I thought of this post entirely because I have the Pokémon Center theme from Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver stuck in my head, and it has wriggled in over and over for months despite me hearing and actively playing other music.

Tetris
Tetris Theme A.
There are better pieces of music in this thread, but this one is the strongest earworm.
My brain defaults to this if I feel the need to fill silence with sound.
This is one of the songs I hum to myself to get rid of more annoying earworms
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.
E1M1 is great, top tier music.
The level clear screen music, E2M8, E1M8, and E1/2M9 tracks are all other top tier track contending for the throne.
Doom II introduced a few more bangers too, but I’m not as able to call the level codes to mind off the top of my head.
It’s gotta be from Final Fantasy, hard to choose just one when you got: Suteki da Ne, real Emotions, Eyes on Me, Sen no Kotoba, Otherworld, One Winged Angel, etc… there’s a reason why I love Theatrhythm. But if I had to it will probably be Melodies of Life.
Actually, I change my mind, this is the catchiest video game song.
Portal - Still Alive
Buck Bumble Theme
Goldeneye pause music
Super Mario World
It’s an old one, but the Outrun soundtrack was proper catchy.
Splash Wave, Passing Breeze, or Magical Sound Shower?
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
Minecraft by C418 lives rent free in my head. Sometimes i’ll start humming it to myself and not even realize
Lost woods.
Honestly anything from OoT, but Lost Woods, Kakariko Villiage, and Gerudo Valley in particular are ingrained into my gray matter.
DuckTales (NES) - Moon Theme. The covers are also awesome.
Red Alert - Hell March https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HUWUtTZvK4
My suggestion was Red Alert too, but from 3. I will never know the words, but the tune lives in my heart.

megalovania is one of the badasses in my book
One? Ill narrow it down to three,
These are all outstanding songs, but Lost Woods is the only one I’d describe as “catchy”
True, i agree with that. I will amend to be:
The entire sountrack from the original Toejam & Earl on Genesis, shit rewired my child brain in funky new ways
Yup
