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.

Iwatodai Dorm from Persona 3 Reload was the most recent one that really got stuck in my head, but it happens a lot for me. It’s not always video game music, but probably is a majority of the time.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week 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.

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.

The battle theme from Yakuza: Like a Dragon has been in heavy rotation on my favorites playlist for a while now.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

I just recently finished this one, and The Man Who Erased His Name shortly after that. Apparently I've been sleeping on the Yakuza series, because they're fantastic, and have amazing soundtracks.

Suicide run, Mass Effect 2.

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

It's cheating, but there was a track in need for speed carbon that was catchy as hell. Love me or hate me, by Lady Sovereign

Not technically video game music, but it's one of the few tracks in any video game that I went out of my way to find outside of a game.

[–] EarMaster@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The main theme of Papers, Please: https://youtu.be/DbBB1j5qAFs

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

Digger (1980's). It used the Popcorn song and nothing beats the Popcorn song.

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

Ever since I first heard it a few months ago, it has never left my mind for even a second.

Free by Crush 40

Sadly this great song was tied to a spin-off series killing game.

It's a recent one, but I haven't been able to get Gestral Summer Party out of my head since I first heard it in Expedition 33 last month.

[–] Nikko882@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I feel like Sea Shanty 2 from Old School Runescape is a strong contender. Even if you have never played Runescape there is a good chance you know it.

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

For me it's Gyromite: Gyromite - NES

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

The festival song or cascade theme, both from mario odyssey.

I also really like celeste's soundtrack

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week 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..."

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

for me it’s perhaps Metro Exodus end scene.

[–] con_fig@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

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