10. Baby Got Back – Sir Mix-A-Lot Yeah, THAT Baby Got Back, the big butt (and I can’t lie) rap from the 80s … at the piano bar. It is true. People don’t necessarily request songs at the piano bar that have a lot of piano, they just request songs that they like, and people LOOOOOOOVVEE this hymn to swag. This song invariably results in many women storming the stage to shake what their moms gave them and everyone from baby to grandmother seems to know all of her words.

9. Friends in Low Places – Garth Brooks The only country song on the list, this Garth Brooks song will have anywhere to shout OOOOAAAASIS at the right time. Even customers who say they hate the country will sing along with it.

8. Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond Hardly anyone can resist singing the chorus and trumpet line on it. This song transcends age groups and styles and has remained consistently popular for over 40 years and shows no signs of slowing down. If anything, it is more popular now than ever.

7. Crocodile Rock – Elton John Elton John is one of the piano music giants of all time and has many frequently requested songs, but none more so than this early 1950s-style rocker. A fun Elton song with a great singing part. Sing la la la la la in your highest voice.

6. Livin ‘on a Prayer – Bon Jovi Bon Jovi’s biggest hit chorus will make any room sing at the top of its lungs. This is an opportunity to sing when you need to increase the energy in the room.

5. You shook me all night – AC / DC Another song that surprises for its good performance in the piano bar. The original is a scorching rocker from AC / DC’s Back in Black album, but in the piano bar setting it turns into upbeat singing.

4. Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen This song from the Queen’s Night at the Opera album is one of the most unlikely hits of all time. There’s no chorus or hook to speak of, it travels through a few different parts before swinging towards the end. Although the lyrics don’t always make a lot of sense, people everywhere can sing every word, including all the scaramouches and fandangos.

3. Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison One of the most famous sha la choirs of all time. This Van Morrison tribute to his favorite type of girl is like the Energizer Bunny of pop songs, it just goes on and on and on …

2. Piano Man – Billy Joel Like Elton John, Billy Joel has many songs that are constant hits at the piano bar, it’s easy to see why Billy spent the early part of his career playing piano bar in New York. This song chronicles what he saw night after night from his place at the keyboard, which are the same things that most still see as piano bar entertainers. A timeless classic outside the piano bar, but at the piano bar it’s a theme song made to be sung out loud. And drunk if possible.

1. Don’t stop believing – Travel The top spot belongs to this Journey classic that gets more requests than any other song right now. You know how it goes, admit it, you’ve probably yelled “Just a small town girl” in the car more than a couple of times.
