Locations for Karaoke in Melbourne
There are many locations in Melbourne where you and a bunch of friends can bust out some karaoke songs. We have compiled a list of the best locations for family friendly karaoke, bars with karaoke for adults, kids birthday karaoke themed parties and karaoke machine hirers.
Traditionally, some of the most popular karaoke songs are Billie Jean by Michael Jackson (possibly the most popular song but quite hard to sing), Dancing Queen by ABBA (usually sung in a duet), I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston (a classic but often messed up by amateurs), Wannabe by the Spice Girls (quite easy and often performed in groups), Love Shack by the B-52s (fun song which is hard to mess up), 500 Miles by the Proclaimers (super easy to sing) and I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor (classic but need to be a good singer).
So pick your song list, practice in the shower or car and unleash your inner performer at one of these locations. Click on the links for more information about each venue.
