Top 10 Best Disney Karaoke Songs
#10: “Start of Something New” “High School Musical” (2006)
Top 10 Movies That Were Doomed From The Start
You know this song has to make the list, since it’s literally from a karaoke scene. It’s originally performed by Troy and Gabrielle when they first meet at a ski lodge party over winter break in the beloved 2006 DCOM. The tune is all about taking a chance and trying something new, which means it’s perfect for people who are making their debut on the karaoke stage. As a duet, it has a romantic aspect to it, and Olivia Rodrigo demonstrates that it also works as an empowering solo on the small screen. Whether singing alone or with someone else, you can’t go wrong choosing this song.
#9: “You've Got a Friend in Me” “Toy Story” (1995)
Top 10 Disney Songs That Shaped Our Childhood
There are a lot of things about this Randy Newman tune which make it great for karaoke night. First, its melody is pretty simple and doesn't require a lot of talent to perform. It’s appropriate for performers of all skill levels and ages. On top of that, it works as a solo, duet, and group number. Inspired by Woody’s relationship with his owner, Andy, it’s a song that’s all about friendship. Karaoke lovers looking to celebrate their pals should follow Wheezy’s lead and consider this pick.
#8: “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” “Mary Poppins” (1964)
Nostalgic for people young and old, this whimsical song is sure to be a hit with karaoke audiences. Most of us grew up watching Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke performing this number in the 1964 Disney classic, and therefore already know how it goes. Its tongue-twisting lyrics are a fun challenge, especially for people who enjoy drinking while performing for others. The titular word is particularly tricky, but there are plenty of chances to get it right. Although it works well as a solo or duet, we bet that everyone in the room will want to get involved with this one.
#7: “The Climb” “Hannah Montana: The Movie” (2009)
Top 10 Disney Songs That Topped the Charts
This pick is perfect for people with a need to sing their heart out. If you’re a fan of “Hannah Montana,” Miley Cyrus, or both, you probably already have it memorized. Since it’s from a Disney Channel franchise, the song has a strong pop feel, which makes it pretty versatile and a solid karaoke choice. Performers have the chance to make a real impact during the song’s chorus. Without being too challenging for amateurs, it builds to a compelling moment that reminds listeners that life isn’t about the destination, but rather the journey.
#6: “Love Is An Open Door” “Frozen” (2013)
Top 20 Greatest Disney Love Songs
What makes this song great for karaoke is that it's as much about acting as it is singing. Performers have the chance to put their own spin on it with their delivery and facial expressions. Harmonies are sometimes difficult to get a handle on, but these ones are pretty easy to learn. Technically, it’s a love song, but it’s silly enough that we think any two people can perform it together, no problem. The number definitely works best as a duet, so make sure to find a singing partner before taking your mic in hand.
#5: “I'll Make a Man Out of You” “Mulan” (1998)
Top 20 Hardest Disney Songs to Sing
Disney’s 1998 animated feature is full of catchy but somewhat advanced music. While “Reflection” is more of a shower jam for us, our go-to tune from “Mulan” to perform for others is definitely “I’ll Make a Man Out of You.” Admittedly, it’s not the easiest song to sing. The tempo is fast, the melody is tricky, and the many parts are hard to account for when you’re performing it by yourself. However, it's such an entertaining number that we find it’s easy to forgive technical mistakes. As long as you keep up the energy and give this song your all, it's sure to please a karaoke crowd.
#4: “Poor Unfortunate Souls” “The Little Mermaid” (1989)
How Emma Stone Prepared to Play Bella Baxter in Poor Things
“Part Of Your World” is without a doubt “The Little Mermaid’s” standout solo number, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good karaoke song. It’s technically challenging, and no one wants to compete with the likes of Jodi Benson, Sierra Boggess, and Halle Bailey. When taking a go at a song from this Disney album on karaoke night, we channel our inner baddie and perform Ursula’s wicked number. Described as a combination of Broadway and Burlesque, the tune requires a sassy attitude more than anything else. The next time you’re looking to perform a villain song, we suggest giving this one a try. If you’re someone who’s not confident in their singing voice, just remember what Ursula says:[don’t underestimate the importance of body language]
#3: “We Don't Talk About Bruno” “Encanto” (2021)
All the Encanto Songs: RANKED
Lin-Manuel Miranda created yet another top tier collection of songs when he wrote the music for the 2021 film about family. Although Disney group numbers don’t typically see as much success as solo songs, “We Don't Talk About Bruno” is considered one of the studio’s best musical tracks ever. It’s so good, we can’t help ourselves but to whip it out from time to time. The best part is, as an ensemble song, it benefits from having the crowd sing along. When performed in a group setting, every part is sure to be covered.
#2: “Hakuna Matata” “The Lion King” (1994)
It was hard to pick a single song from Disney’s Oscar winning movie, because the entire album is just so good. “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” is a beautiful duet and “I Just Can't Wait to Be King” has fantastic energy. However, in the end we had to go with the feel good number that sees Simba transition from cubhood to adulthood. It’s hard not to have fun while singing this playful tune, which is what makes it ideal for a casual live performance. If you end up singing this song yourself, remember to make Elton John and Tim Rice proud. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. “You're Welcome,” “Moana” (2016) Audiences Will Thank You for Performing This Tune “You'll Be in My Heart,” “Tarzan” (1999) Phil Collins Wants You to Sing This… Probably “Be Our Guest,” “Beauty and the Beast” (1991) Put Your Karaoke Skills to the Test With an Energetic Number “I Won't Say (I'm in Love),” “Hercules” (1997) We Will Say This Song Is a Guaranteed Hit “Just Around the Riverbend,” “Pocahontas” (1995) Those Looking for a Heartfelt Number to Perform, Look No Further
#1: “A Whole New World” “Aladdin” (1992)
Top 30 Greatest Disney Princess Songs
Thinking about Disney’s 1992 film, the Genie’s swanky ditty “Friend Like Me” is one of our favorite sidekick numbers. However, when it comes to karaoke, Aladdin and Jasmine’s duet is definitely the way to go. It’s easy to enjoy singing this song – the soaring melody and sweeping orchestration are enough to make you feel like you’re on a magic carpet ride. It’s ideal for close friends and couples wishing to demonstrate how in tune with each other they are. If you’re considering this song, it’s likely you already have a partner in mind. You can feel confident choosing this Disney duet because it never misses, especially not on karaoke night.
