I wouldn't sing (or want to sing) Rule Britannia. Firstly, I'm a dreadful singer, and secondly, this is 2020 not 1820. However, should a turn on the karaoke become unavoidable, I usually plump for reciting the mockney monologue in Blur's 'Parklife'.
What's your karaoke 'classic'?

Re: Rule Britannia (and other karaoke classics)
Bohemian Rhapsody, but need to be very drunk.
I recall a rugby trip to Paris back in the 80s where the bar had a piano and I attempted to play it as well as sing.

Re: Rule Britannia (and other karaoke classics)
No, never, never will, never have sung karaoke
Can’t sing either and can’t imagine anything more frightening

Re: Rule Britannia (and other karaoke classics)
Mostly classic rock 'n' roll, or Sultans of Swing, but I sang them with a live band. We had a "proper" singer who did the stuff that required actual singing.

Re: Rule Britannia (and other karaoke classics)
Usually something by The Doors cos that is about my range and includes a bit of shouting now and again . Plus I know the words.
