...that has actual lyrics? And on that note, what the fuck is she even talking about?

When you walk away
You don't hear me say,
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

You're giving me too many things
Lately, you're all I need.
You smiled at me and said,

"Don't get me wrong, I love you,
But does that mean I have to meet your father?"
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said,
"No, I don't think life is quite that simple"

Listen here to the superior remix version.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Still Alive from Portal?

 

[Inuhanyou]

there are tons of different remixes that are superior.

I prefer passion in general though.

 

[Painguy]

Tetris or Mario Bros Overworld

 

[Glix]

First post is the correct answer.

Edit - snake eater also comes in above op song

Edit 2 - Gonna take you for a ride

Edit 3 - Indestrucable

 

[Rebel Leader]

Still alive

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

The Skyrim theme is up there too

Katamari Damacy is really famous too, but certainly more obscure than Portal, KH, and Skyrim.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

SNAAAAAAAAKE EATER

 

[DNAbro]

As far as lyrical songs yeah probably. I can't think of anything more iconic.

 

[Toki767]

Of the songs that have lyrics, probably.

 

[FadedRevolution]

Rules of Nature

 

[valkillmore]

Still Alive

 

[Glix]

Tetris or Mario Bros Overworld

I dont know whats worse, that you didnt read the op or your terrible typo that made me think of Operation Wolf

 

[jstripes]

There's that word "iconic" again.

 

[Chronus]

First one that comes to mind is Still Alive from Portal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI

Even City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2 seems more appropriate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6NaZrPQGfY

 

[Purple Cheeto]

I can't even tell you what game it's from nor can I whistle it or repeat the lyrics from memory so I'm gonna say no.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Tetris or Mario Bros Overworld

Once again proving that experimental post a while ago that people don't read the first post was right on the money.

Literally the first fourwords.

.that has actual lyrics?

Rebel leader got the edit in |before you quoted them too ,haha.

For posterity, Rebel leader originally posted the zelda theme .

 

[Lights and Waves]

Tetris or Mario Bros Overworld

 

[Gator86]

Still Alive from Portal?

This probably wins. Gotta have lyrics, guys.

 

[Anth0ny]

it's pumpkin hill

 

[Corpekata]

Still Alive and even the Skyrim theme, even if you can't actually speak the words probably beat it out.

 

[Cheat Code]

Most people have never even heard the song.

it's Still Alive.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

You know you could have fit the entire question in the thread title.

Ico – “You Were There”

 

[Kouriozan]

Simple and Clean is probably "iconic" because you're forced to hear it in like 10 different games.

 

[Gormless Noodle]

There's that word "iconic" again.

This thread was brought to you by Ubisoft.

 

[Jyrz]

If Simple and Clean is the MOST iconic song in gaming history, cut off my dick and call me Sora.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Still Alive I'd say. Besides that maybe that one sonic song?

RUNNIN AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND

 

[Ferr986]

it's pumpkin hill

This.

 

[Shahadan]

Most reused for sure

 

[PSqueak]

No, gosh no.

I nominate Baba Yetu.

 

[DNAbro]

Most people have never even heard the song.

it's Still Alive.

I question how many people have heard Still Alive.

 

[Ralemont]

Nah. Mario, Zelda, and Final Fantasy all have more iconic themes.

Edit: Welp, reading. Still, I'd say One Winged Angel is more iconic than Simple and CLean.

 

[GoldandBlue]

Still Alive has lyrics thou

 

[Lights and Waves]

Most people have never even heard the song.

If you quizzed people I would imagine something like Super Mario Bros. 1-1 or Green Hill Zone would be the most easily recognisable.

 

[Nostremitus]

Tetris or Mario Bros Overworld

I know Mario Bros technically has lyrics, but they've never been used in a game... I'm not completely sure they are official either.

Wtf is still alive.

GlaDOS' song from Portal.

 

[Newtype-001]

Wtf is still alive.

 

[Danthrax]

I've never even heard it, OP

I'm pretty sure Still Alive wins

Spoiler

or Live and Learn

Wtf is still alive.

oh come on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI

 

[OricWindstar]

How does Still Alive not apply to the question?

 

[Ferrio]

Not even the most iconic square/enix song imo.

 

[Mesoian]

Listen here to the superior remix version.

Don't get crazy, it's not even the best Square theme.

 

[jwhit28]

SNAAAAAAAAKE EATER

That would be my guess.

Does the Mortal Kombat movie theme count? I know technically it isn't in games but...

 

[Hexa]

Yes

 

[Citadel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9aF9_mZDyY

Even though it's originally from a movie... I still believe!

 

[PhazonBlazer]

it's pumpkin hill

Oh yes I forgot that this is the GOAT

 

[Caayn]

It's a tad more iconic than Aiden Pearce's iconic hat. I've played through KH1 this year and I honestly needed to search the song and listen to it for a bit before I remembered it.

Still Alive from Portal?

First post, once again.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind.

 

[Eidan]

Nah, only because Kingdom Hearts hasn't had a relevant title in over a decade.

 

[SFenton]

I'd say it's up there, but you'll never be able to beat the iconic Mario music.

In terms of popularity, I don't know what the most is, but almost certainly:
- Mario
- Halo theme
- Super Smash Bros. menu music

In terms of what non-gamers could identify, definitely only Mario springs to mind. Far reach for Halo but possible.

 

[Lights and Waves]

This thread has already become an experiment to see who actually reads the first post.

People keep posting without reading it, and then quickly editing their posts before they get caught.
