Suggestions Wanted, songs for family singalongs

What's Hot
RockerRocker Frets: 5003
in Making Music
As per title, I need inspiration for songs that our family can sing along to.  Songs that work are: Dock of the bay,  When you walk in the room, No woman no cry.

What is needed is more songs in that spirit - some that have recognisable and playable riffs [like When you walk in the room], songs that will help my wife's niece learn chords on the keyboard and songs that have lyrics on the internet where they can be accessed on an iPad.

If you know of such songs, please add the band or singer name on your favourite version if there are more than one released.

Thanks.

    Stand By Me - Ben E King

    Super simple, instantly recognisable bass line. Same thing all the way through mostly aside from the strings building throughout, and everyone knows at least some of the words already.

    For a better attempt at this .... I might suggest:

    • Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire. (Not sure about the lyrics for a young 'un).
    • Ben E King - Stand By Me.
    • The Beatles - Yellow Submarine.
    • Pharrell Williams - Happy.
    • Nile Rogers/Daft Punk - Get Lucky. (Not sure about the lyrics for a young 'un).

    A quick mix of old and new, but all relatively straightforward.

    Any Country song ever written. Hank Williams?

    You need an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.

    is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
