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 festival song or cascade theme, both from mario odyssey.
I also really like celeste’s soundtrack
Suicide run, Mass Effect 2.
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:
top gun! https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Vg5h85k42jU
I can never pick one, so here’s a few:
-
E1M1(Doom)
-
Hell March(Red Alert)
-
Character creation music in BG3
-
Megalovania(Undertale)
-
Coral Crown(Hades II)
Hell March! The Red Alert 2 version is the best one to me, maybe because it was the first I heard or because it just feels punchier.
The second one isn’t bad, but I like the more trash metal style and less overwhelming bass in the first.
Which I guess is why Iove Andrew Hulshult’s remake of E1M1

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.
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.
Easy answer for me, chemical plant zone from Sonic the hedgehog 2
We All Lift Together from Warframe goes fucking hard.
For me it’s Gyromite: Gyromite - NES
How has no one mentioned the tetris theme? Dum dada dum dada dum dada dum dada dum di da da da
NA NANANA NANAANANA NA KATAMARI DAMACY
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.
Minecraft by C418 lives rent free in my head. Sometimes i’ll start humming it to myself and not even realize
It’s an old one, but the Outrun soundtrack was proper catchy.
