* Music/GlassTiger's song "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone"'s original video, which played in their native Canada, had the band in a brightly colored fake suburb with cartoony drawings of people on cardboard cutouts. When the song started to do well in the US, MTV took one look at the video and said they weren't going to play it. That resulted in a quickly produced second video which is little more than a straight performance video set in a fairly small venue with a tiny audience.

* Music/MCHammer's "Pumps and a Bump" had a music video where Hammer and an entourage were having a beach party, and he was wearing a speedo. That "bump" had the video banned by MTV, so he sent an alternate video in an icy landscape and more modest clothes.

** "Blood on the Dance Floor" also has three videos: The original version, the re-cut "Refugee Camp" version, which featured alternate scenes, and a re-shot version that was filmed on 8mm film. Sony reportedly hated the 8mm version, despite Jackson's approval, and vetoed an official release.

Sometimes, on Youtube, you want to watch and listen to music videos of your favorite musicians or just want to discover new music. But what's this? You see another music video of the same song, and it's different from the one you watched with millions of views.

*** The full ten-minute video from ''Film/{{Moonwalker}}'', which featured a spoken interlude. This version is considered the "official" version, and is featured on Jackson's YouTube channel.

* Music/BubbleButt has a MindScrew of a music video featuring, among other things, a GiantWoman inflating women's butts, turning an apartment into a dance club full of female dancers, weird discoballs, and [[spoiler: one of the female dancers getting [[EatenAlive eaten]] at the end.]] However, there's a more generic alternate video comprised of close up, black and white shots of video hoes and money.

* Music/GlassTiger's song "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone"'s original video, which played in their native Canada, had the band in a brightly colored fake suburb with cartoony drawings of people on cardboard cutouts. When the song started to do well in the US, MTV took one look at the video and said they weren't going to play it. That resulted in a quickly produced second video which is little more than a straight performance video set in a fairly small venue with a tiny audience.

Sometimes, on Youtube, you want to watch and listen to music videos of your favorite musicians or just want to discover new music. But what's this? You see another music video of the same song, and it's different from the one you watched with millions of views.

Sometimes you search the song on Wikipedia, you find out it had another music video. The chances of finding it can vary, with the video on the offical channel at best, at low-quality resolution at an unofficial channel at second best, or in [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition a rare edition]] of [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes a long-discontinued physical format]] at not the most optimal.

There are a plethora of reasons on why there's another music video. Factors can include international marketing, censorship (perhaps corollary with the international marketing if some scenes might be too violent or too sexy for the aimed region), time limitations if shown in broadcasts, [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition exclusivity on bonus packs and collector's editions]], for choreography purposes, [[VideoFullOfFilmClips promotion for a movie]] (provided people [[BreakawayPopHit remember OR know]] it came from that movie) or the first attempt was just [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible horrible]].

Several KPop artists do this where they upload two music videos: one is the official music video where some acting and a storyline are usually involved along with the main parts of the choreography, while the other is only for the full choreography.

LyricVideo can be in relation to this. Compare {{Fanvid}} and StupidStatementDanceMix, where fans compile alternate music videos using other content, sometimes in sync with the music.

