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

All versions of moon over the castle from the gran tursimo series, the version from GT4 goes hard.
Hang On main theme tune is excellent. The soundtrack to Hang-On and Super Hang-On are both top tier.

Iunno how this wasn't mentioned, but Payday 2 has a lot of catchy / going-hard songs.
Gonna leave 3:
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
🤘
Naaaaa na-na-na-na-na-naaaa na na, na na na-na naaaaaaaa!
Also Unbreakable Determination from Ninja Gaiden 1.
Tim Follin:
Solstice
Silver Surfer
Time Trax
Pictionary
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
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
Lost woods.
Honestly anything from OoT, but Lost Woods, Kakariko Villiage, and Gerudo Valley in particular are ingrained into my gray matter.
Literally anything from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
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:
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.

Suicide run, Mass Effect 2.
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.
I recently obtained a unicorn of a CRT and have been replaying this
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
How has no one mentioned the tetris theme? Dum dada dum dada dum dada dum dada dum di da da da
Back when groceries were cheaper, I would hum that while putting items on the belt to get scanned.
Tetris Theme A.
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
Minecraft by C418 lives rent free in my head. Sometimes i'll start humming it to myself and not even realize
We All Lift Together from Warframe goes fucking hard.
The Stupendium made an Outer Worlds song called The Fine Print that also goes hard af for either setting imo.
It's an old one, but the Outrun soundtrack was proper catchy.
Splash Wave, Passing Breeze, or Magical Sound Shower?
The festival song or cascade theme, both from mario odyssey.
I also really like celeste's soundtrack
Opening theme of Civ VI. It‘s Songno di Volare nade by Christopher Tin.
Baba Yetu is also great
This guy studies the old magicks
Does the Wii shop music count as a video game song?
DuckTales (NES) - Moon Theme. The covers are also awesome.
A lot from Undertale. Personal favourite is Spider Dance.
Other than this, The Trumpet 4 is catchy as heck.
Mine Windbag Mine is also incredibly catchy as heck, Darren Korb is super talented.
megalovania is one of the badasses in my book
