What are the shortest karaoke songs? (lemmy.world)

I like going to karaoke bars with my friends, but so many songs have problems:

They're fun for the first 2 verses and chorus, but then they keep going, or
They include some really long instrumental break in the middle, where I just have to kinda tap dance

What are some karaoke songs that don't have these problems? Looking for songs that are

short: Below 4 min if possible. Maybe even below 3?
no instrumental break

Thanks Lemmy!

Convoy by C.W. McCall is my go-to "fine if I have to karaoke" song. Fairly short, no long instrumental breaks, it's fun, and absolutely no one sees it coming.

I wanna be your friend, i fucking love that song but then again convoy is my all time favorite movie.

"They should make more movies out of country songs".

[Earl, Joy, and Randy proceed to sing the chorus to Convoy]

Probably the greatest gag in My Name is Earl.

I would never have thought of that, but it would be awesome!

I'd like to be able to pull off "Classified" by C.W. McCall. Two and a half minutes of slightly melodic, high speed storytelling. I think Convoy would be more well known and far easier.
