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.
Tetris
One? Ill narrow it down to three,
- Aquatic ambience (DKC)
- Stickerbrush Symphony (DKC)
- Lost Woods (TLoZ Ocarina of Time)
These are all outstanding songs, but Lost Woods is the only one I'd describe as "catchy"
Turrican2 and GODS .... Amiga :)
Mega Man 2, Wily Stage 1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aTbfpkByIM8&pp=ygUdbWVnYSBtYW4gMiB3aWx5IHN0YWdlIDEgbXVzaWM%3D
Heck. Half the Mega Man 2 sound track is probably in the top ten.
I still credit the Wood Man stage music for providing me focus and making it through a downpour on an unfamiliar highway with construction.
Borderlands 1 and 2 title songs
Short change hero lives rent free in my head
Neon White OST
bfg division? maybe the katamari theme song.
i play a lot of shmups and their songs are often stuck in my head, most recently some stuff from raycrisis. fire emblem warriors songs get stuck in my head as well.
you might like !shmups@lemmus.org if you are not already subbed to it
been there for a hot minute! solid little group.
I've got 3 that I randomly hum in my head every now and then.
- Mega Man 2 - Airman stage
- Jet Set Radio - Humming the Baseline
- Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - Daytime Town Theme
Great picks, Castlevania and Mega Man are my top 2 fave soundtrack franchises.
Turtle Woods from Crash Bandicoot 2 has never left me ever since I first played it on the PS1.
Hell March from Red Alert
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
Klepacki is an excellent score writer
🤘
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.

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
All versions of moon over the castle from the gran tursimo series, the version from GT4 goes hard.
Iunno how this wasn't mentioned, but Payday 2 has a lot of catchy / going-hard songs.
Gonna leave 3:
Naaaaa na-na-na-na-na-naaaa na na, na na na-na naaaaaaaa!
Also Unbreakable Determination from Ninja Gaiden 1.
for me it’s perhaps Metro Exodus end scene.
Here a little late with some certified bangers in no particular order:
Monty on the Run - Main theme (Commodore 64)
Sonic CD [JP] - Quartz Quadrant (Present)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Wandering Ghosts
Looked for someone to mention Mega Man. You picked a good one, but I’ll add the opening intro theme for Mega Man 2 for my catchy pick.
I'm locking my answer in on the old Minecraft music. Literally EVERYONE knows it.
Lost woods.
Honestly anything from OoT, but Lost Woods, Kakariko Villiage, and Gerudo Valley in particular are ingrained into my gray matter.
Hang On main theme tune is excellent. The soundtrack to Hang-On and Super Hang-On are both top tier.

Tetris Theme A.
My brain defaults to this if I feel the need to fill silence with sound.

NA NANANA NANAANANA NA KATAMARI DAMACY
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.