* 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.
* Two versions of Music/BobbyBrown's "Humpin' Around" video are known to exist: The standard short version, and a rare recut extended version, featuring alternate shots and outtakes that were left out of the original video.
* Music/BoyzIIMen released two videos for "Vibin'": One featuring them recording in the studio, performing onstage, and partying, and the more well known one that shows them performing in an underground boxing ring. The latter was filmed for the song's remix, and also featured Treach, [[Music/WuTangClan Method Man]], Music/BustaRhymes, Music/SeanCombs, and the late Music/CraigMack, all of whom were guests on the remix.
* Music/{{BTS}}:
** "I NEED U" has the regular version, and "I NEED U (Original ver.)". The former is a censored version of the latter due to violent scenes, to the point that to really follow the Music/BTSUniverse story both are part of, it's necessary to watch the uncensored Original version.
** "FAKE LOVE" has an extended version that expands a bit on the story (featuring the Rocking Vibe Mix).
** There's a video for "IDOL" and for "IDOL (feat. Nicki Minaj)", the latter using alternative takes from the former plus an appearance by Nicki Minaj for her verse. It also adds videos posted as part of the fan-organized #IDOLCHALLENGE at the end.
** "Boy With Luv" and "Dynamite" have alternative versions ("ARMY with Luv version" and "B-side", respectively) heavily featuring [[DeletedScene outtakes]], including mistakes and general goofing around.
** "Black Swan" has the Art Film version (featuring orchestral instrumentals with a performance by the MN Dance Company, with BTS themselves [[TheInvisibleBand being absent]]), and the main official video featuring the members in the Los Angeles Theatre.
** There are 2 music videos for "ON": a pure PerformanceVideo titled "'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film : Come Prima", and the simply titled "'ON' Official MV", which features a full cinematic story set AfterTheEnd.
** A good bunch of older videos (plus "Dynamite"), which tend to have more cinematic elements, have an alternate "Dance version", using only takes featuring the choreography. There's also an existing dance version and a "Facial Expression" version of "Just One Day", though neither are posted on official channels.
** Japanese versions of singles often get their own full music videos. Some, like "Run" and "Blood, Sweat and Tears", are dramatically different from the original Korean music videos.
** "Life Goes On" has the "in the forest" and "on my pillow" versions, [[TheOner one-take videos]] originally filmed as part of the original version; "like an arrow", only featuring still images; and an "ARMY version" posted exclusively on BANGTANTV featuring a compilation of [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent Tiktok videos of fans singing]].
** "Butter" also has music videos for the "Hotter" and "Cooler" remixes; similar to the "in the forest"/"on my pillow" videos, it uses outtakes from a particular set. Since they're pretty much [[HarpoDoesSomethingFunny improvisation from the members]] (read: members goofing around), it works.
* "Safe and Sound" by Music/CapitalCities has the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWZr2F0qohA original version]] where it shows clips of wars and people dancing in {{progressi|veEraMontage}}on from UsefulNotes/WorldWarI to [[TurnOfTheMillennium the 2000s]], and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47dtFZ8CFo8 official version]] where an empty theater is brought to life with the duo and other dancers coming out of their posters doing a dance-off.
* Music/TheCardigans:
** "Erase & Rewind" features the band in a room where TheWallsAreClosingIn. Two versions of the video exist: One where they are saved in the nick of time, and another where they are crushed.
** The more famous version of the "Lovefool" video, with the band inside a bottle floating over water, is actually the second version of the video. The original, less TV-friendly version features elderly women in lingerie.
** Because the original version is quite violent, five different cuts of the video for "My Favourite Game" were made with varying amounts of censorship and different endings. Three of them end with singer Nina Persson dying in a car accident (in three different ways), while she survives the accident in the fourth version. The fifth version eliminates all of the violence in the video including the accident, and just shows Nina driving down the road the whole time.
* Mention Music/ChrisIsaak's "Wicked Game" and nearly everyone will immediately think of the sexy Herb Ritts-directed video of Chris and supermodel Helena Christensen frolicking on a Hawaiian beach. But there's also a second video directed by Creator/DavidLynch that was commissioned for the VHS release of the movie ''Film/WildAtHeart'', which combines footage of Chris performing the song with scenes from the movie.
* Music/EazyE planned to put out two versions of his "Real Muthaphuckkin G's" video, but scheduling conflicts with director Marty Thomas, and [[DiedDuringProduction Eazy's premature death]] scuttled that plan until 2015, when Thomas finished it, and released it as a "director's cut"; featuring alternate scenes, behind the scenes shots, and outtakes.
* Music/FooFighters: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FFIBjueBdo US video]] for "Times Like These" has the band performing under a bridge while people throw various things off the bridge to land near them, until eventually a (floorless) house is dropped on the band and the walls fall away around them. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhzmNRtIp8k international version]] has the band performing against various psychedelic backdrops and skies, before eventually they show the ChromaKey set the band are playing in at the end of the song.
* "Got My Mind Set on You" by Music/GeorgeHarrison has two clips. The first one features a guy deciding to draw a girl's attention by trying to WinHerAPrize. The second is the better known "Dancing furniture" clip.
* There are two different music videos of "The Valley of the Pagans" from ''Music/{{Gorillaz}}''. The first featured driving footage from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' which was uploaded on Website/YouTube. Five days later it was removed and a new video without the [=GTA5=] scenes was uploaded.

