Right now, I can only think of one, off the top of my head. That being the Comic Bakery loader theme.
The above, or at least the first parts of it, was used in the first level of the Jurassic Park game for the NES (it kicks in at around 43 seconds):
Same with the Game Boy version, which is where I first heard it. It's pretty much the same track as above (again, the Comic Bakery part comes in at around 43 seconds):
It's also used in Jurassic Park 2 for Game Boy. It's kind of weird because this is basically the same theme as the previous two, except pitch shifted... except for the Comic Bakery part, which is still the same:
And, lastly (at least that I'm aware of), it was used in the first level of a game called Platypus, which I've never played. This one is a more straight up remix of the Comic Bakery theme:
I'd guess that there are probably other games that have done this, but if there are, I can't think of them at the moment. Or I haven't heard of them. That's a possibility, too, I suppose. I feel like I've encountered something like this elsewhere, but... *shrug*
And I'm not talking about games that use commercial non-game music (e.g. Brutal Legend, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, or Doom [which is notorious for sort of having used unlicensed music], or any game that uses public domain classical music, etc.). I'm also not talking about games in a series using similar music (e.g. the Mario theme showing up in practically every Mario game, or the Zelda theme doing the same in Zelda games, etc.) or within the same company (e.g. [spoilers for a three decade old computer game] Leisure Suit Larry 3 using music from Police Quest, Space Quest, and King's Quest in it). I'm talking about (non-parody) games that explicitly cover/remix tracks that originally appeared in other, completely separate games by other people/companies, whether with permission or not.
(I feel like I've already made a post about this, at least the Comic Bakery stuff, but if I did, I apparently didn't use any of the obvious tags that I would've used on it, so I can't find it now.)
