Songs you associate with games

Have you ever thought of a song while playing a game you like?

I associate Horny by Mousse T with Dungeon Keeper 2, because the Horned Reaper in Dungeon Keeper 2 is frequently nicknamed Horny in-game. I always referred to him as Horny while playing it. I didn't know what horny meant when I was a kid.

Now I look back on it, I feel really embarrassed!

I also think of Indestructible by Disturbed while playing a Jailbreak map on Unreal Tournament.

You'd think that Jailbreak (either by ACDC or Thin Lizzy) would come to mind, but nope. Not for me anyway.

things like this really make me wonder why the word 'horny' has sexual connotations/origins, it seems like a pretty funny literary blip that, if there were infinite universes out there, not a large percentage would probably have this word! so who's to blame child you :P

Plantasia by Mort Garson (and the rest of the album too!) really reminds me of some of the earlier generation pokemon games; i discovered this when i was really into playing some older ones again and it really did feel like i'd unearthed a collection of tunes that took me back, as if i had the chance to hear some of my favourite themes from diamond/pearl for the first time again.
The music was created in 1976, far preceding the pokemon series, but had very little reach, and was only reissued in 2019 where it became popular online! so it's really interesting that it seems coincidental that both ichinose and sato of game freak and garson presumably managed to capture such a similar magic on their own, it's really cool to me and hearing one definitely makes me think of the other now!