* Matt and Mike Chapman created an AnimatedMusicVideo featuring the characters of ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUgMpG1I_o8 Experimental Film"]] by Music/TheyMightBeGiants. In an interview prior to its release, John Flansburgh said there would be a second music video for MTV, [[SubvertedTrope but ultimately]], the ''Homestar Runner'' music video was also the one released on MTV.
* There are two videos to the song "Wisemen" by Music/JamesBlunt: one where he is abducted from a club by three masked (wise?) men and imprisoned in a shack on the beach, and one where he drives out into the woods, sets light to his passport and other personal documents, then [[SpontaneousHumanCombustion inexplicably bursts into flames]] while walking away.
* "Wuthering Heights" by Music/KateBush has two versions. The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1pMMIe4hb4 White Dress]]" version released in the UK and Europe has Kate emphasizing Cathy's ghastly nature by wearing a white dress and dancing in a motion blur effect. The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk-4lXLM34g Red Dress]]" version released in the US has Kate dancing in a grassy forest and wearing a red dress.
* Music/KatyPerry's "Thinking Of You" has two versions. The official one with the UsefulNotes/WorldWar2 theme where her first lover is killed in action and she unsatisfyingly settles with another man, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V6AxOFY0gM the other one]] where she claims it was "made by a friend" and was not meant to be released commercially. The video cross-cuts between a (later bloodstained) white room and a black room with two different men.
* Music/{{Keane}}:
** "Everybody's Changing" has one version where the group performs with a white background while they are slowly replaced by people of all ages and places as the camera pans away. The other one, titled "(Alternate version)", instead plays with wipe transitions between shots of Keane performing in a set with a sunset background and monochrome footage of them touring.
** One version of "Somewhere Only We Know" has the group helping a lost forest spirit reunite with other forest spirits; it has an US edition version that only has the footage of the group performing near a stream and traveling from the city to the forest, with no forest spirits to be seen. ''Another'' version, the official "(Alternate version)", has the group performing on a stage, which then transforms into a forest and then into a city.
** "This Is the Last Time" has 2 main music videos (plus 2 others unreleased in their official channel). The first switches between footage of the group performing in black and white and images of an animated forest where pink rain falls. The second has the group performing in a street, until the singer starts to wander through the city as much as the cable of microphone lets him, to then switch microphones as he keeps wandering.
* Music/JanetJackson's "Together Again" has two music videos: The most famous one, directed by Seb Janiak, features Janet and several backup dancers in an [[{{Afrofuturism}} Afrofuturistic paradise]] set on the Serengeti. The lesser-known version made for the "Deeper Remix", directed by Jackson's then-husband Rene Elizondo Jr., depicts her in an apartment remembering a lost lover.
* "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by Music/MyChemicalRomance has a music video made of footage from concerts and their daily lives while touring, and the other, far more well-known RealTrailerFakeMovie music video featuring the members as misfits in high school. Only the latter has been uploaded to the official Youtube channel, though the former was aired on television too in some places.
* Music/MichaelJackson had a few of his videos be recut or refilmed entirely:
** "Smooth Criminal" had three different cuts, all of which aired on TV in some form:
*** The full ten-minute video from ''Film/{{Moonwalker}}'', which featured a spoken interlude. This version is considered the "official" version, and is featured on Jackson's YouTube channel.
*** A shortened version set to the album mix, featuring alternate camera angles from the movie with a motion blur effect. This was shown in the credits of ''Moonwalker'', and was the main version that aired on TV for a time.
*** And a shorter edit of the ''Moonwalker'' cut that was condensed to 4 minutes for TV airplay. This one is the rarest of the three, and has only been seen sparingly.
** The original David Fincher-directed video for "Who Is It" wasn't aired in the US during its initial release, and was instead replaced by a compilation of footage from Jackson's previous music videos.
** "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.
* There are two music videos for "Porcelain" by Music/{{Moby}}:
** The first video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, and features a human eye being zoomed in on, and then zoomed out from, with various images such as Moby singing reflected in the eye.
** The second video was directed by Nick Brandt, and features Moby sitting in a car that is driving through various scenes without a driver, while Moby sings the song lyrics.
* Music/MysterySkulls' "Ghost" has two music videos; an [[WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated animated video]] spoofing ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'', and a live action video parodying ''Film/TheExorcist''. The animated one was supposed to be the only video for "Ghost", but production delays for it caused the Mystery Skulls themselves to create their own video in the meantime.

