Top 12: Videogame Earworms
Orbit Ball Theme (WarioWare Touched!)
This theme caused me nightmares - I had it caught in my head for years without being able to locate it, before someone finally helped me out after I remade the entire tune in a MIDI synthesizer. WarioWare always had great music, but it's the theme to one of Touched!'s little hidden minigames that has to win it for me thanks to how often I end up humming it.
Every so often, a piece of music in a videogame is so catchy, it will stick with you for life (even when the game itself doesn’t). It might be a good track, or it might be awful – and so might the game that brought it to you.
These are the 12 tracks that have done it for me. Whether I like them or not, I keep hearing them. Bear in mind that this is all opinion. I’m also excluding non-original music (eg licensed soundtracks), ambience, single riffs etc.
