The 10 best karaoke songs by Magic Radio
It's singalong time!
When it comes to karaoke, it's all about seizing the mic and strutting up on that stage with confidence in your stride. But most importantly, you've got to pick the right song! Here is our ultimate list of karaoke classics.
1. A-Ha – Take On Me
Our top tip: start low.
2. Communards – Don't Leave Me This Way
Our top tip: take an extra deep breath before 'aaah baby!'
3. Spandau Ballet – Gold
Our top tip: Avoid this if you're female. The key is scary-low.
4. Duran Duran – Rio
Our top tip: The lyrics in the first verse move MUCH faster than you might think.
5. Kim Wilde – You Keep Me Hangin' On
Our top tip: Begin a mass audience clap when the chorus comes around for the second time.
6. Madonna – Holiday
Our top tip: The intro lasts for 24 bars, so come up with a funky dance move beforehand to keep the audience interested.
7. Proclaimers – I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
Our top tip: do it with a mate.
8. Queen – A Kind of Magic
Our top tip: Drag a friend up with you to keep the 'It's a kind of Magic' line going in the background.
9. Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up
Our top tip: Rick roll to excess.
10. Wham! – Wake Me Up Before You Go Go
Our top tip: Come up with a dance move for the instrumental after 'we'll go home instead'. There's nothing worse than an awkward sway.
Now grab that mic, get up onstage and sing your heart out! 🎤
