The level theme for Donkey Kong Country 2's mine shaft stages wasn't included in the game's official soundtrack album, leaving it without an official name for several years. The Game Boy Advance remake, which includes an unlockable sound test, simply refers to the track as "Kannon's Klaim", which is the name of the first level the track plays in.
In 2000, the fan website DK Vine created their own unofficial name for the song, "Mining Melancholy", which appeared to have ended up becoming the accepted name for certain uploads of the track online. However, it wasn't until 2024 with the soundtrack's release on the Nintendo Music streaming service that the song finally received an official name: "Kannon's Klanking".

I had no idea that Mining Melancholy was unofficial. Mind. Blown.
