There's a couple of tracks that I assume to be public domain, as they've appeared on various shows.
Unknown Track 1: This track appears in three media I know of. It appears in The Spider-Man: The Movie game (The one that was released around the time of the film), in the level "Corralled". Another instance of it was in the Even Stevens Episode "Close Encounters of the Beans Kind". The last instances I've only heard of were said to be in South Park and some game called "Desperados".
Unknown Track 2: This track has appeared in one Movie and one show. Again, that I'm aware of, it could've appeared in more media. A couple of times in Darkwing Duck. The movie it appeared in was Bionicle: Mask of Light, when Takanuva and Makuta fall into the pit of Protodermis.
The tracks in question can be listened to easily as one can just put the names of episodes, game levels, and/or movies into youtube and watch. Since I have at least one pinpoint example per track.
If anyone knows the name of the tracks and/or has links to them (Like youtube), it would be very much appreciated. Not to mention those tracks can be another entry to add into the main page of Public Domain Soundtrack.

"Although the Ninja Hattori-Kun Famicom game's main theme is mostly an original tune, it quotes a few bars of "Orpheus in the Underworld"."
Yes, and I'm W.A. Mozart. What bullshit.
The theme actually quotes Minuet from the Woman of Arles by Georges Bizet (https://youtu.be/iCmLniZWZk8?t=690) + the mentioned Can Can from Orpheus in the Underworld, stitched together with 2 or so original measures/bars. So, not very original.
They just took a less known piece. Most people don't know Bizet's works except the toreador song from Carmen, Woman of Arles is damn obscure (the first suite the people usually know is quoted in Parodius already if I'm not mistaken) and they used the second suite, and the THIRD part of that suite.
This is "very obscure" level of obscurity because almost no one who plays video games listens to classical music for so long to recognize this piece, and people listening to classical music who probably know this aren't the ones who would play video games.
