three classic rock songs<\/a> from the 1980s that are perfect for your next karaoke performance. They offer a chance to spread your vocal wings and soar, and a chance to relive the odd 80s all over again!<\/p>\n\u201cTotal Eclipse Of The Heart\u201d by Bonnie Tyler from \u2018Faster Than The Speed Of Night\u2019 (1983)<\/p>\n
This song is big, emotive, emotional, swelling, and soaring. It\u2019s also something of a caricature of itself at this point. But that\u2019s what makes it so much fun to sing at karaoke. Once a track garners several billion streams, it\u2019s bound to have some unintentional comedy as part of its story. So, sing this one and pretend not to be the Most Passionate Person On Earth! <\/p>\n
\u201cLove Shack\u201d by The B-52\u2019s from \u2018Cosmic Thing\u2019 (1989)<\/p>\n
This is one of the most fun songs of the 1980s and perhaps of the 20th century. Classic rock was flipped on its head when it came out of The B-52\u2019s. It was made into a warm, cartoonish experience thanks to the joy and creativity from the Athens, Georgia-born band. Sing this song and watch the room light up with happiness. <\/p>\n
\u201cTime After Time\u201d by Cyndi Lauper from \u2018She\u2019s So Unusual\u2019 (1984)<\/p>\n
This might be the most nostalgic song of all time. No matter how old you are, it makes you think of when you were younger. It makes you think of the past, when you were vibrant and vulnerable. Oh, how the world would come to shape you. Oh, if you could only go back in time and fix a few things\u2026 sing this song at a karaoke bar and see everyone drift away into their memory banks. <\/p>\n
