FNK ExFiles – Breakup & Heartbreak Songs

Friday Night Karaoke
About this episode

It's Episode 70 of the Friday Night Karaoke Podcast, and the theme was Breakup & Heartbreak Songs!

Valentine’s Day is over... and love is so last week. This week on the Friday Night Karaoke Podcast, Mike and Joe are diving headfirst into the FNK ExFiles—a heartbreak-fueled, soul-baring, sometimes hilarious, and always powerful collection of breakup and heartache songs brought to life by the amazing FNK community. It’s the ultimate anti-Valentine’s celebration, packed with raw emotion, witty revenge anthems, and the kind of karaoke therapy we all need from time to time. Whether you’re nursing a broken heart or just love a good breakup jam, this episode is guaranteed to hit all the right (and wrong) notes—in the best way possible.

FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE ALONGSIDE HOSTS Mike Wiston AND Joe Rubin:

  • Janee Luts D'Ippolito kicks it off with a hauntingly beautiful version of "Creep" by Radiohead. Moody, emotional, and absolutely gripping.

  • Anthony Gorby Sr tugs at the heartstrings with "I Can Still Make Cheyenne" by George Strait. Classic country storytelling at its finest.

  • Angel Lark lets loose with "Love Stinks" by J. Geils Band. It’s bitter, it’s bold, and it’s a total bop.

  • Mike Wiston brings the dramatic flair with "Somebody Kill Me" from The Wedding Singer. Darkly hilarious and oddly relatable.

  • Karen Pavkov says exactly what we’re all thinking with "No More F***s to Give" by Thomas Benjamin. It’s cheeky, empowering, and a total mood.

  • Eric Dubrofsky offers some heartfelt healing with "It'll Be Okay" by Shawn Mendes. Gentle, soothing, and full of hope.

  • Dana LaValle turns the tables with "Gives You Hell" by The All-American Rejects. A perfect revenge anthem with serious singalong energy.

  • Kevin Parish Sr closes the show with a punchy and fun cover of "The Breakup Song" by Greg Kihn Band. A retro jam that still hits hard.

So grab some ice cream, throw on your best breakup playlist vibes, and join us for an episode that proves heartbreak sounds a lot better with a mic in hand. Let’s karaoke those ExFiles—FNK style!
