Instrumental version of Tequila
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. A jaunty little sea shanty about a ship sinking in a storm and killing everyone on board.
It's a banger though, as long as everyone in the bar is over 35.
I sang that two nights ago, at our local open mic. Went over very well, but then again the average age was probably over 70.
Wouldn't work as I'd be singing along

Urgh just whatever I think might be fun at the time, it's always bad
I repeat the last song.
Or anything from an obscure screamo band.

Baby Shark, followed by Wonderwall.
The Mountain Goats' "No Children", but very intensely.
I would be so hyped that someone is playing The Mountain Goats in public I would probably join in.

Right now, as someone not from the US, star spangled banned would ruin the evening more than anything else I could think of. Everyone can recognize it, arguments would follow.
Somebody that i used to know
Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt would work to kill a hyped up mood.
Saw this irl once. Two dudes, totally tone-deaf decide to sing Aqualung by Jethro Tull...
...as a duet.
Same bar had a dude that would sing Disney princess songs every night. He never went home alone.
Shout out to Dante's in Seattle!
Alice’s restaurant- Arlo Guthrie
If that kills the vibe, you got the wrong crowd.
I worked with a 17 year old once who knew the entire lyrics to Alice's Restaurant and would recite them, not sing them, in the most deadpan voice.
I miss that guy.
We Are the World which might be fine if everyone in the bar was fifty-plus, but wouldn't work today.
Tequila
Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love - the original album version where there's around 20s of motorcycle sounds and vocals start around 1:50.

Woman Is The N***** Of The World

Had a woman invite me out to karaoke, but I don't think we're compatible long term so I'm taking notes from this thread.
In the UK any of the below should do the trick, with the added bonus of possibly getting you stabbed and/ or glassed:
Gary Glitter - My Gang
Rolf Harris - Jake the Peg
Lostprophets - Last Train Home
