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 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.

Which I guess is why Iove Andrew Hulshult's remake of E1M1

the counterpoint to me not liking a song from a Video Game because it of its association with Internet Culture has to be something other than "get out more"

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

wrote on 24 May 2025, 14:11 last edited by wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.worksMy 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)
-
Bloody Tears - Castlevania (*)
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 the song THIRTEEN YEARS LATER:
Ω) Town Theme - Final Fantasy II
