People value different things as to make a karaoke song “the best”; recognizability for the audience, how easy it is to sing, difficult passages to show off your vocal chops, not getting kicked out of the venue instantly,…

Blind Guardian - The Bard’s Song
The ones I regularly go for
- Sober - Nanowar of Steel
- Murmaider - Deathklok
- We Got The Moves - Electric Callboy
These songs help the digestion by non-metalheads by being very funny. Sometimes I just do a singalong with the official music video (Batmetal Returns for Murmaider) so people have something funny to watch as well.
Also
- Bard’s Song: In The Forest - Blind Guardian
But it’s more of a folk song than a metal song.
ah that’s good intel, I hadn’t considered the humour element!
You Suffer by Napalm Death. It’s good because it’s pretty short, and the lyrics are quite simple.
Here are some I enjoy:
- Mother - Danzig
- Anthrax - Caught in a Mosh (not in a public karaoke venue, too long, but at home or with friends, banger)
- Sugar - System of a Down
- Pump It - Electric Callboy
Damn, can you even sing Sugar anywhere close to Serj’s shenanigans?
Sort if. I mean, I’m nowhere near the vocalist Serj is. Not even close. But I give it all the emotion and enthusiasm it deserves. love that song. Singing it is so cathartic
Black Sabbath’s Paranoid. Easy to get into to, gives room for your vocals to find their own way into loud territory, and it’ll almost always sound awesome.
Ace of Spades and Breaking the Law
It’s Ace of Spades and it’s not even close.
Dragula by Rob Zombie. Catchy and well known.
Fucking easy. If you got the pipes for it, the correct answer is
If you can get the low guttural “eaten…” And get the responses while keeping your breath, You’ll get the whole crowd in.
Hahaha I would LOVE to see someone do this for karaoke
A bar somewhere has an Instagram video of me crushing it some years ago. 🤘
The trooper - Iron Maiden
Saw a guy in a wheelchair do Angry Again by Megadeth and he killed it. So I’d say that lol
Chic ‘N’ Stu - System of a Down
Also the prison song!
Such a stone cold classic.
For real! And it’s educational too! And you can duet it as well
I can’t growl, so I’m going with all of the songs from Opeth’s “Damnation”.
Beelzebub Showdown - Tenacious D
I’d say the easiest is “From skin to liquid” by Cannibal Corpse 😉
