preferably ones people enjoy singing too, not just annoying ones. We want to have a singing time with cookies in the kitchen of our dorm, but I need a list of songs everybody knows-since my knowledge of music is abnormal in the extreme, I have NO idea what songs people would know-yall have any ideas???

Toretha, are you talking about radio songs from the 90's? From the 00's?
Here are some "alternative" songs from my playlist that are sing-along-able....
"Love Shack" by B-52's "Distance" by Cake lots of U2 songs like "When Love Comes To Town" or "Pride (In the Name of Love") "Come on Eileen" "Mrs Robinson"

Last time I was part of a sing-a-long around a campfire, it ended up all being TV theme songs (Gilligan's Island, and Beverly Hillbillies) and commercial jingles, etc.
And that was fun.
Some Beatles tunes are almost world-wide known. (We all live in a yellow submarine)
Kind of depends on the ages of the group, and what they have been exposed to, though. I know all the Mitch Miller songs, without having lived through that era, because my grandma played them constantly.

A few years ago, some educational group (perhaps a music education group) came out with a list of 100 or so songs that every American should know. Part of the point was that any child who doesn't know a good number of those songs has not been adequately educated.
Does anyone remember this list? Does anyone know where I can find it? I just remember that, although I consider myself a musician and quite music-literate, there were quite a few songs on the list that I didn't know.
Edit: I found a version of the list. It's at this page. It was originally released in 1996 by the Music Educators National Conference.
