Humming a game tune

**James** · 05 Apr 2003, 11:25 PM

So you're walking down the street and music pops into your head. You realize that you're humming a tune from a video game. What game is it?

For me, today, it was "Born to be Bone" from Gitaroo Man. I've also caught myself doing the "Bip bop boom" intro from Skullmonkeys on occaision, which can be kind of awkward, and various game intros.

There's a difference between favorite tunes and the ones you catch yourself running through your head or humming under your breath, or at least I've found there to be one. So what game music takes up your own internal air time?

"Precious Heart" (Sakura's theme) from the Street Fighter EX games.

Absolutely brilliant.

Also "Return" from Radiant Silvergun, as well as "There is life everywhere".

Haven't been doing that lately, mainly because I just play whatever game soundtracks (or games that have RedBook) in our in-store Dreamcast system that runs through the speakers ^_^

Sometimes I like to hum Sakura's Cherry Blossom song from SFA2, or Taki's SC theme.

Hitoshi Sakimoto tracks often pop into my head.

Today it was that awesome drumbeat from Stage 3C: Return in Radiant Silvergun (Duhn...dun DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun DUHN de DUN dun...).

"Humming the Baseline" pops into my head every once in a while. I also find myself humming a lot of tunes to Gaiares. Damn I love the music to that game.

That SFA2 Sakura theme was in my head for close to a year before I got rid of it.

...

Dammit!

(I seem to only hum Capcom tunes for whatever reason, as far as videogame music goes. They're all so catchy!)

Heh, interesting topic, if I'm whistling randomly, it tends to be "Ai no Mihata no moto ni" from Sakura Taisen 3 or Princess Yuki/Lord's theme from Ganbare Goemon.
