There is definitely a sort of meta thing I notice when people do a lot of these songs in karaoke where they're not just performing the fantasy of being Jon Bon Jovi but performing the fantasy of being the cool party person who karaokes Bon Jovi.

Also, a pretty good approximation of perpetual karaoke hell if you add "Jack and Diane" and "Baby Got Back."

Might be a regional thing, but "Wagon Wheel" seems to be a pretty big bar band drunken singalong tune here.
