Anna was never cuter than when singing this earnest plea to her fierce and rather frosty older sister in Frozen. It’s begging for a family night karaoke performance from a doe-eyed babe.

Though the movie hasn’t exactly held up, the wholesome aspects of this story of a free-spirited girl are captured beautifully in the lyrics and melody of the movie’s most memorable song.

11. “Feed the Birds” from Mary Poppins

This enchanting tune has a soothing lullaby sound that’s sure to hypnotize the audience (provided you have Julie Andrews’ angelic voice, that is).

12. “A Whole New World” from Aladdin

A sense of adventure and a youthful spirit are prerequisites for pulling off this classic number from Aladdin. In other words, don’t try to fake it—just hand the mic over to the tot to your right.

13. “Into the Unknown” from Frozen 2

There’s a bit of wailing in this exhilarating ditty from Frozen 2, so gargle salt water, do some voice exercises while you’re in queue and cross your fingers you can channel Idina Menzel.

14. “What I’ve Been Looking For” from High School Musical

You’ll need a partner for this ridiculous duet, originally sung by Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel, but the end result is comedic gold.

Written by Lin Manuel-Miranda and sung by Auli’i Cravalho, this hit song from Moana has the perfect tempo build up so you can warm up before you start belting it out.

Feeling romantic? See if you and your special someone can compete with Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, the original voices behind this tender duet from Tangled.

17. “Good to Be Bad” from Descendants 3

Get the whole gang on stage for this rebellious anthem (it’d be pretty hard to pull off solo) and the audience is sure to get pumped.

18. “Hakuna Matata” from The Lion King

The joyful spirit of this Lion King classic is truly infectious. Try it out as a duet or fly solo—either way it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser.

19. “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story

Another feel-good hit from a Disney favorite, this Randy Newman classic from Toy Story is wholesome and very nostalgic.

Kristie Edwards, Beyonce and Elton John, the song’s composer, have all sung this swoon-worthy romantic number from The Lion King—but don’t be intimidated, we’re sure you’ll do great.

23. “Friend Like Me” from Aladdin

It might be hard to match the amount of personality that Robin Williams and later Will Smith brought to this beloved song, but you’ll have a whole lot of fun trying.

24. “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast

Whether you prefer watching the 1991 animated original or the remake with Ewan McGregor and Emma Watson, we can all agree that Angela Lansbury and Jerry Orbach’s show stopping number has stood the test of time.

25. “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from Cinderella

This soft and melodic song from the beloved 1950 classic is best for folks with considerable confidence in their vocal talent (just saying).

26. “I Can Go the Distance” from Hercules

It’s a Michael Bolton ballad from an epic Disney movie…need we say more?

27. “Gaston” from Beauty and the Beast

Luke Evans and Josh Gad revive one of the funniest Disney tracks of all time in the live action remake of Beauty and the Beast. Grab a (deferential) sidekick, start singing and definitely don’t hold back.

28. “In Summer” from Frozen

Yet another comedic choice, any fittingly flamboyant rendition of Olaf’s ridiculous ode to summer will have the audience in stitches.

29. “When You Wish Upon a Star” from Pinocchio 

Originally performed by Cliff Edwards and rejuvenated in 2022 by Cynthia Erivo, your audience will undoubtedly give you more than crickets for this classic.

30. “Shiny” from Moana

One of Disney’s goofiest villains, Tamatoa, is the character that spews this David Bowie-inspired ode to materialism. There’s plenty of snark and serious star power behind it (think: composer Lin Manuel-Miranda and vocalist Jemaine Clement) so it’s pretty much a recipe for karaoke success.

31. “Surface Pressure” from Encanto

This explosive hit from Luisa in Encanto blows the lid off family dysfunction in the most relatable way. Let’s just say a karaoke rendition of this one will surely win you some fans (and maybe a few hugs).

Capture Julie Andrews’ vivacity and you get a free pass for screwing up the tongue twister.
