Get ready for the next blowing party and learn the 16 best karaoke songs for bad singers.
Let’s first begin with some fun facts. You probably do not know the origins of the word “karaoke.” Karaoke is a Japanese word which can be translated to something like empty singing with an orchestra (kara-empty, oke-orchestra). Karaoke was “invented” in the seventies by Daisuke Inoue who made a first karaoke machine so that he could “teach people how to sing.” The other reason Daisuke invented karaoke is that, as he says, he was the worst musician ever, and while playing drums at a local bar in Kobe he wanted to make his life easier by creating a machine that could do the work for him. Back then he couldn’t have dreamed that his invention would become one of the most popular entertainment devices.
