I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
9 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" by Whitney Houston: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of F, 110 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with left-hand oompah bass patterns — your left hand will alternate between a low root note and a higher chord tone in a steady bounce, which gives the track its infectious drive even at a comfortable 110 BPM.
You're working in B♭ major with twelve chords, so pay special attention to the shifts between G minor 7 and A minor 7 and then into B♭ — that chromatic walk can trip you up if you haven't mapped the fingering in advance.
I'd suggest learning the left-hand bass pattern alone first until it feels automatic, then layering in your right-hand melody.
Loop the chorus separately because the energy picks up and you'll want your chord transitions clean before you add speed.
Watch the move from D minor 7 to G minor 7: keep your hand relaxed and pivot from the wrist rather than jumping.
Once that oompah groove locks in and you can feel the bounce without thinking, you'll have a rhythmic foundation that transfers to dozens of pop songs — this one really cements that skill.
