Every time you've either done or watched karaoke, there is at least one song that is done again and again. You saw it last time and you'll see it again next time. This is the list fore the most overdone Karaoke songs of all time

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" - Bonnie Tyler

I still have my mom’s vinyl copy of “Faster Than The Speed of Night”. It featured “Total Eclipse of the Heart” which was one of the first Karaoke songs I ever did. The corny lyrics rival those of Peter Cetera’s “Glory of Love” and Max Weinberg actually plays the drum kit on this album.

Once the movie Old School came out, in which the Dan Band did their own version with profanity strewn throughout it, frat boys everywhere have been trying to imitate them, and unsuccessfully so. Please don’t clap for these tools, even if it’s out of pity. They’ve ruined it for everyone.

Deavid Archuleta doing "Sweet Caroline"

I was going to look for actual footage of a karaoke performance of this song, but this was so terrible that I didn’t have any need to keep searching.

I don’t watch American Idol but, this guy is the one who won, right? I know his name which is why I’m assuming that he at least made it to the end.

This performance is a great example of why I can’t stand that program. The failed contestants are the only performances worth watching and those have lost their appeal after the second season. If this is the best they have to offer, they should just cancel this show all ready.

"Don't Stop Believing" - Journey

Actually, please DO stop believing that it’s still a good idea to keep doing this song.

It might start out as a joke but, even when it does, the song eventually gets to that point where the “vocalist” is going to try and match Steve Perry’s range and the results are hardly ever positive.

I Will F***ing Survive!!!

Is there a law saying jilted drunk girls have to sing this song?

I Touch Myself.

You know … because when you drink you start to feel “sexy”.

I've Got You Babe, Sonny and Cher

For couples karaoke, its a toss up – Islands in the Stream or I’ve Got You Babe. I haven’t eaten enough to handle Kenny and Dolly right now, so Sonny and Cher it is.

The best "Total Eclipse of the Heart" cover ever.

Swedish group, Hurra Torpedo, really puts a new spin on this song and almost makes it listenable again. Who could have foreseen that all it would take is beating the shit out of kitchen appliances?

"Sweet Caroline" - Neil Diamond

I like to believe that I’m sort of a Neil Diamond in the rough myself.

Mix it up folks, do "Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show " or “Crunchy Granola Suite”. If you are going to do “Sweet Caroline” make sure to have a group of your worthless drunk ass friends put their arms around you and sing it with you. Basically, anyone that would have the remote perverse interest of actually giving a sh** about watching you sing should be on the mic with you, leaving the rest of the crowd with a feeling somewhere between a narcoleptic episode and uncontrolled fury.

The Journey Arcade Game

Here’s footage of the Journey video game. I’d rather listen to this version of “Don’t Stop Believing” anyday.
This game was also released for Atari.

Take Me Home, Country Roads

Believe it or not, this was the most commonly sung karaoke song in mainland in China every time I have visited. This version was played alongside a Japanese artist, which would make the popularity of the song plummet in China if the Chinese ever saw this.

Any Britney Spears song ever recorded

Especially “Hit Me Baby One More Time” or “Oops… I Did It Again.” Someone always sings a Britney song.

FALLIN' by Alicia Keys

Someone undoubtedly will try to sing this and FAIL horribly.

REM: "It's the End of the World as We Know It"

Everyone . . . and I mean EVERYONE . . . tries to do this tongue-twister. Of course the only words anyone gets is “Leonard Bernstein.”

Okay, I LOVE the Hurra Torpedo doing “Total Eclipse…” even though they almost lost their pants by the end. AWESOME. You could make this Overdone Karaoke list way longer, right? “Hotel California” and “Summer of ’69” are wearing me out, LOL.
