    You are the karaoke grand master if you can keep up with this one. Your friends will all bow down to you after it's done.

    Highlight: "Chickity China the Chinese chicken."

    16. Fast Car- Tracy Chapman

    Via youtube.com

    A beautiful song that everyone loves to sing along to...and also a great impersonation song if you could pull off a good Tracy Chapman.

    Highlight: "I remember when we were driving driving in your car. The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk."

    15. Waterfalls- TLC

    Via giphy.com

    Left Eye's verse in this is a classic. Your friends will all cheer you on after you finish it.

    Highlight: "Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers
    And the lakes that you're used to."

    14. Barbie Girl- Aqua

    Via tumblr.com

    Bust a move like Barbie to this classic 90's jam.

    Highlight: "Come on Barbie, let's go party! (Ah-ah-ah-yeah)"

    13. All Star- Smash Mouth

    Via youtube.com

    The song that was sung at every talent show in 1999 and the song that you will use to crush the karaoke competition.

    Highlight: "Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb."

    12. Baby Got Back- Sir-Mix-A-Lot

    Via giphy.com

    C'mon, this wouldn't have been a 90's karaoke list without this one. It's a staple at high school dances and weddings and should be a part of your karaoke arsenal.

    Highlight: "My anaconda don't want none
    Unless you've got buns, hun." also, the entire intro.

    11. Semi Charmed Life- Third Eye Blind

    Via tumblr.com

    The happiest song about drugs that there ever was. Your friends will literally lose their minds when you sing this one.


    Highlight: Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo.

    10. Wannabe- The Spice Girls

    Via giphy.com

    The Spice Girls are one of the best pop groups ever and this is one of the best pop songs ever. Also, if you can do the Scary Spice kick, you're golden.

    Highlight: "Zig a zig ah"

    9. Genie in a Bottle- Christina Aguilera

    Via giphy.com

    The dance moves are perfect, the melody is catchy, and you get 20 points if you can somehow find an awesome beaded shirt to shimmy in during this number.

    Highlight: "My body is saying let's go. But my heart is saying no"

    8. No Scrubs- TLC

    Via giphy.com

    TLC gets two spots on this list because both of these songs are karaoke crowd pleasers.

    Highlight: "Wanna get with me with no money
    Oh no I don't want no (oh)"

    7. MMMBop- Hanson

    Via giphy.com

    Best karaoke challenge. Someone should buy you a drink if you nail the chorus.

    Highlight: "Mmmbop, ba duba dop
    Ba du bop, ba duba dop
    Ba du bop, ba duba dop
    Ba du, yeah
    Mmmbop, ba duba dop
    Ba du bop, Ba du dop
    Ba du bop, Ba du dop
    Ba du, care"

    6. Closing Time-Semisonic

    Via icanhascheesburger.com

    It may be THE best song of the 90's. It's also perfect to sing in a room full of twenty somethings who can now fully understand the meaning of the song.

    Highlight: "I know who I want to take me home!"

    5. Posion- Bell Biv Devoe

    Via fanpop.com

    The intro? Fantastic. The chorus? Insanely amazing. The rap during the bridge? All kinds of yes.

    Highlight: "Girl I must warn youuuuu"

    4. Higher-Creed

    Another great impersonation style song. All of your friends will enjoy chiming in with their own impersonation of Creed singer, Scott Stapp.

    Highlight: "Can you take me Higher?"

    3. Zombie- The Cranberries

    Via tumblr.com

    The only way to perform this is to do your best imitation of The Cranberries' lead singer, Dolores. I promise you, it's the only way.

    Highlight: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh"

    2. Waiting For Tonight- Jennifer Lopez

    Via giphy.com

    This song is a serious jam. Also, if you can dance as majestically as JLo does in the music video, you will successfully seduce everyone at the bar. (This applies to all genders.)

    Highlight: The "Oh!" in "Waiting for Tonight, oh!" (It's pretty epic.)

    1. The Thong Song- Sisqo

    Via giphy.com

    No other song rivals this song...no other. If you sing this one, I guarantee that your friends will find a way to throw thongs at you while you do it.

    Highlight: "She had dumps like a truck, truck, truck."
