I’ve often been told that I seem to have more gaming knowledge than anything else, ask me about US History or Geography and I will draw a blank, ask me about the most obscure gaming related question and I will sound like a professor.
Too bad gaming historian is not a real profession.
For something to become a major, there has to be demand for that in the job market first. For better or for worse, the job market is seeking people who can tell them how to make new games, not how the old games were made.
Heh. Reminds me of the fairly odd parents
“What’s the capital of Burma?”
“How do cinder-cone volcanoes form?”
“When did France invade Russia?”
“How does the reactor work in…. huh? Crash Nebula’s starship?”
I believe it is actually a position. Im usually called a Modern Critic by my friends and other peers for making rude but funny comments on different modern games and movies. I’ll leave the old stuff to the Angry Nerd and Nostaligia Critic.
I always just try to get something better stuck in my head.
Is it just me, or do certain songs always seem more inclined to become stuck? I know that for me, “In the End” by Linkin Park would always override any other song I was thinking about at the time and nothing could dislodge it. I don’t even particularly like the song.
Try the interlude from “I Disappear” from Metallica. “Will you bury me when I’m gone, will you teach me while I’m here?” Best way to get any song out of the mind, and put a better one in!
Unfortunately, it was a Linkin Park song for me too, “Nobody’s Listening” was the one. But like I said, pretty much any Metallica or Jane’s Addiction song can override it.
OH! Which one is it? I bet it’s Spekkio’s theme, that song always gets stuck in my head. Well that and Gato’s theme… and Robo’s theme… and Lucca’s theme… Dangit now all four of those songs are stuck in my head.
It’s a bunch of different songs, actually; they cycle. The more frequently-occuring ones are: Shala’s Theme, Magus Fight, Reptite Lair, Guardia Castle, Robo’s Theme, and “To Far Away Times” (wonderfully “mellow” song).
I hate it when I partially remember how some tune from a game I played 15-20 years ago goes. I keep repeating that little part over and over until I give up and have to put together my old nes or snes just to hear how the whole thing goes and then… suffer a nostalgia attack…
Or when you remember one line of music and two words from a song you hear three weeks ago and you aren’t even sure if they’re the right words and NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE SONG IS.
Well that is whats clear, but why would grape have it stuck in her head? Dont they have a wii? And wiis arent 8-bit. >.> Or do they(apparently)have a nes or something, too?
Well, firstly they probably play lots of older games, they have likely had lots of them in the past. Also, the Wii does have the Virtual Console, which has tons of older games too. And it’s not necessarily an 8-bit song, but from what I gather, likely SNES (16 bit).
Also, I still have my NES, and play it from time to time. C:
I think this page is awesome, because the song Peanut was singing for Actraiser I actually can remember and even sing along with XD It’s definately a catchy tune. Ah memories
This is where it helps to have an internal landscape where you can communicate with various parts of your own subconscious. What I do is I go find my internal Juke Box and politely ask it to play another song. Then, when it doesn’t, I hit it with a bat.
Thanks to all the comments now instead of going to bed, which is what I would love to do right now, I gotta go and look up half the songs people are talking about. CURSE THIS BRAIN AND IT’S LOVE FOR VIDEO GAME MUSIC!!
*laughs* This keeps happening to me when I’m at work. Like out of the blue, and with no provocation. It’s crazy sometimes the stuff that gets stuck in my head.
I don’t think she has played it; she most likely heard the songs from when Peanut played his games because Peanut doesn’t seem to wear earphones usually.
I think so too. I once got the Celadon City background song stuck in my mom’s head for weeks because of this. Thereafter, whenever she saw me playing anything, she’d always ask me to mute it, even if I had already muted it!
Why can’t I ever understand these DUU-DI-DA-DADA things. They’re just confusing… XP
Lucky I only get musics stuck in my head witch I know exactly where they are from? X3
Spinach Rag? I don’ get it. :p
Grape’s tail FTW *hugs flufffed-up kitty tail*
Also, it’s my impression or our heroes are becoming skinnier by the day? Shame on you, Rick-sama! FEED them something!!
Goldarn caniglioon razzafrazzing grumblesmurf, I got called away to move some servers and didn’t hit refresh before I hit “Submit Comment” when I came back.
So is Grape frustrated in the last panel because:
1) The song starts up in her head again?
2) She’s trying to remember the song that she just forgot, but fails?
#2 was my first reading, but then I realised it might rather be #1.
#2 would be funnier, because it’d be an example of “you can get what you want, but still not be happy”.
I’d laugh, but somebody actually asked me a similar question in a chatroom once, ‘dum dada dada dada dadum dada dadah daaaaaaaaaaaa’ and I managed to help them find the piece… of course it happened to be one my brother had been playing over and over for ages recently.
I got one of the Super Mario RPG’s song stuck in my head… although I got terrible memory so I can only remember the first 10 seconds of it endlessly looping @-@
it is?! i never noticed I’m the type of person that miss the most obvious details so a title above very colorful pretty pictures are complete invisible to me…. =3
and Mika its the legend of Zelda out of hyrule music -!-
It would be two songs from the only Square Enix game I like to be engraved into my head.
Lady Gaga is also the earworm queen, none of her songs will leave your head without a good scrubbing.
Well in one comic she was close to doing this (don’t ask me the link) when king was hitting on tarot at the “summer cook out” it’s not so long ago (arc 32)

