Generally, no. However, Congress occasionally changes the law to give back copyright to lapsed works. Detailed information on laws, procedures, etc. and forms for copyright are on the Copyright Office website.

Is the nyan cat song copyrighted?

It almost certainly is. Any piece of work is copyright by the person who created it; they can choose to put it in the public domain or license it under a permissive license; and if they don't act to protect their copyright it can become diluted to the point that it is no longer enforceable. So there is a chance that the Nyan Cat song's copyright has lapsed, but it is not safe to assume that.
