What are the shortest karaoke songs?

I like going to karaoke bars with my friends, but so many songs have problems:

  • They’re fun for the first 2 verses and chorus, but then they keep going, or
  • They include some really long instrumental break in the middle, where I just have to kinda tap dance

What are some karaoke songs that don’t have these problems? Looking for songs that are

  • short: Below 4 min if possible. Maybe even below 3?
  • no instrumental break

Thanks Lemmy!

Convoy by C.W. McCall is my go-to “fine if I have to karaoke” song. Fairly short, no long instrumental breaks, it’s fun, and absolutely no one sees it coming.

Junkers_Klunker,

I wanna be your friend, i fucking love that song but then again convoy is my all time favorite movie.

“They should make more movies out of country songs”.

[Earl, Joy, and Randy proceed to sing the chorus to Convoy]

Probably the greatest gag in My Name is Earl.

I would never have thought of that, but it would be awesome!

I’d like to be able to pull off “Classified” by C.W. McCall. Two and a half minutes of slightly melodic, high speed storytelling. I think Convoy would be more well known and far easier.

morphballganon,

Many Beatles songs are short. Yesterday’s not too hard.

Some Beatles songs are very hard, e.g. Oh! Darling.

I was also going to suggest that as a joke because it’s 95% instrumental break.

Same with Brooklyn Recycles by Brooklyn Funk Essentials. All instrumental, except for "I support recycling". :-D

It’s 95% awkward dance solo! 🤣🤘🏼

@toofpic Song 2 is fun because it is only 2 minutes long and you can basically shout it tunelessly and still have a good time.

Short Attention Span - Blink 182

dont_lemmee_down,

Of the top of my head go with “Norwgian Wood” by the Beatles. Barely above 2 minutes with a single instrumental break of 15 seconds (which because of the shortness is actaully 12% of the song)