Yeah. It doesn’t make things any better when the other person is tone deaf and all the songs sound alike to them anyway
At least it ain’t someone saying “Do a barrel roll” XD

I thought that was:

ai dunno but it put de batman theme stuck in mai head -_-
Ah more Peanut and Grape. I hate it when that happens as well its so annoying
huh grape is making one of those faces you’d see in calvin and hobbes…
You know, I’ve never seen Peanut think as hard as he is in Panel 2. That’s some real concentration on his part!
aww… Peanut is so cute when he’s trying to look smart ^^
Peanut doesn’t have to try to look smart; he is smart! How else would he have been able to write this?
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/05/05/professor-spot-and-the-incredibly-geeky-joke/
Incredibly good point.
I’ve often been told that I seem to have more gaming knowledge than anything else, ask me about US History or Geography and I will draw a blank, ask me about the most obscure gaming related question and I will sound like a professor.
Too bad gaming historian is not a real profession.
It’s not?! How am I supposed to pay my student loans NOW?!
with lots and lots of bribes? or shaving cream
You better watch out for that shaving cream, King. It’s tricky.
Akchually I think it is. There’s just no schools that teach it as a major. You can get a Major in History and then specialize in video games tho!
For something to become a major, there has to be demand for that in the job market first. For better or for worse, the job market is seeking people who can tell them how to make new games, not how the old games were made.
Doesn’t mean you can’t specialize in video games later in life tho. You just have to get a major in History and work for a museum first or something….
Tell that to Capcom
Heh. Reminds me of the fairly odd parents
“What’s the capital of Burma?”
“How do cinder-cone volcanoes form?”
“When did France invade Russia?”
“How does the reactor work in…. huh? Crash Nebula’s starship?”
I remember that.

It’s an Earthbound song of course! Those are way too catchy.

here’s something that will get in your head!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx3tXw7TU58
Well the third panel is the best one I’d say
I always just try to get something better stuck in my head.
Is it just me, or do certain songs always seem more inclined to become stuck? I know that for me, “In the End” by Linkin Park would always override any other song I was thinking about at the time and nothing could dislodge it. I don’t even particularly like the song.
It’s the keyboard riff, isn’t it?
And yes, it is.
dun dun dun dun dun dun dun da dun dun dun dun dun duuun
I hate how catchy that part is. Especially I don’t particularly like linkin park.
*especially since
YOU don’t like linkin park aawww….
i love there songs and in the end was and still is there best song ever!!!
that name “keybored riff” just reminded me of this -_-;;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J—aiyznGQ
Funny. The term “keyboard riff” always makes me think of this:
http://rtil.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d26zg98
AAAUUUUGGG WUT THE [CENSOR] WAS THAT!!! DX
Try the interlude from “I Disappear” from Metallica. “Will you bury me when I’m gone, will you teach me while I’m here?” Best way to get any song out of the mind, and put a better one in!
Oh, it’s not a problem any more. I was just wondering if anybody else ever noticed a “master song” that alway seemed to get stuck.
Unfortunately, it was a Linkin Park song for me too, “Nobody’s Listening” was the one. But like I said, pretty much any Metallica or Jane’s Addiction song can override it.
I’ll give it a shot if I ever have anything less enjoyable than Tally Hall stuck in my head.
..but I don’t forsee that happening anytime soon!
*foresee

Gah! Now I’ll have the Jeopardy Theme in my head all week! (luckily, there’s not much “week” left

I actually usually use Mika’s “Lollipop”, but you, sir, win.

