Possibly throw in a few Bob Marley songs too. Jammin and Redemption Song.

Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw - Jimmy Buffett

and I actually saw it on the play list out in the Hutt somewhere - you gotta admit they have class out there in the Hutt Valley.

The only way to do karaoke is to do a goofy song that everyone knows. If you try to be serious people will laugh at you, not with you.

I did "hit me with your best shot" by Pat Benatar at a staff party recently, 'twas a hit.

Other suggestions include:
Don't Stop Believing-Journey
Any Way You Want It-Journey
Jack and Diane-John Mellencamp
You Give Love A Bad Name-Bon Jovi

And pretty much every other bon jovi song. They all work.

just a small town girl
living in a lonely world
she took the midnight train going anywhere
 
Just a city boy
South detroit born and breed
he caught the midnight train going anywhere

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Well I do remember being sh*tfaced in Singapore once and singing The Gambler in a Karaoke bar. It didn't take me much persuading either.

Saw a guy get up at a bowling club karaoke and sing "Anarchy in the UK" in a very sexpistolian styleee! When he finished a very elderly bloke got up and said to him "Son, I don't know if that was good or bad but it's the nearest thing to high art this place will ever see..."  
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

I am nut for The gambler, dont even have to be too pissed to try it. But if i am really hammered, i go for Bohemian Rhapsody. the great thing is you can butcher the song completly and no-one cares, as nobody expects you to get even close to freddy mercurys singing style but they all appreciate the effort.

I wouldn't. Last time I went to K Club, I almost jumped out the window. Lucky the music system broke that night before I did...
