I have duly voted a thumbs up for the backing tracks of all the songs in this thread I could find on Karaoke Version, and voted to request the video of those whose backing tracks already exist.
Please could you vote for my long list of tunes. The tracks I've italicised were not in KaraokeVersion's suggestions inventory when I checked the site before posting this, I hope to re-suggest them and will amend this post accordingly. Thanks!
