I have never, ever done karaoke. And since I don’t drink anymore, I doubt I will ever have the guts to get up in front of a crowd and try to sing. If I could be convinced, however, it would probably have to be something requiring a narrow vocal range. Maybe . . .
And while I have never sung karaoke, I have sung along with the rest of the crowd to this song at a Cake concert, an experience I highly recommend.

Lots of the karaoke places around ATL are Japanese style - meaning rather than being in an open bar, you rent a room with friends and sing your hearts out… Used to be it was just a night at the local bar (my first intro to it back in the 90s)… I prefer this, cause it’s much easier to sing poorly in front of a group of friends vs. a group of strangers…

I’ve never done the karaoke but if I did, since I doubt they’d have any Bauhaus on tap, I would look for Depeche Mode. One of the sexy ones.

Most places just have an internet connection that you can access youtube… if someone made a Bauhaus karaoke video, it’ll be accessible… She in parties, anyone!
A whole ass goth karaoke channel!
And punk…
All our cultures have been gentrified now!

This specific version of Cher’s The Way of Love as performed by Brave Combo, one of the best live bands I have had the luck to see many times.
Levi Stubbs Tears by Billy Bragg (really, most of his old stuff, it’s therapy for me sing along with).
CW: get your hanky ready… but The Old Miner is so beautiful:
… and is The Green Fields of Canada:
(it’s not that I’m a fantastically good singer, I just enjoy singing these)
One or two things by Hubert von Goisern und die Alpinekatzen.
Yodeling is always fun.
I’d need the phonetically written lyrics for it, but I sometimes stumble-sing along in the car to this, Tsetsegmaa’s voice is amazing and the content (as it was explained to us in the audience) is transcendent:
Some Spinal Tap’s catalog, or from the B52’s catalog.
Some Austin Lounge Lizards, maybe some Weird Al, for comic relief, like this Swinging Erudites’ cover (ok ok it’s a parody) of Living on a Prayer.
Sorry it’s thematically all over the place but my brain (and I guess my heart) are like that.
ETA:
I forgot about Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Oops. This one:
