Sinatra could be a good one. Many crowds sing along to this one , although students probably wouldn’t even know it. 😆

Bad singers make good karaoke. No one wants to hear a really good singer. Bad singers who know they’re bad but have a lot of fun with their song are the best! This, pick a sing you like and totally go for it. Everyone will see the fun you are having and join in.

How about "Tequila"? Yes, the one where you only say the one word... If it was me it would be Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin. LOL, that's what I told my friend who got talked into singing last month. He did House of the Rising Sun instead.

Can you rap instead? Or rewrite the words to the rap to suit your situation of having to sing & not being able to so you are rapping.

I'd personally do 'mic drop, run away'. I'm glad you sang and didn't die.
Rethink : I think I'd do Chaise Longue by Wet Leg, it's more spoken than sung, wildly inappropriate though!

Consider "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band. It's more spoken-word style than sung, and it has a foot-stomping break that should get people rowdy (in a fun way). Good luck!

The number of songs on this thread that have been named that I have never heard of in my life! One thing I did learn yesterday is that if someone sings Despacito the young adults all take to the dance floor.

Back when I was a YA, many guys who "don't dance" would "slow dance," since it was basically hugging and shuffling feet.

I don't even know.

Well, I’d have to quit my job because I couldn’t do it. Or I’d have dh stand in for me as he loves karaoke and goes regularly (he’s very good). A duet that is fine to sound bad (IMO) is summer loving from grease. I’ve seen it done badly often at karaoke and everyone still seems to enjoy it. Ha. I "won" the only other time I agreed to be put in the auction and I swear I had three glasses of wine before I could even contemplate getting on stage. And I love to perform! Just not to sing . This is the only way I have sung karaoke and absolutely with friends. Congratulations on doing it. I knew one elderly gentleman who would do "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles. "Sweet Caroline" is always a winner.

Miley Cyrus' "Party In The USA" for both karaoke and any random playlist. People start dancing and singing along and no one hears you.
My friend and I who were friendly peer pressured into doing a karaoke song tricked several members of the audience into coming up with us to sing Caberet by calling for any broadway nerds to join us on stage. I don't think anyone heard a word we sang because everyone was having a good time, so much so that the DJ told on lady the speaker on the corner of the stage wasn't a stripper pole. LOL

They won’t even let me sing in church, my singing is so bad. I’d have to do “Who Let the Dogs Out”.

Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks is another where everyone will join in…if your audience isn’t too young! that's what I was going to suggest. And I would point out every student while I sang it just to make them laugh.
