Daydream Believer by The Monkees is Britain's top karaoke tune, according to a new survey.

The singalong hit is the number one choice across the country.

My Way by Frank Sinatra came second followed by the ladies' favourite, I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor.

Ol' Blue Eyes made the poll again at number four with New York, New York, and Robbie Williams was close behind with Angels.

The survey asked 1,000 people to name their favourite karaoke song.

It also asked for their least favourite - and Barbie Girl by Aqua topped the list.

Other tortuous tunes included Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell and My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion.

The poll was commissioned by the Hungry Horse pub chain to launch its new Karaoke Krazy competition.

The nationwide contest is raising money for the charity Cancer BACUP and the winning singer will get a £10,000 prize.

Favourite karaoke tunes:

1 Daydream Believer - The Monkees

2 My Way - Frank Sinatra

3 I will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

4 New York, New York - Frank Sinatra

5 Angels - Robbie Williams

Least favourite:

3 My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion

4 I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

5 The Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler

I thought it was common knowledge.....I was the first person in the Southeast to do karaoke in a big way......at one time I had 31 clubs a week in a 200 mile area. I am now by choice a one man operation and one of the very few that doesn't work on the cheap. I had a couple of years there where karaoke alone was bringing in 300K a year...I financed my other ventures with that seed money...I'm sick of it...I hate it....but even as a one man thing it brings in 75 to 90 k a year part time....I can't pass that up, it's one of the main reasons that at the age of 54 I can afford to be a tattooed, pierced, long haired metal guy, the token liberal scumbag in a neighborhood of white collar professional button down collar neocons....they hate me because I am a reminder of the American dream they pretend to worship, but have NIMBY about it when it comes to me......in that respect, life is good, I am a career thorn in their sides.....and all their kids hang at my house....
