Is there a song in a game that doesn't match the tone for you?

For me it has to be



I don't know what it is, but the whole tone and sound of it just feels completely out of left field in comparison to the rest of the OST.

The now re-placed main menu music for Dragons Dogma. I love that tune but it doesn't make a lick of sense in regards to the game.

Playing Halo CE for the first time, and pretty much the whole game?
I have to stifle a laugh every time some cheesy dramatic choral music bursts in while I'm shooting Despicable Me minions in the face

Not only does it not match the game, but it feels like the lyrics don't even match the music. Not a fan at all.

My Hands in Final Fantasy XIII.
Probably because it actually doesn't belong and just haphazardly replaces the real ending theme.
It's also shorter and requires the end credits to add some filler music to match up.

Otherworld in FFX. It's kinda okay in the intro but it's stupid af in the final boss. All that ethereal feeling of ending the magical journey, suddenly plays industrial rammstein wannabe song lol

the HELP Menu.
In legend of legacy, a lot of the soundtrack has a sort of lightness to it, and comes off as lightly modulated orchestra music. But, while the song for the optional Dragon Bossfights is totally Wackadoo, it's ALSO one of the best boss fight themes I have ever heard.

So bewildering in it's inclusion and direction that famed free comedy RPG "Barkley: Shut up and Jam: Gaiden," refers to it in it's soundtrack directory as "Jesus Christ the guy from deep purple sang this"

And it is absolute glorious. I'm not making jokes, it's so fantastic. Nearly every bossfight is an absolute treat because of it.

I adore the game... but this is a sin in itself
Wait... Kojima being the father of the game... This is genius !
There you go, Sin of the father wasted in a jeep scene..

Yep, first one that came to mind for me.

A lot of folks will also cite the credits music from Symphony of the Night, but I really like it.
