Read description for more information:

These glitches let you play a selection of tunes in Red, Blue and Yellow without arbitrary code execution. They aren't really useful, but you can play music in the wrong places so you might find them a little entertaining in that respect.

All of these require (glitch) items, namely:

Glitch 1 "Using ????? in battle":

1) ????? (hex:07), also known as the "surfboard" for glitch 1 (you can get this in Red/Blue with a double distort CoolTrainer with "." after you catch the Pokémon; ゥ l (F2) with a Bicycle in the fourth position), the hex:B3 item that prints your name.
2) Any rod.

Glitch 2 (CoolTrainer induced music):
1) The hex:B9 glitch item (Red/Blue). It displays the rival's name.
2) 9F (hex:5E) (Red/Blue). This is needed for the game to save the screen data (including the data printed by the rival's name item).

Glitch 3 (Super Glitch item induced music):
The same items as glitch 2, plus a Super Glitch item such as PC (hex:80).

All glitch items can be obtained with TheZZAZZGlitch's get any glitch item trick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98_azamLeh4), which unfortunately requires a fossil first (or drink if the Saffron guard hasn't taken it). Additionally, you need a stack of 255 items for it which can be obtained with item duplication (triggered either by encountering or catching a Pokémon like Missingno.), if (for Missingno. or 'M) you toss an item to x127 and then duplicate again. This is significantly harder in Yellow because the old man doesn't exist and most Missingno. are unstable. You may want to do the Ditto glitch and use a special stat of 182, 183 or 184 to encounter a stable (fossil or ghost) Missingno.

Alternatively, you can trade a Ditto with "-" as the first move over to Yellow and mutate the enemy into Missingno. by opening your party menu in battle first and continually opening and closing the fight menu afterwards (or pressing down on the d-pad when you are on the menu).
