"Monkees Race Again"

I watched "Monkees Race Again" a couple days ago and noticed something that's almost included in this section of the episode trivia on the DVD:  "When Micky attempts to switch on The Klutzmobile's engine, music eminates [sic] from it.  A couple of cues from that music previously appeared in Episode No. 14, 'Dance, Monkee, Dance,' in the scene where David applies for a job as a dance instructor for Renaldo's Dance Au Go-Go."  The last of these musical cues (which is not included in "Dance, Monkees, Dance") is a tune composed by Haydn and later used for the German national anthem.
