Had to look up "turnt"..."Sweet Home Alabama" is the only song here I count as now and forever turnt-worthy; "American Pie" comes close. There are bunch more I like. The two Bon Jovis are the two I hate the most. I don't know three or four of them.

(Including the two in the previous post--quite content to go on not knowing them.)

i don't know if this is universally applicable, but in indiana by far the most turnt-inducing white people song was "crazy train".

just yell "ALLLL ABOOOOOARD!" and start cackling maniacally and hoosiers will absolutely lose their shit
A lot of these are okay, possibly even good fun songs, but WAY overplayed. Always liked Ice Ice Baby (bizarrely it's one of my Dad's favourite songs).

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.

As far as blanket arguments against white people go, this one I'll allow.
Should've included "Love Shack" tho.

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.
