"Karaoke Plays" is a song by English rock band Maxïmo Park. It is the fourth and final single released from their second studio album, Our Earthly Pleasures. The single was released on 3 December 2007. Among the single's B-sides includes a cover of Justin Timberlake and Clipse's "Like I Love You", of which the band originally recorded for the compilation album Radio 1: Established 1967, released three months earlier celebrating the fourtieth anniversary of BBC Radio 1 singing on air.[1]

The music video for "Karaoke Plays", of which the band doesn't appear in, was directed by Amy Neil and in the first half, depicts a group of couples traveling and making out on a Double-decker bus, and in the second half, arrive at their intended location, a beach, and party and continue their activities there for the remainder of the video.[2]
