Mix tape: Scream along songs

The perfect songs to belt out any day of the week

Everyone has a group of friends with that one special song. The one song that, no matter the circumstances, everyone has to sing along to. Here are a few songs that never fail to start up a choir in the most random places.

“Don”t Stop Believin”” by Journey

This song is a powerhouse of great vocals and musical excellence. If you”re ever feeling down, just sing this song from start to finish and it”s guaranteed to turn your day around.

“1000 Miles” by Vanessa Carlton

This song is the perfect opportunity to let your inner teenage girl shine. Sing it loud, and sing it proud, even if you really only know half the lyrics.

“Hello” by Lionel Richie

From a sweet guitar solo, to the melodious tones of Richie”s voice, this iconic classic has everything you need in a love song. This blast from the past was released in 1983 and remains one of best choices for a dramatic karaoke session with friends.

“Hello” by Adele

Same title, different artist. Unlike Riche”s, this song was released just last month, and in such a short period of time it has become wildly popular. Adele hasn”t produced a hit song in a while, but this song might be her triumphant return.

“Love Shack” by The B-52″s

Goofy vocals, hilarious lyrics and chaotic instrumentation make this song the epitome of a great 80″s song.

“Hakuna Matata” by André Maia

Everyone has heard this song from “The Lion King,” and if not, they”re missing out. To quote the song, “it”s a wonderful phrase,” so why not play this one on repeat?

“Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen

This is the quintessential song of friendship. Believe me, if your friends aren”t willing to belt out this song with you in public, they”re not real friends. Singing along to this song is an absolute must, and yes, that does include shamelessly attempting to hit the high notes.
