Much like laser tag to Barney Stinson, I’ll never turn down a night of karaoke, and you can regularly catch me at my local spot Wednesday nights.
I’ve always thought it would be a fun idea to make a list of songs I’ve done for karaoke, so I scrolled through my iTunes one day and typed them out, then have continued to periodically add to the list. I’m always open to new suggestions.
I’ve sorted them alphabetically by the artist’s first name, for what it’s worth. For someone who is in a boy band, I’m actually surprised there isn’t more 90’s pop on here. Anyway, enjoy the list!
