1. Barbie Girl (1997) – Aqua

Come on, how could we make a list of funny karaoke songs without first mentioning the legendary “Barbie Girl?” It first came out in 1997 as mostly a joke, but the song is now loved by everyone all over the world for its funny and easy to sing along to lyrics.

The popularity of this song only increased thanks to the release of the extremely successful 2023 Barbie movie that I absolutely loved. Maybe life in plastic really is fantastic.

Another song that we just couldn’t leave out from this list is “Hey Ya!” by OutKast. This song is sure to bring the energy to any karaoke song as soon as it starts playing. With its catchy beat and memorable lyrics, it’s a go to for anyone wanting a good time with their friends.

4. Drop It Like It’s Hot (2004) – Snoop Dogg

Literally, any Snoop Dogg song would make for a perfect karaoke song. However, “Drop it Like It’s Hot” is just in a league of its own. Not only are the lyrics easy to remember, but the song itself has a major vibe,

5. I’m Too Sexy (1991) – Right Said Fred

6. I’m on a Boat (2001) – The Lonely Island ft. T-Pain

The Lonely Island has been pumping out comedic bangers for over two decades at this point, and “I’m on a Boat” has to be their best one. I don’t think there are too many songs that are as fun to sing with your friends as this one.

7. Never Gonna Give You Up (1987) – Rick Astley

NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN! While I have a history of getting Rock-rolled by the people I trusted the most, you have to admit that this song, even without all the memes, is extremely fun to sing. Hey, it helps that we all know the lyrics already.

8. Bohemian Rhapsody (1975) – Queen

Whereas we all know the lyrics to “Never Gonna Give You Up,” the same can’t be said for the next entry on this list. “Bohemian Rhapsody” is considered to be one of the best songs of all time for its innovative approach to music. However, it isn’t exactly easy to remember all the lyrics, at least for me.

9. Africa (1982) – Toto

Here’s another legendary song that’s an absolute banger. Fun fact: when this song first came out all the way back in 1982, the band hadn’t ever really been to Africa before. This just makes the entire song all the more hilarious to me.

10. Stacy’s Mom (2003) – Fountains of Wayne

If you’re under 18 then you might want to skip over this entry. “Stacy’s Mom” is a rather inappropriate song, I admit. However, isn’t that what makes singing it with your friends at a karaoke song that much more fun? This has to be one of the most funny karaoke songs out there.

13. All Star (1999) – Smash Mouth

Made famous because of both Shrek and the countless memes made from this song, “All Star” has to be one of the funniest karaoke songs out there. It really helps that the lyrics are really easy to remember too.

No matter how many singers come out and get fame in the music world, for me, Britney Spears will always be a tier above the rest. “Hit Me Baby One More Time” is one of the best songs to sing at a karaoke while surrounded by friends. Time to get in tune with your inner teenager while singing this classic.

16. Wannabe (1996) – The Spice Girls

17. Dance Monkey (2019) – Tones and I

If you’re like me and even though you had to listen to “Dance Monkey” on the radio countless times you didn’t get bored of it somehow, then I definitely recommend you give it a shot the next time you’re at a karaoke. Hey, if anything, maybe it’ll get some people riled up to make for a good time.

18. Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1983) – Cindi Lauper

27. Sweet Dreams Are Made of This (1983) – Eurythmics

All it takes is one person to say sweet dreams are made of cheese instead of this to get everyone laughing their butts off. Unfortunately, I went years without knowing I was singing the song right, which made for some rather funny karaoke moments.

This might have been a song about Vanilla Ice flexing back when it first came out, but now it’s so silly that it gets everyone laughing when they hear it.

35. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go (1084) – Wham!