Gotta hate it when that happens.
Grape you need the power of Shazam!!
totaly, and ooo gasmask
huh the title makes me think of the music played when link gets an item…
That’s because it is!
You know Rick, you’re really sly about stuff like that. Now it all makes sense!
Okay, we got the title down
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpzFcS9NQT8 if you’re wondering)
But what’s the song in Grape’s head?
Peanut in panel 2 becomes an avatar in 3…2…1…
you called?
more like…
called it!
YEEEEAAAAAAGH!
I had this song stuck in my head for 2 days, seriously:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3jFTzhdZF4
Weebl’s Stuff introduced me to “Jerk It Out” by Caesars, so I guess they’re responsible for nailing me with a song, too.
Very… interesting… title for a song…
The band swore they didn’t mean that.
I know that, I just have a stick mind. =P
I love that song sooooo much.
Sounds like a remake of “I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts”
I, for one, had “Fergalicious” stuck in my head for two months thanks to my sister. You could hear me humming it during my final exams. Not cool.
Sorry for this being off topic, but are you in college Frank or still in High School. Just wondering because you mentioned your final exams.
College. and my professor suck. They call the big test at the end of the course final exams, we let them call them that.
What are you going to college for?
silly rick ai dun wear close
What?
translation: “Silly Rick, I don’t wear clothes!”
I believe it’s in reference to the tees.
EEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXACTLY
twokinds? hmm so im not the only one
it wud twokinds but now DMFA :3
…Oh-kaay.
There’s probably a logical explanation, like there was here:

uuhhh sure letz go w/ thatz ^_^
We’re going with you being a ferret?
Muahahaha! The plan matures!
wut ai no ferret!!!!!! >_<
btw arggeent wut r u talking about? *looks all concerned*
*innocent ferret grin*
Plan?
*drops fist into hand*
I knew it!
*picks up the spoils* \:3/
And that song is now stuck in my head.
So what WAS the song stuck in Grape’s head?
It sounds like the intro sequence from The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX
I’ve never played it, so that’s probably why I don’t recognize it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS_zpkoC_38
Though I was thinking from second 50, which is pretty much the theme of every Legend of Zelda game
or dis 1!!! XD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKkrUr5uASE
I’ve had Chrono Trigger music stuck in my head for the last two weeks or so, and I haven’t played that game in well over a year, at least.
OH! Which one is it? I bet it’s Spekkio’s theme, that song always gets stuck in my head. Well that and Gato’s theme… and Robo’s theme… and Lucca’s theme… Dangit now all four of those songs are stuck in my head.
The human brain can actively, conciously process lime seven things at the same time.
1) typing
2) that “Crabs” song linked up there
3) “Hey Jude”
4) “Play That Funky Music”
that’s what i’ve got going on right now.
Then why is juggling so hard?
AI CAN JUGGLE ^_^
The trick to juggling, according to Kami, is that you have to learn to only think of one ball at a time.
It’s a bunch of different songs, actually; they cycle. The more frequently-occuring ones are: Shala’s Theme, Magus Fight, Reptite Lair, Guardia Castle, Robo’s Theme, and “To Far Away Times” (wonderfully “mellow” song).
Yasunori Mitsuda has done so much wonderful music.
I mean, I never played Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross, and I still love the music.
Yo dawg, Mitsuda’s good, an’ Imma let you finish, but I just wanna say that Nobuo Uematsu is the greatest video game composer of all time.

