If you are with your Korean co-workers, "자옥아" is a song that's both fairly popular among late middle aged people and incredibly easy to sing. The same goes for "아파트". They also have the benefit of not only being nice songs in general, but also being miniature Korean grammar lessons in themselves, able to help you grasp some of the lower-level concepts of the language in a fairly natural way due to their simplicity.

Shook me all night long - AC/DC. I love the look Koreans give me when I attempt to sing like Brian Johnson!

Proud Marry CCR

Anarchy in the UK Sex Pistols.

If you don't like Noreabang sing Light my Fire . That long solo in the middle will insure you never get asked out again.

One by Metallica followed by Like A Virgin usually amuses people.

That depends;

If I'm with some friends, Metallica "Enter Sandman" and Megadeth "Symphony of Destruction"


If I'm on a date, Brian McKnight "Back at one"

I've learned that putting on "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion will get everyone singing along, whether they like it or not. Adding booze to the mix always helps.

'Gay Bar' by Electric Six. Always the best song in the book!!! Short and sweet and you won't get asked to sing again.
I've sung/murdered it many times.

I like doing whiny, high-pitched ballads in the most nasal voice I can muster.

Oh no, I forgot, I'm not Korean.

If I want to annoy everyone else there - Paranoid Android

If it's for me - Reptilia

To get the party started Twist and Shout, followed by Hey Ya.

I got a couple of Korean ones too for showing off.
