\t\t«We Belong Together» by Mariah Carey<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cPrice Tag\u201d by Jessie J <\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tThe perfect early 2000s karaoke song. No explanation needed. <\/p>\n
\t\t\u201cWhen I Grow Up\u201d by Pussycat Dolls<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cAll I Do is Win\u201d by DJ Khaled feat. Ludacris, Rick Ross, T-Pain, and Snoop Dogg<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cDon\u2019t Stop Believin\u2019\u201d by Journey <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tAn Adele song is always good in my book.<\/p>\n
\t\t«Oops! I Did It Again» by Britney Spears<\/p>\n

\t\t«Pretty Hurts» by Beyonc\u00e9<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tYou’ve discovered through trial and error that Queen Bey both has the range (too high) and the speed (too fast). It’s almost impossible to pull off any of her other songs, but this slower self-love jam is actually within reach, even for us Bey-non-c\u00e9s out there. <\/p>\n
\t\t«Eternal Flame» by The Bangles <\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tThis ’80s classic used to be so ubiquitous it was verboten in the karaoke cave, but when’s the last time you heard it ’round the traps? Exactly. Don’t worry about that high note at the end\u2014nobody is paying attention to you anyway.<\/p>\n
\t\t«Wuthering Heights» by Kate Bush<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tIt’s very tricky to sing, but the best thing about this song is that inevitably, two of your friends will put it in the queue and you can use one of those times to go to the restroom. The other best thing is the interpretive dance everyone does together. Just by trying it\u2026you cannot fail.<\/p>\n
\t\t«Maps» by Yeah Yeah Yeahs<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tKaren O’s pleading modern torch song for her former boyfriend, The Liars’ Angus Andrew (legend has it the title is an acronym for «My Angus Please Stay»), somehow got on every karaoke bar’s list, and now it’s pretty much the only way to close out the night.<\/p>\n
\t\t«Killing Me Softly With His Song» by The Fugees<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tJust try not to sing along.<\/p>\n
\t\t«Don’t Dream It’s Over» by Crowded House<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tTired of everyone jumping in on your tracks? Try this beautiful ballad, which everyone kind of but not really knows\u2014even though Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus once covered it while wearing animal onesies. Mic will be all yours, baby.<\/p>\n
\t\t«Bad Romance» by Lady Gaga<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tDon’t know the lyrics? No problem. You’ll figure it out by the end.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tGet your BFF to do the harmonies with you.<\/p>\n

\t\t«Super Bass» by Nicki Minaj<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tNote: This is a very advanced-level choice, but if you can nail it, you’ll definitely earn the night’s MVP award.<\/p>\n
\t\t«Kiss From a Rose» by Seal<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tWho cares what it means. Everyone knows it!<\/p>\n
