* The music video for Music/AHa's "Take On Me" is actually the second version. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liq-seNVvrM first version]] had a different recording with the band singing on a blue background while gymnasts are dancing on interim.

** [[Music/HistoryPastPresentAndFutureBookI "They Don't Care About Us"]] has three different versions, all filmed by Creator/SpikeLee: The well-known version that was filmed in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, and a version set inside a prison that was rarely shown on television, but was later included on the compilation ''Michael Jackson's Vision''. The prison version was the first time in Jackson's career that he had filmed two music videos for the same song. In the summer of 2020, in light of the Black Lives Matter protests happening around the world, Lee released a supercut combining both versions of the video, with new footage of the BLM protests that were happening.
