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.
The entire sountrack from the original Toejam & Earl on Genesis, shit rewired my child brain in funky new ways
Yup
Red Alert - Hell March www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HUWUtTZvK4
My suggestion was Red Alert too, but from 3.
Vempair Survaivors from Vampire Survivors
It’s gotta be from Final Fantasy, hard to choose just one when you got: Suteki da Ne, real Emotions, Eyes on Me, Sen no Kotoba, Otherworld, One Winged Angel, etc… there’s a reason why I love Theatrhythm. But if I had to it will probably be Melodies of Life.
Actually, I change my mind, this is the catchiest video game song.
One? Ill narrow it down to three,
These are all outstanding songs, but Lost Woods is the only one I’d describe as “catchy”
True, i agree with that. I will amend to be:
The entire soundtrack of Chrono Trigger, but Schala’s Theme is my absolute favorite. 30 years later, and i *still" let it play out in it’s entirety the first timer it plays in Zeal.
Turrican2 and GODS … Amiga :)
Tetris
Mega Man 2, Wily Stage 1: m.youtube.com/watch?v=aTbfpkByIM8&pp=ygUdbWVnYSBt…
Heck. Half the Mega Man 2 sound track is probably in the top ten.
I still credit the Wood Man stage music for providing me focus and making it through a downpour on an unfamiliar highway with construction.
Yeah, Wood Man might be my #2. Possibly Metal man, too, though.
Borderlands 1 and 2 title songs
No rest for the wicked - cage the elephant
No heaven - dj champion
From memory, but I think those are right
Short change hero lives rent free in my head
Neon White OST
bfg division? maybe the katamari theme song.
i play a lot of shmups and their songs are often stuck in my head, most recently some stuff from raycrisis. fire emblem warriors songs get stuck in my head as well.
you might like !shmups@lemmus.org if you are not already subbed to it
been there for a hot minute! solid little group.
Forgot about this one! You are correct
Turtle Woods from Crash Bandicoot 2 has never left me ever since I first played it on the PS1.
Megaman 2 Wily stage 1
I’ve got 3 that I randomly hum in my head every now and then.
Great picks, Castlevania and Mega Man are my top 2 fave soundtrack franchises.
for me it’s perhaps Metro Exodus end scene.
I’m locking my answer in on the old Minecraft music. Literally EVERYONE knows it.
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.
Iunno how this wasn’t mentioned, but Payday 2 has a lot of catchy / going-hard songs.
Gonna leave 3:
Tim Follin:
Solstice Silver Surfer Time Trax Pictionary
Hell yeah, Tim Follin is a god.
“Tim, would you mind making the music for our Ghouls and Ghosts Commodore port?”
“No problem, here’s 9 full length tracks spanning 22 minutes including a 4 minute long title screen song. I hope that’s enough. I hope I got the screams right…”
Naaaaa na-na-na-na-na-naaaa na na, na na na-na naaaaaaaa!
Also Unbreakable Determination from Ninja Gaiden 1.
Hell March from Red Alert
I can hear this comment
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
The main theme of Papers, Please: youtu.be/DbBB1j5qAFs
Here a little late with some certified bangers in no particular order:
Monty on the Run - Main theme (Commodore 64)
Sonic CD [JP] - Quartz Quadrant (Present)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Wandering Ghosts
Looked for someone to mention Mega Man. You picked a good one, but I’ll add the opening intro theme for Mega Man 2 for my catchy pick.
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.
Baba Yetu - Civ IV (+)
Hyrule Castle - Breath Of The Wild (+)
Lorule Castle - Link Between Worlds (*)
One Final Effort - Halo 3 (*)
Golem King - Moonlighter
Song of the Ancients - Nier Series (*)
Dragonborn - Skyrim
Far Horizons - Skyrim (+)
Dragon Roost Island - Wind Waker (*)
Nate’s Theme - Uncharted (*)
Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy (*)
Korobeiniki - Tetris (+)
Gerudo Valley - Ocarina of Time (+)
Colgera Battle - Tears of the Kingdom
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
Lost woods.
Honestly anything from OoT, but Lost Woods, Kakariko Villiage, and Gerudo Valley in particular are ingrained into my gray matter.
