I thought of this post entirely because I have the Pokémon Center theme from Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver stuck in my head, and it has wriggled in over and over for months despite me hearing and actively making other music.

Yeah that’s why I didn’t link it. I can hear the riff and even play the riff on guitar on a moments notice
Friend says “play me something” and I immediately play that riff

Iunno how this wasn’t mentioned, but Payday 2 has a lot of catchy / going-hard songs.

All versions of moon over the castle from the gran tursimo series, the version from GT4 goes hard.

Hang On main theme tune is excellent. The soundtrack to Hang-On and Super Hang-On are both top tier.

My time has come. As someone who almost exclusively listens to instrumental soundtrack from movies and games, including from games I have never played, these are the ones that most often get stuck in my head (in no particular order). A plus “+” indicates a song that got stuck in my head regularly before I ever played the game, while an asterisk “*” indicates a song that still gets stuck in my head, despite being from a game I have never played at all.

This Song - The Witcher 3 (It’s the song Aen Seidhe, but without vocals)
But finally, the song that I credit with making me obsessed with instrumental soundtrack, because I fell asleep with it playing on repeat for a whole night at the age of 5, and then lost the game cartridge, so I forgot what it was from, and which I would get stuck in my head roughly once a month throughout my entire childhood until I finally found it THIRTEEN YEARS LATER, :
Ω) Town Theme - Final Fantasy II

my hot take is that even though portal is a masterpiece this song is so cringe because i associate it with unfunny “the narwhal bacons at midnight” type redditors
Elevator7009@lemmy.zip 2 hours ago
I feel like the association of Portal with that era and that type of person, even though I think most of them probably became different people with age, makes the song a little harder to enjoy. Sorry to the composer, it is not your fault. Similarly, I think maybe the same thing happened with Undertale. I think I played before the fandom got a bad reputation, so it and its songs are not quite tainted in my mind, but if I came in after I saw the fandom, I might like the work less through no fault of the composer.

You need to get out more.
The song is a masterpiece on it’s own.

Honestly anything from OoT, but Lost Woods, Kakariko Villiage, and Gerudo Valley in particular are ingrained into my gray matter.

Man the soundtrack alone could get me to play Katamari games. I got a birthday gift card recently and was deciding what game to get, when one of the OSTs came up on YT Music and I listened to it for like a week straight. Immediately got We ❤️ Katamari + DLC on 80% sale.
Could scream that shit in my car honestly.

Doom E1M1 on my soundblaster and my Roland MT-32, all pumped through my surround sound system in my concrete dorm room in late 1992 and I won’t hear otherwise.
Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 14 hours ago
E1M1 is great, top tier music.
The level clear screen music, E2M8, E1M8, and E1/2M9 tracks are all other top tier track contending for the throne.
Doom II introduced a few more bangers too, but I’m not as able to call the level codes to mind off the top of my head.

I can't pick just one, honestly. Aside from the Tetris theme and World 1-1 from the original Super Mario Bros., I consider these to be not only catchy but also iconic:
