This guy studies the old magicks

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.

1. Baba Yetu - Civ IV (+)

2. Hyrule Castle - Breath Of The Wild (+)

3. Lorule Castle - Link Between Worlds (*)

4. One Final Effort - Halo 3 (*)

5. Golem King - Moonlighter

6. Song of the Ancients - Nier Series (*)

7. Dragonborn - Skyrim

8. Far Horizons - Skyrim (+)

9. Dragon Roost Island - Wind Waker (*)

10. Nate's Theme - Uncharted (*)

11. Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy (*)

12. Korobeiniki - Tetris (+)

13. Gerudo Valley - Ocarina of Time (+)

14. Colgera Battle - Tears of the Kingdom

15. This Song - The Witcher 3 (It's the song Aen Seidhe, but without vocals)

16. 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

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.

Hell March from Red Alert

I recently obtained a unicorn of a CRT and have been replaying this

Naaaaa na-na-na-na-na-naaaa na na, na na na-na naaaaaaaa!

Back when groceries were cheaper, I would hum that while putting items on the belt to get scanned.

Splash Wave, Passing Breeze, or Magical Sound Shower?

Also Unbreakable Determination from Ninja Gaiden 1.

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

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

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

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

for me it’s perhaps Metro Exodus end scene.
