    my hot take is that even though portal is a masterpiece this song is so cringe because i associate it with unfunny “the narwhal bacons at midnight” type redditors

      You need to get out more.

      The song is a masterpiece on it’s own.

      I feel like the association of Portal with that era and that type of person, even though I think most of them probably became different people with age, makes the song a little harder to enjoy. Sorry to the composer, it is not your fault. Similarly, I think maybe the same thing happened with Undertale. I think I played before the fandom got a bad reputation, so it and its songs are not quite tainted in my mind, but if I came in after I saw the fandom, I might like the work less through no fault of the composer.

    There are better pieces of music in this thread, but this one is the strongest earworm.

    This is one of the songs I hum to myself to get rid of more annoying earworms

    My brain defaults to this if I fell the need to fill silence with sound. It’s like it’s implanted into my Brian as the “default” song.

    For some reason the SMB2 theme song is stuck in my head all the time. Something about the jazziness of it.

  • Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

  Portal - Still Alive

  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)

  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

      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

    Baba Yetu is also great

  It’s an old one, but the Outrun soundtrack was proper catchy.

    Splash Wave, Passing Breeze, or Magical Sound Shower?

    source
• LordGimp@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Lost woods.

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

  How has no one mentioned the tetris theme? Dum dada dum dada dum dada dum dada dum di da da da

  Doom E1M1 on my soundblaster and my Roland MT-32, all pumped through my surround sound system in my concrete dorm room in late 1992 and I won’t hear otherwise.

  source

  • Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    E1M1 is great, top tier 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.

    Also Unbreakable Determination from Ninja Gaiden 1.

    source
• HarvesterOfEyes@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I can't pick just one, honestly. Aside from the Tetris theme and World 1-1 from the original Super Mario Bros., I consider these to be not only catchy but also iconic:

  • Guile theme for SSF2
  • Rip & Tear from DOOM (2016). A modern day classic, imo
  • Brinstar from the original Metroid
  • Hail to the king, baby

  source
• psx_crab@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  A lot from Undertale.

  Other than this, The Trumpet 4 is catchy as heck.

  source
• faltryka@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  The entire soundtrack from FTL is fantastic and catchy and full of ear worms.

  Literally anything from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

  source
• WatDabney@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  As far as Pokemon goes, I’ve always been partial to the Team Galactic battle theme from DPPT. And though “catchy” doesn’t quite do it justice, the night theme for Jubilife City, also in DPPT, is tremendous. Walking into that city for the first time at night was one of the defining moments of my video game life.

  And the Shiver City theme from Paper Mario is unforgettable.

  I don’t think anything will ever beat Still Alive from Portal though.

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

  • thermal_shock@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yup

    source
• JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  One? Ill narrow it down to three,

  1. Aquatic ambience (DKC)
  2. Stickerbrush Symphony (DKC)
  3. Lost Woods (TLoZ Ocarina of Time)

  source

  • BreakerSwitch@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    These are all outstanding songs, but Lost Woods is the only one I’d describe as “catchy”

    source

    • JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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)

  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.

  • Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    source

    • Underwaterbob@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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