Some songs are legends in plain sight. Others are hiding in the shadows, just waiting for a hero.
Every karaoke night, our stage is home to some certified classics. We hear a lot of “Tennessee Whiskey” (and we love it!), and a whole lot of “Take Me Home Country Roads.” But somewhere in our massive karaoke catalog, there are legends in the making, just waiting for the right voice to bring them back to life.
We’ve been digging through the Anthem Archives and unearthed a few forgotten gems. These aren’t just songs but musical time capsules that deserve to be dusted off and belted out once again.
Here are 5 forgotten karaoke anthems that need to make a comeback, and a few reasons why you should be the one to do it:
1. “Take on Me” – a-ha
- Why it needs a comeback: That high-pitched chorus is the ultimate vocal challenge, and when someone nails it, the whole bar goes wild. It’s a pure ’80s shot of adrenaline and a great way to show off your vocal range (or at least your courage!).
2. “Love Shack” – The B-52’s
- Why it needs a comeback: This isn’t a solo act; it’s a group mission! With its wild energy and call-and-response lyrics, it’s the perfect chaotic anthem for you and your crew. It’s an instant party starter, guaranteed to get everyone on their feet.
3. “Man in the Box” – Alice in Chains
- Why it needs a comeback: For the rockers who want to show off their grunge guts! This is a powerful, heavy anthem with a killer guitar riff. It’s for when you want to get serious, tap into that raw emotion, and remind everyone that we’re a ROCK karaoke bar.
4. “Africa” – Toto
- Why it needs a comeback: The ultimate power ballad that everyone knows but no one ever sings. This is your chance to shine. It’s got a slow build, a massive chorus, and a sense of triumphant melodrama that’s just perfect for the spotlight.
5. “Come On Eileen” – Dexys Midnight Runners
- Why it needs a comeback: This one is just pure, unadulterated fun. It’s impossible not to smile when this song comes on. It’s a ridiculously catchy anthem that’s not too hard to sing and will have the whole crowd clapping and dancing along. It’s a guaranteed good time.
