I need peppy game music for doing chores

[opa]

Weird topic I know, but hear me out. I typically play music while doing mundane chores around the house (laundry, dishes, etc). I usually make my own playlists but I need some suggestions because I'm drawing a blank on this.
I need some song recommendations for peppy music. Currently for the "Peppy Playlist" I have:
-Katamari Damacy OST - Lonely Rolling Star
-Persona 3 - Dorm Music
-Shenmue - Tomato Store

Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

Daytona USA - Rolling Start or Sky High
Sonic Adventure - Welcome to Station Square, Azure Blue World, Windy and Ripply, At Dawn, Windy Hill (this entire soundtrack is mostly uptempo, peppy stuff)

Sega’s arcade and action fare pretty well dominates this space.

I just looked up the three tracks you listed, and while they're upbeat/peppy they're also pretty smooth and chill. So I think I get the idea of what you're going for.

The Sonic Adventure tracks are definitely great recommendations.

The Great Sea - The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FftDrweUNvc

Lost Woods - LoZ Ocarina of TIme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljqe4Nj7nBA

Are you looking purely for the original in game OST? Or will covers do? I've mentioned this in a few threads over the last couple of years, but when I was working in an office I really took to playing jazz covers of video game music.

Lost Woods (jazz cover) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljqe4Nj7nBA

K.K. Cruisin' (Animal Crossing) Jazz Cover - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRtcYbKoPf0

Ryu's Theme (Street Fighter II) Funk Cover - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXkJjHlnnQE

In the Bar (Streets of Rage II) Funk Cover - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hflZhBdLis

If you like the above, then just check out the channel The Consouls, they have tons of covers uploaded.

Insane In the Rain Music is another YouTube channel with a lot of great video game jazz covers. Too many to list.

Which reminds me... If you want the original in-game OST music, then later Mario games have a lot of good tracks that are already fully orchestrated. And Xenoblade Chronicles has a few too, like the one linked above.

Castlevania Rondo of Blood has a good soundtrack, I like to throw that on sometimes. Don't know if that's too rocking for you though, for the vibe you're going for. Symphony of the Night definitely has a few good tracks that might fit your vibe.

How about the entire Super Mario World soundtrack?

PPF is also very good.

He does his covers in a way that they sound close to the chip tunes, as oppose to real instruments.

Oh, fun.
Might I recommend:

'Door to Summer' from Knuckles Chaotix

'Shopping District' from Persona 1

'Casino' from Dragon Quest V

'Shop' from Popful Mail


Depending on how up-tempo you want-
'The Boy Who Had Wings' from Ys III


If you want anything a bit more wistful and 'floaty,' these might work-
'The Floating Gardens of Aeria' from Magic Knight Rayearth

'Ship' from Dragon Slayer - Legend of Heroes
(Alternatively 'Pirate Island' is a groovy jam with a lot of variety.)

The whole Umihara Kawase Shun OST, but 'Beach' in particular might be closer to what you're looking for.


These are mostly right off the dome. If any of them are in the strike zone, I'll try digging for some other stuff.

I’ll show myself out…

[Ack]

I’ll show myself out…

Why? This is the peppiest thing I've heard so far. I was thinking more like this:

Hotline Miami 2 - Le Perv

Command & Conquer - To Be Feared

Silent Hill - Ain't Gonna Rain

Yep, that's peppy.



Seriously though, considering what you posted, this is probably more what you're interested in:

Mega Man Legends - The Apple Market

[pierrot]

Silent Hill - Ain't Gonna Rain

Jesus, fuck--. This track should be renamed to 'Theme of Anxiety and Panic Attacks.' I don't hate it.


If we're gonna go all out on "pep," we may as well really do it: Screamo warning.

Edit: Ack, it’s not exactly what I considered as peppy music. Angry music for sure. I guess it’ll serve the job of getting you hyped up to complete tasks. I just don’t want opa to start breaking dishes and “Office Spacing” their washing machine in the process.
