The worlds most infectus songs

[David_Landriault]

Let's talk about songs that very easy get suck in your head. Right now I have Forget You suck in my head.

[Rauten]

1)It's "stuck", not "suck". Ew.

2)Wrong forum, methinks?

[Fanbuoy]

2)Wrong forum, methinks?

Thank you, it bugged me but I would hate to be "that guy".

But on the topic, I would have to say Köppäbävisan.

[DaftPunk]

Lets turn this related to games,so the last song from game which was stuck for quite some time was main theme song from new Deus Ex,it was really epic shit.

[LTK]

For a moment I was wondering wheter you liked the Deus Ex theme or not.

The tune that I've most recently added to my music list was Botanicula's ending theme. It's sublime.

[Fanbuoy]

Yeah, Botanicula has a few gems. I've made "Yuchu" my wake-up signal.

As for game songs that won't let go, Empire Earth's intro has apparently left quite an impression on me, as I still hear it from time to time. I did play it a whole lot back in the day.

[DeathPig]

AoE II theme music. Awesome!

[Fanbuoy]

Oh, and let's decide on focusing on original music for games. Otherwise, I'll just end up listing GTA soundtracks.

[unruly]

Just Do It Up or Mechanical Man from the C&C95/Tiberian Dawn soundtrack. Or Hell March/Hell March 2 from Red Alert and Red Alert 2, respectively. Hell, pretty much anything from the C&C games prior to C&C Generals. I've got a few of them on my mp3 player and whenever I listen to them at least one of them gets stuck in my head for at least the rest of the day.

For non-game related songs, but similarly nerdy and doubly embarrasing, the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme is something that will pop into my head and then drive me nuts for the next week. I still love the guitar work in the song.

[ado]

I remember the original Deus Ex title theme very clearly, but can't recall the HR one at all. Anyway the TF2 main theme and all it's variations are constantly buzzing around in my head.

[sabrage]

"Suck Infectus" is a great band name.

[Wheelz]

the various theme music's from Battlefield 2. The turkish sounding stuff was awesome, and I can still hum the majority of it.

[DHP]

Zia's theme, Bastion. I also find myself humming Tetris tunes every so often...

[Voon]

Of all the Half-Life soundtracks that tend to get stuck into my head, I'd say I remember this one the most:

Catchy as fuck

[Tikey]

I had Homeworld 2's Battle Keeper theme stuck on my head for a long time:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btXnl7AGFg0

[airtekh]

Zia's theme, Bastion.

A thousand times this.

I was humming it for days after finishing the game.

[djbriandamage]

I've had the closing credits song for Delphine's Flashback in my head since yesterday.

[Timofee]

Surprised no-one has mentioned the Civ 4 theme


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQfa5E1o_tc

Ooh and SWOS

(apparently I'm not allowed to embed two videos so instead I'll just link)

Also bonus points for anyone that remembers this from Amiga Power:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN_XVeNI1Bs

It's a SKULL!!

[FunnyB]

I remember the original Deus Ex title theme very clearly, but can't recall the HR one at all.

The original Deus Ex song was really badass, but Michael McCann's "Icarus" is really epic as well.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiN6t7K7txw

Makes me think of the old trailer everytime.

Everyone at the same time now:
"I didn't ask for this..."

[Trelow]

Footloose.

Best Friday @ 16:55 song ever.


It's game related because that's what I'm doing after I cut.

[pakoito]

Half of Zelda's classic soundtrack. Skyrim's main theme. Super Mario Bros. And that song from Kill Bill Vol. 1 when Ellen whistles at the hospital.

[ColOfNature]

Game music doesn't tend to stick for me, but whenever I hear this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHPOzQzk9Qo) I always spend the rest of the day whistling.

[sabrage]

Christ, Col, just reading the title of that video got it stuck in my head.

[Kaira-]

Speaking of whistling...

[Hordriss]

+1 for the Monkey Island theme (and also the MI2 Phatt Island jail music).

