Like the arcade game, the Name Entry song begins playing upon the defeat of Doh, and as you read the ending story, although the NES port doesn't have a high score list to enter your initials.

The song is rendered on the Nintendo's RP2A03. It is track 6 in the NSF file. Unlike the arcade game, Name Entry does not loop forever, but rather plays twice and ends automatically.

For some reason, the song was pitched up from the original G minor to B minor.
