Top 10 Worst Video Game Songs of All Time
Video game music is some of the most underrated music out there. There are some video game songs that give me goosebumps every time I hear them! However, there are also some terrible songs out there. Some are so bad that you would rather go deaf than listen to them, whether because they are extremely repetitive, make no sense, or have barely any music at all! This is the Top 10 Worst Video Game Songs of All Time.What is this song!? Can I even call it a song? It's nothing but random notes! It's ear-grating, it makes no sense, and no effort was put into it! This song sounds like I put my DS underwater for 10 minutes!
Crazy Bus - Main Theme, you get an F- with a frowny face sticker. Even I could play better music on a piano, and I have no experience at all! Was there any attempt at making good music when this abysmal song was written? I just get a headache when I listen to this! In my opinion, the main theme of Crazy Bus is the worst video game song ever made.
This song is horrible. The trombones are playing random notes, and the song is extremely dull. Apparently, the original composer of Resident Evil's music was going deaf, and a ghostwriter wrote music instead.
It sounds like someone was fist-fighting another person while composing this garbage! Zero effort, the harmony is awful, and the pitch is mind-numbingly low!
It seriously sounds like me playing some notes on some lame piano app I downloaded. I put it on synth and didn't even try to make a song.
I'm just not feeling this. This doesn't even sound like a Sonic song to me. The song just feels too weak and empty. I can sense the melody, which would sound great if the song didn't feel like it was composed by a toddler.
While I liked the Shadow the Hedgehog version, this one is just garbage. The basic melody is OK, but the sound font is just awful. It's just so dull, and the pitch is way too low. I recommend giving this song a skip.
This song is just annoying. While it starts out pretty bad, it just keeps repeating over and over! People always used to be annoyed and scared when their game crashed or the battery of their DS ran out. Honestly, I can see why!
You have to listen to this mind-numbing tune for 10 minutes! If you had to listen to this a lot, I feel bad for you.
I think this is the worst version of Resetti's Theme. This is the only version that actually sounds appalling to me.
This song is just abysmal. It's repetitive and dull. This song sounds like bugs farting on my eardrums! I get that this song is supposed to be spooky, but for me, it's just more dull than scary!
At least it tries to change things up a little 30 seconds in. But it only plays that part for a few seconds before going back to the repetitive mess! This song just makes no sense. I love Zelda music, but this song is just bad.
The song's not that bad. It's still not something I would recommend to anyone, however.
The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! Never mind, it's just this song, which sounds like bugs farting on your eardrums.
The audio quality is just awful. The man singing just sounds bored! And the crowd cheering just sounds like they are screaming in horror! I don't blame them!
Also, I just can't understand the lyrics! This song is just bad. However, it came from a really old game, so I put it lower on the list.
Yeah, it's cringingly awful, but it's pretty old, so it has an excuse.
Yeah, this one is pretty bad. I can't really consider it a song, more of a noise. However, it was on the soundtrack, so I guess it counts. Anyway, it's repetitive, annoying, stupid, and just boring.
I don't know why Toby would put this on the OST anyway, maybe as a joke? I think that Undertale has some truly astounding music, but this one really sucks.
Boring. I expected something that's worth listening to for at least a few minutes. Y'know, something with a good melody of some sort. This "song" doesn't even have a melody.
It's 5 notes repeated over and over. That's it. Nothing changes. No drop, nothing. This song can make anybody go insane. Was there any effort put into this song? Actually, no, because it was stolen. This is exactly the same bass line as The Ballad of John and Yoko by the Beatles!
This song is just pure garbage! I put this lower on the list, though, because this song is pretty old.
It's a really old game. It makes sense for the music to be mediocre.
Ugh. This song just grates on my ears. The pitch is so high, I feel like I am losing my sanity when I listen to this trash heap of a song! Why do you even need music for an options menu anyway? If you are going to include music for it, at least make it soothing for the ears!
It isn't really repetitive, though, so I guess it's not THAT bad.
When I listened to this song, I was thrown off guard. It's so grating, and the pitch is so high. The instrument choice was pretty stupid. But hey, it's not that repetitive, but it makes my ears bleed when I listen to it. I'd probably put it higher.
Kind of cute, but it gets annoying as it continues.
It's repetitive as all hell! I hate it! I would rather listen to Chara's laugh (Soulless Pacifist) on a loop for 7 hours straight!
Challenge of the day? Explain why this song is bad without saying it's overrated.
It's not even good. There, I said it.
It's the worst thing I have ever heard. It's also the worst game, in my opinion! I would not recommend playing this game at all.
The audio quality is awful. It sounds like someone playing on a broken accordion! Also, is this song played at freak show carnivals? If so, I honestly wouldn't be surprised! Maybe for a merry-go-round with dead corpses of real horses?
This song is just hilariously bad. Town music should be relaxing and inviting, not made to keep you away! King's Quest V's town theme is just abysmal, and I recommend you don't listen to it.
Not a bad song, but quite annoying after a while.
One of the few bad songs in the game, also coming from the person who added Megalovania and Castle of Evil.
More like unnecessarily boring.
Sounds like someone having a seizure stumbled upon a xylophone.
I've heard really good music from PS1 games such as Crash Bandicoot, and Parappa the Rapper, but this has got to be one of the lamest PS1 songs I've heard so far. The melody isn't bad, but the overall feel is mediocre.
Y'know, that kind of mediocre that I'll listen to for a few minutes, get bored of quickly, and possibly forget about in the next month or so. In other words, it's dull-ish. I'll most likely imagine a better version of it in my mind, to be honest, but only if it manages to get in my head, which I doubt.
P.S.: For a Christmas game, it doesn't have a holiday-spirit vibe at all. It doesn't help that it's from a game that's, in my opinion, so appalling-looking and eye-fatiguing that it makes Bubsy 3D and Crazy Bus almost look like Sonic Mania.
I'm glad it went unused. It's more repetitive than 25m! How could I forget this one! This game is from 2015 (I think), so there is no excuse for this song.