The only things I know about Totoros come frome “My Neighbor Totoro”, which I have on VHS.
Thanks to Scott Pilgrim I have the bassline for the final fantasy 2 battle music stuck in my head.
dun dun dun dun dondondondon dun dun dun dun dondondondon…
I hate it when I partially remember how some tune from a game I played 15-20 years ago goes. I keep repeating that little part over and over until I give up and have to put together my old nes or snes just to hear how the whole thing goes and then… suffer a nostalgia attack…
Or when you remember one line of music and two words from a song you hear three weeks ago and you aren’t even sure if they’re the right words and NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE SONG IS.
YES.
On the other hand, I have an entire song in mp3 form that nobody knows what it is.
*facepalmfordoublepost*
And then there’s when I’m not even sure if the song EXISTS or not, because it came to me in a dream…
Grape looks cute when shes frustrated. x3
And I dont get it >.> can someone explain?
Grape has an 8-bit song in her head, and since they’re all bleeps and bloops they’re trying to figure out what it is.
Well that is whats clear, but why would grape have it stuck in her head? Dont they have a wii? And wiis arent 8-bit. >.> Or do they(apparently)have a nes or something, too?
They probably have multiple consoles, but the wii also has virtual console, which can download older games.
ai wonder wut grapes theme would be *wonder off thinking really hard about nothing*
Well, firstly they probably play lots of older games, they have likely had lots of them in the past. Also, the Wii does have the Virtual Console, which has tons of older games too. And it’s not necessarily an 8-bit song, but from what I gather, likely SNES (16 bit).
Also, I still have my NES, and play it from time to time. C:
aka emulator? isnt that homebrew? and dont you need to hack a wii in order to run homebrew?
No, the Wii has an official store with emulated games on old consoles.
I love how Grape’s tail is at half fluff in the last panel. Don’t even need to see her face!
Legend of Zelda?
Link’s Awakening, probably
you found the * Ba da da Daaaaaah! * new housepets T-shirt!
Oh wait, victory theme form any FF game, derp
Actually, I was just seeing if I could get it stuck in peoples’ heads…
I think this page is awesome, because the song Peanut was singing for Actraiser I actually can remember and even sing along with XD It’s definately a catchy tune. Ah memories
This is where it helps to have an internal landscape where you can communicate with various parts of your own subconscious. What I do is I go find my internal Juke Box and politely ask it to play another song. Then, when it doesn’t, I hit it with a bat.
because violence solves everything eh haha
The wisdom of Grape Jelly.
this is very true
it is just ask Chuck Norris :3
Are you advertising Otter Island, give us useful psychiatric advice, or just trying to creep us out?
MAKEE ITT STOPPPPP!!!
Thanks to all the comments now instead of going to bed, which is what I would love to do right now, I gotta go and look up half the songs people are talking about. CURSE THIS BRAIN AND IT’S LOVE FOR VIDEO GAME MUSIC!!
*laughs* This keeps happening to me when I’m at work. Like out of the blue, and with no provocation. It’s crazy sometimes the stuff that gets stuck in my head.
Like using rl situations for your comics, Rick?
Why do you THINK I asked you the name of that really annoying song
Also, go to bed
Next time you have an annoying song stuck in your head, crank the “Chocobo Racing” music on a loop. Nothing can withstand that.
or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WNrx2jq184

