How can I make this post not sound offensive?
Well, let’s see. You know when you go to a bar, or karaoke, or someplace where alcohol may or may not be involved and there’s that group of obnoxious drunk girls singing along with the top 40 hits of today and whatever top 40 hits that may have existed in the 90s or 80s or 70s, and they all take group pictures lined up next to each other with their bodies twisted and hands on their hips and there’s nothing to differentiate them because they all have long hair, faux tan skin, duck faces and tight skirts? (Hello, run-on sentence.) I can totally get more descriptive if you don’t know what I’m talking about, but I wouldn’t believe you if you told me you don’t know what I’m talking about.
Anyway, I’ve witnessed that more times than I’d like to remember – in person and browsing through social media. Obnoxious drunk girls singing along to all the typical white girl songs gets kinda old, BUT it’s entertaining composing a list like this to poke fun. Is that mean? Well, whatever.
But I’m not gonna sit here and bash these basic bitches without admitting to my singing of some of these songs at karaoke. It’s happened more than I’d like to admit. These songs are sung for a reason! They’re catchy and have good melodies and hooks. I guess I’ll just poke fun at myself as well. So there you go.
Here’s a list of 30 karaoke songs for that basic bitch in you.
| Alicia Keys | Fallin’ |
| Aqua | Barbie Girl |

Enjoy!
