Video Game themes that get stuck in your head.
I'm sure that this has all happened to us before. You're innocently playing a video game, cruising along, saving the world and such...All is well. Until you turn off the game and realize...
You have the same music going on inside your head. Over, and over, and over...AND IT WON'T GET OUT!
So, what video game tunes have gotten stuck in your head over the years?
Mine would have to be
The theme in Chao Garden from Sonic. Man, it just keeps on repeating...and repeating...Very fun to hum when you're walking around in a library, though. ~_^
Fairy Fountain from Zelda: Again, it just keeps on going on and on...It never stops...

Mr. James : Lost a satellite on liftoff today.
Dave : Cost?
Mr. James : 10 million dollars.
Dave : Result?
Mr. James : Extreme set back.
Dave : Milk?
Mr. James : Spilled.
Dave : Gonna cry about it?
Mr. James : Not even.
Dave : I''m sitting on a rather sharp tack.
Mr. James : That's gotta hurt.
Dave : Well, life's a bitch...
Mr. James : ...And then you die.
Dave : My...
Mr. James : ...oh...

There's this one song from FFIX that got stuck in my head. It's from the scene where [spoiler]Zidane's lost his memory and all his friends are trying to talk some sense into him.[/spoiler]
^_^ I just started humming that tune one day. Still do it occasionally...

My big one lately is Paine's (FFX-2) image song, Nemuru Omoi - it gets stuck in my head, and then I go humming it all day.
Chocobo themes tend to do that too, and so does the gummi ship theme in Kingdom Hearts and the music from City Escape in Sonic Adventure 2.

The song that plays in FFIX as the game comes up (the menu music). My cell phone ringer sounds similar to it, and so I keep humming the damn tune when my phone goes off.
"I loved you. I was a pentapod monster, but I love you. I was despicable and brutal and turpid, mais je t'aimais, je t'aimais. And there were times when I knew how you felt, and it was hell to know it. My Lolita girl, brave Dolly Schuller."

The overwold theme from Zelda 2. My father and I tried so hard to beat this game, never did. But we heard that walking around theme so often we called it the "Stay on the road" song. There's a series of 3 bars of 4 notes, and we would sing, "stay on the road, stay on the road, stay on the road." And then that sound effect would cut in and the other theme would start: "You. did. not. stay. on the road."
Things I think Are Funny Early in the Morning: If Batman were a Smurf: "Quick, Robin! We must smurf down to the Batcave and smurf the Batplane! Then we must smurf the batsmurf so we can smurf where the Joker is smurfing!"
The Croonerism Spate (explanations upon request)
Be careful with this one, there is a bit of a pun involved. Dr. Spooner described his visit to a castle: "In the center of the fortress was the Palace Court. The gated entrance to this area was the court palace."

If I play a game long enough, its music tends to stick with me in one way or another; lately, I've had the FFX-2 theme for Bevelle in my head ><

The theme for Midnight Mountain Home (look, alliteration!) in Spyro: Year of the Dragon. It's kinda haunting (complete with owls hooting!) and spooky, and if you go to bed directly after playing that game, you'll be taking a while to get to sleep.
That avatar is a self portrait. Really. Really. No matter how much it looks like D'Angelo, that's me. .... Oh, just shut up.

It was stuck in my head for days!Every freakin' song from HALO >_< i sat in class this pass year and i wouldn't stop thinking about it! Or even worse, I would start humming it! >_<

One-Winged Angel from FFVII. Luckily for me it's an awesome song, so having it stuck in my head doesn't bother me. I have the PSF file on my computer and listen to it with the speakers turned up high. Like right now. ...I scared my mom the first time I played it.
I also have Frog's theme from Chrono Trigger firmly lodged in my brain. I whistle it all of the time. Some parts of it remind me of the theme song from "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" ...But I'm just weird. >_>;

Right now, I have the opening BGM for the American release of Tales of Symphonia stuck in my head. No, I don't know what the Japanese opening is like... 
Throughout all of this past May, I had "One-Winged Angel" playing over and over again (like NameGoesHere). And throughout all of this past June, I've had "Breeze" from Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life running for several hours at a time. ^^; Other themes that I've had stuck in my head were
~"Dungeon Theme" (The Legend of Zelda)
~"Shadow Link's Theme" and "Boss Battle Theme" (The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures)
~All 5 parts of "Aryll's Rescue" (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker)
~"Crossing3084" (Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2)
Talk about pathetic! XP

Currently The Extreme from FF8 because i recently replayed it. It's the very final boss music. It reminds me of a cross between the boss music from FF4 and the intro theme in Parasite Eve "Primil Eyes"
And many tracks fom Valkyrie Profile because I'm currently playing that again. Especially the intro sequence music "Take a Flight" or something like that and "Blameless Thoughts" (music played when you clear a dungeon). This game has some of the best synth music I've ever heard.

Since my brother plays it often enough I have the Super Smash Brothers Melee themes in my head. They're pretty catchy... They don't bother me at all.
RoastedTwinkies: Of course! ^_^ The Mario themes! I love those as well. Overclockedremix.org rules!