That earned you an extra year in the lake of salsa.
OH NOEZ! D:
It doesn’t sound so bad until you ask yourself, what kind of spices do demons like in their salsa?
but now that questions in mai hed!!!!!! >_<
You should’ve put up a sound file
Even if it was just you humming it
I can’t pick out the theme. I can’t even get the rhythm down. I’m totally lost on this one.
Huh, Grape never struck me as the type to play videogames before.
…. how do Peanut and Grape even know about Actraiser? Guess they used an emulator.
…. now I feel like firing up some NES or SNES roms just to listen to the music, ahhhh nostalgia.
I don’t think she has played it; she most likely heard the songs from when Peanut played his games because Peanut doesn’t seem to wear earphones usually.
I think so too. I once got the Celadon City background song stuck in my mom’s head for weeks because of this. Thereafter, whenever she saw me playing anything, she’d always ask me to mute it, even if I had already muted it!
This comic reminds me that episode of “Seinfeld” where George gets that song “Master of the House” stuck in his head.
Why can’t I ever understand these DUU-DI-DA-DADA things. They’re just confusing… XP
Lucky I only get musics stuck in my head witch I know exactly where they are from? X3
Spinach Rag? I don’ get it. :p
Try looking it up on You Tube.
It’ll all become clear
… or stuck in your head. XD
Or perhaps cloudier, or foggier, or crystalline, or opaque, or…
Such a cute couple x :3
yup just as good as Natani x Keith X3
Don’t talk about your shipping for other comics!
…I can’t come up with valid reasoning for this command, so, carry on?
definitely fell grape’s pain on this one as it happens to me all too often.
i hear ya, it can get annoying, but can get ur mind off things to
havent had that happen to me for a long time, but yes, its realy annoying when its something you dont even like
The last panel reminds me of in legend of Zelda when you use a key do open a door or you get a heart piece. “duh Duh dah DAA!”
Moreso than the title does I mean.
rick did say it was from zelda i think
Rick has only said he’s asking for the name of the song
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/07/30/ba-da-da-daaaaah/comment-page-1/#comment-38881
Kurgun was who suggested it might be from Zelda
Rick said the title was from Zelda.
now i have to now what game its from. of course there’s now real way for me to know. but the final fantasy fanfare just seems too obvious
>_>…BaDa da dada dun, dun. Doot doot doot do do do do, da da da da dat, da da dat, dada na.
Sorry if that’s a bit hard, lol, was trying to get the right sounds.
i cant seem to match those to sounds in my head, so weird
Super Mario Bros., World 1-1. That’s too easy.
dangit, i knew it sounded fimiliar
dangit now ai can’tz remember the super mario theme -_-;;
Okay, so what’s the song stuck in Grape’s head?
Grape I think eyePhone has an app for that
also I’m loving the “EEEEEEEE” tail in the last panel, I can imagine what Grapes face looks like
Grape’s tail FTW *hugs flufffed-up kitty tail*
Also, it’s my impression or our heroes are becoming skinnier by the day? Shame on you, Rick-sama! FEED them something!!
more skinny you say?
Grape would probably rip your limbs off if you did that
not meh ai do all de time ai only got hurt twice ^_^
All worth it!
Well, at least it is music… Not some crappy catchphrase.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2b0QT3lXOw
. . .
Uuh, what did I just watched? My mind is a bit slow right now.
Catchphrase!
Sigh… >_>
Next time I’ll just link to Rick Astley, OK?
That name sounds familiar…
You want to rick roll me. :C
If I wanted to, I wouldn’t have warned you.
I honestly thought it was the Jurassic park theme until they say RPG then i didn’t even bother trying to think of all the old games this could be in
Wait, that tune..? It just struck me. That looks like the chocobo theme music from like, every Final Fantasy game ever!
is it the Jaws theme song?
When you’ve made a reference to ActRaiser, you’ve just made the best comic ever.
Ever.
“Ba Da Da Daaaaah” reminds me of the thing from the Zelda games when you get an item out of a chest
It goes:
Badalada Badalada Badalada Badalada BADALADA BA DA DA DAAAAAAAAH!
Scroll back, Rick confirmed it!
Um… where Argent?
nevermind, found it

Hopefully Rick will Ninja these three messages out.
Rick, before we storm your house with rusty pitchforks and Bic lighters and demand an answer: what IS the song Grape’s got stuck in her head?
He doesn’t know, that’s what inspired the comic in the first place!
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/07/30/ba-da-da-daaaaah/comment-page-1/#comment-38881
Grape will never figure out which game it was.
So is Grape frustrated in the last panel because:
1) The song starts up in her head again?
2) She’s trying to remember the song that she just forgot, but fails?
#2 was my first reading, but then I realised it might rather be #1.
#2 would be funnier, because it’d be an example of “you can get what you want, but still not be happy”.
I think she’s picked up a new earworm from Peanut.
haha .. yea #2 would be hilarious !! lol
but it would seem that rick went with #1 since the first few bits in the last panel match her original dum dum dum..
but great point there .. arfff
this will get stuck in yer hed fer EVER!!!! O_O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVkmcTjYfEg
Your name is my name…
When I saw her doing that I was thinking The chocobo theme song.
You know “Da dada dada da da daa da dadadada”
Something like that.
Electric de Chocobo is the best version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sujtfe7Tsro
Put that on a loop and you’ll kill any earworm known.
Number nine is my favorite version.
…Crap, now I have that stuck in my head.
Yes, it’s an earworm. But it’s an awesome earworm!
reminds me of the Chocobo Robo Voice song. With surf guitar. Which makes it even awesomer-er.

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/58184
I was totally thinking Zelda. Probably wrong but w/e XD
Oddly, despite having played more Zelda games than any other series, Zelda was the last thing that came to my mind
That was the second guess for me.
there is alway a catchy sing that get stuck in your head for hours.
peanut’s thinky face is cute.
…..
BadabaDAAAAAAAAH!!
OMG yer face fits that last part perfictly ^_^
Ah-HA,HA,HA
…I have no idea how 2 interpret the da-da’s and other spoken sondeffects.
But this is funney.
Now, I must go and erase a certian Crab song from my memeory.