[Doodier]

Main theme from Morrowind for me. I even exchanged Oblivion music with the one from Morrowind after some time.

[BenWah]

The original Hawaii 5-0 theme song

[Rauten]

I see your Monkey Island 1 and raise you a Monkey Island 2 (MT-32)... BONE DANCE!!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHgRlsOvN3M

MI1 was very good, but it was MI2 that captured me.

[alms]

MI1 was very good, but it was MI2 that captured me.

See? we're not opposites :P

[mizzu]

chocobo song from the final fantasys

[FunnyB]

I got to add another one...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8cELTdtw6U

Just lovely!

[DHP]

Here's something from a few (many) moons back that I thought I'd dredge up:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gggp9JkY1Pk

[fiddlesticks]

Good call on the Monkey Island soundtrack. Ah, nostalgia.

And to add something a bit more recent:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp3qiOKuEBM

[khaz]

From the Super Robot Wars series of TBS games, man the Japanese do epic music pretty damn well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUrMAC1w8ns (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUrMAC1w8ns)

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4mb1BEbWDQ&list=FL9FWPm8voVZSv72QMThcA9Q&index=16&feature=plpp_video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4mb1BEbWDQ&list=FL9FWPm8voVZSv72QMThcA9Q&index=16&feature=plpp_video)

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRPKQlpz5tI&feature=related (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRPKQlpz5tI&feature=related)


Oooh, oooh and then there's this. This tune makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, it seems to capture that feeling of "O SHIT THERE'S A GIANT DEATH SKULL AFTER ME" feeling really well! From Secret of Mana:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHqy0n_VQJc&list=FL9FWPm8voVZSv72QMThcA9Q&index=25&feature=plpp_video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHqy0n_VQJc&list=FL9FWPm8voVZSv72QMThcA9Q&index=25&feature=plpp_video)

[Tikey]

And to add something a bit more recent:

VVVVVVV

So much this.
That song was stuck in my head for weeks after playing.

[internetonsetadd]

Zombies On Your Lawn


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N1_0SUGlDQ

[khaz]

Haha, Zombies is a great track. Did you see the video where she recorded it live on her webcam? Few people fit the description of cute as a button but Laura Shigihara sure as hell does.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqpMFsnN7hM

[internetonsetadd]

Almost posted that one instead. ;)

[Wheelz]

awesomeness.

+1.

I played it alot in an Arcade back in the day.

[ColOfNature]

I finally thought of a game related one, but it was too late. The thread was over (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BchDZue9LeE) and all that was left were fading echos.

I downloaded the sheet music ages ago. When I get round to learning the piano this will be one of the first pieces I learn.

[Nalano]

We all live in a yellow submarine...

[Drayk]

+ 1 for Monkey Island.

Cheesy but this one always gets stuck in my head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqNp3WstIpE

[Lacessit]

All time classic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUy8uX7thJ4

AND catchy too!

[David_Landriault]

Dang did not know that people liked so much monkey island before. I never even herd it until two weeks ago and now it is every where! lol

[Bhazor]

@ Lacessit

How dare you assault us with that terrible remix.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-gI_pFog0

[Tres]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ5bp6tGMj4

And lot of Trine stuff too.

[7hink]

I might just give Monkey Island another go. I also like to mention Loom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfUO2mBDoEI). Loved the music in that game.

[Boris]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution's Icarus theme
Mass Effect 1's Main Theme
The soprano version of Red Alert 3's theme (from the expansion IIRC)
Trine's Main Theme
Trine 2's It's a Snake
Frozen Synapse Red's The Forgiven Geometry

And a lot more. I really like video game music.

[fiddlesticks]

Another classic.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg0Tmydj29M

[fiddlesticks]

And something a bit more light-hearted.

@ Lacessit

Not to be pedantic, but you didn't listen to what I posted. :-)

Hell march, sure, but a Russian march about bears and vodka? Better.
