Top Holiday Karaoke Tunes

By Steve Alexander


When travelling away on holiday, there's a good chance you'll want to partake in a spot of karaoke. We take a look at some of the best songs you'll be belting out this summer.

1. Livin' La Vida Loca - Old snake hips, Ricky Martin managed to charm the first lady of pop with this saucy number. Don't let the perceived threat to your masculinity this song poses put you off. Your karaoke night could end in a memorable way as you talc up and squeeze into your leather trousers.

2. Island in the sun - Weezer are an alt-rock band that managed to perfectly sum up summer in this laid-back hit. Baby animals also feature in this video. After all, nothing says sincere like a tattooed man holding a baby leopard. You can use these cuties to distract the audience from your bad moves if you're at a flashy karaoke bar where you get video too.

3. American Pie - Ladies and gentlemen, please be standing for the reigning champion of classic holiday karaoke. It's none other than Don McLean's American Pie. It's a killer; starts slow and builds to an almighty, emotional crescendo of nostalgia, heat-haze and power. If you're feeling up to tackling this biggie, make sure you programme in the McLean version - this is the only time when Madonna doesn't come out on top.

4. (I've Had) The time of my life - If you've lounged on the pristine beaches of Spain, drank sangria, fallen in love and seen some fantastic art galleries and architecture, then you certainly have. Pull this almighty tear-jerker off and you might even find a strong man to lift you high above his head, inspire some impromptu dancing down the aisles and help estranged families re-unite. You're guaranteed to have the 'Time of your Life' here.
