This prompt is a bit weird because I wouldn’t say I get particularly tired of any of the music I’ve posted so far! Nevertheless, the Mario 2 overworld theme did jump out to me as a theme that I have listened to ad nauseam many times. I’ve thrown an extended YouTube video of this track on in the background while I work more times than I can count. I don’t know why, but it’s just my go-to in that regard. Love it.

I really like the diverse covers I was able to find for this track. The perks of being from one of the most popular games of all time, I suppose.