YAY, WE’RE BACK TO GRAPE AND PEANUT!
I have definitely been there before, and I always hate it when that happens.
The saddest part of all of this, is that I had to read each one of them aloud… Gah… Flare’s comment was great to do this with, lol
I’d laugh, but somebody actually asked me a similar question in a chatroom once, ‘dum dada dada dada dadum dada dadah daaaaaaaaaaaa’ and I managed to help them find the piece… of course it happened to be one my brother had been playing over and over for ages recently.
that’s seems a lot like the STAR WARS theme song XD
I got one of the Super Mario RPG’s song stuck in my head… although I got terrible memory so I can only remember the first 10 seconds of it endlessly looping @-@
There’s a playlist on Youtube with all the Super Mario RPG songs
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=720AE5488E4F2BEB&playnext=1&v=HuFKssyYZIQ
Get the full thing stuck in your head! Then erase it with Argent’s Electric Chocobo!
THAT MUSIC HURTS MAI BRAIN O_o
Maybe I should put this before any youtube link:
“You are free to not click it”
Thanks to this thread I’ve added “Electric de Chocobo” and “Axel F” to my phone to annoy people with. I hope you are all proud of yourselves.
Axel F… Crazy Frog version or original movie version?
Original version by Harold Faltermeyer.
Ur welcome.
well thank you
I think its one of the legend of Zelda ocarina of time themes the outside of Hyrule one in the open field….
hmm sounds right plus the title is the zelda discovery music so…
it is?! i never noticed I’m the type of person that miss the most obvious details so a title above very colorful pretty pictures are complete invisible to me…. =3
and Mika its the legend of Zelda out of hyrule music -!-
da da da dadada da da da da dadadaad dadadaaddadadadadaad dee da dadadadada…
What song is it!?!
Boss battle from, uh, something!
Calling – Leah
Someday – Hanaeryca
It would be two songs from the only Square Enix game I like to be engraved into my head.
Lady Gaga is also the earworm queen, none of her songs will leave your head without a good scrubbing.

Battlefield 2142. I will never get that song out of my head.
I really wonder if he had a song stuck in his head when he thought up this page.
If you scroll back through the comments… it seems certain.
Ok this is a familiar scene since my mom HATES my games & the fact that I constantly listen to this.
:3
GAH! I HATE when that happens. and the only way to cure it is to actually listen to it. XD
It has to be the Chocobo theme!
did Grape ever hurt King?
It doesn’t seem so.
Yeah…
not physically anyway
(“woops that soda went right to my blader, see ya!” runs away almost screaming)
Well in one comic she was close to doing this (don’t ask me the link) when king was hitting on tarot at the “summer cook out” it’s not so long ago (arc 32)
Yeh, but he ran away, and the arc ended with him still unpulverised. At least not by Grape.
Want something to stick in your head all day?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H84gkp5GEAM

Ack, it uses space to rotate instead of drop. That’s almost more disconcerting than the view.
Try it in “Night Mode”
I DARE YOU.
*shudder*
I can’t even play it in normal mode. The keyboard controls are just wrong.
Rick: there’s a couple of sites that let you find a song by tapping it or humming it.
I just used this one and it successfully identified the Chocobo theme!

I don’t have a microphone so I can’t try this one: http://www.midomi.com/
Google tried one of those for a while, but they took it down before I caught a song I needed to know the name of

I’m a cheap ferret, I’m using Photoshop Expressions 3.
thnx ^_^

I was going to say that, too.
Gimp is pretty much comparable to Photoshop Expressions in capability, but it can’t read and write Photoshop files as well as PE, and I got PE free with a drawing tablet.

lmao, well unless you pay attention alot to the Pokemon/YuGiOh! handheld game back music during battles, your interpertation is your own. ;P
Hmm…is the song Grape’s referring to the battle song from Romancing Saga 3?
Whether it is or not it is now stuck in my head. Meh, could have been a worse song.
Cute link puppy avatar is cute.

And funny enough, it’s kinda related to the song-gets-stuck-in-head subject as I got it from this video:
