Musical Trope?

Do you know that thing where a song (not necessarily a "theme song") keeps popping up in different versions during a movie or video game or such? Examples:

"Merry-go-round of Life" in Howl's Moving Castle

"Memory" in Undertale

"Showtime" in Homestuck
Does anyone know if there's a name and/or TvTropes page for this idea? And if not, does anyone know any other movies/ video games/ other where this occurs? Because I think this idea is pretty neat.
(Sorry for posting about a trope on a meme site, but it already took me 3 months to get comfortable here; I'm too lazy to spend another 3 months acclimating to another website for a single question.)
