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 playing other music.

The entire sountrack from the original Toejam & Earl on Genesis, shit rewired my child brain in funky new ways

My suggestion was Red Alert too, but from 3. I will never know the words, but the tune lives in my heart.

Vempair Survaivors from Vampire Survivors

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

One? Ill narrow it down to three,

  1. Aquatic ambience (DKC)
  2. Stickerbrush Symphony (DKC)
  3. Lost Woods (TLoZ Ocarina of Time)
[–] BreakerSwitch@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

These are all outstanding songs, but Lost Woods is the only one I'd describe as "catchy"

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

True, i agree with that. I will amend to be:

  1. Lost Woods (TLoZ Ocarina of time)
  2. Song of storms (TLoZ Ocarina of time)
  3. SMW Overworld Theme (Super Mario World)
[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] oyzmo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Turrican2 and GODS .... Amiga :)

Mega Man 2, Wily Stage 1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aTbfpkByIM8&pp=ygUdbWVnYSBtYW4gMiB3aWx5IHN0YWdlIDEgbXVzaWM%3D

Heck. Half the Mega Man 2 sound track is probably in the top ten.

[–] Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I still credit the Wood Man stage music for providing me focus and making it through a downpour on an unfamiliar highway with construction.

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, Wood Man might be my #2. Possibly Metal man, too, though.

[–] weissbinder@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Borderlands 1 and 2 title songs

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

No rest for the wicked - cage the elephant

No heaven - dj champion

From memory, but I think those are right

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Short change hero lives rent free in my head

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

Neon White OST

[–] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Elevator7009@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

[–] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

...there's one clear victor and it's not even close...

[–] LongboardingLad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Forgot about this one! You are correct

[–] con_fig@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Turtle Woods from Crash Bandicoot 2 has never left me ever since I first played it on the PS1.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Megaman 2 Wily stage 1

[–] goombakid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've got 3 that I randomly hum in my head every now and then.

  1. Mega Man 2 - Airman stage
  2. Jet Set Radio - Humming the Baseline
  3. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - Daytime Town Theme
[–] Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Great picks, Castlevania and Mega Man are my top 2 fave soundtrack franchises.

[–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

for me it’s perhaps Metro Exodus end scene.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm locking my answer in on the old Minecraft music. Literally EVERYONE knows it.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] Metju@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

Gonna leave 3:

  1. Hot Pursuit
  2. Evil Eye
  3. The Mark

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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!