[[folder: N-Z]]
* Music/NatashaBedingfield's "Unwritten" consists of two versions. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7k0a5hYnSI North American version]] has her standing in the elevator and observes on several people and during the chorus, she stops over different floors leading to outdoor spaces like a park or children dancing. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFFBSSntZgs International version]] has herself contained inside a book as the book itself climbs up the library ceiling.
* Music/OKGo:
** "Do What You Want" had a video consisting in tour footage before they released "Version 2 (Wallpaper Background)", which has them and other people singing and dancing while they and their props are all completely covered in the same pattern as the background (and has nearly 5 times as many views).
** "This Too Shall Pass" has a music video where the members perform live as part of a marching band, and another, released months later, featuring an extremely elaborate RubeGoldbergDevice synced with the song.
* Music/{{Queen}}:
** There are two different official music videos for "Bohemian Rhapsody," the original version from 1975 and the ''Film/WaynesWorld'' version from 1992 that splices the original footage together with scenes from the film and other clips from the band's career.
** Two different videos of "Killer Queen" exist. The first, assembled for the ''Queen's Greatest Flix'' home video collection in 1981, plays the song over a photo montage of the band members. The second, which uses footage of the band performing the song on ''Series/TopOfThePops'', was used on later home video collections and is also the version featured on the band's official [=YouTube=] channel.
** At least three different videos of "Under Pressure" have aired at different times. None of the performers appear in the original video, which combines footage of large crowds, riots, and explosions with clips from 1920s silent films. ''Series/TopOfThePops'' later aired a second, censored version of this video in the UK that removed footage of explosions in Northern Ireland. A third version, made for the 1999 "Rah Mix" remix, digitally splices together footage of Freddie Mercury performing the song at Wembley Stadium in 1986 and David Bowie performing it at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992.
* The video for Music/{{Rihanna}}'s single "Work" featuring Music/{{Drake}} was released on Youtube as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL1UzIK-flA a double feature]]. The first version directed by Director X shows both Rihanna and Drake singing, dancing, and partying at a raucous Jamaican bar. The second directed by Tim Eren shows the two in a neon pink, blue, and white colored room alone, singing and dancing for each other.
* There are two takes for "It Must Been Love" by Music/{{Roxette}}. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxjaqBpiy-8 original]] has them performing the song on a Swedish TV show with them singing on a couch at a stage, and the reissue has them singing the song at a warehouse with Marie switching on black, white, and [[NudeColoredClothes nude-colored clothing]]. The reissue has two versions with the first one having movie clips of ''Film/PrettyWoman'' and the second one having no clips and is exclusive at ''The Videos'' compilation tape.
* Music/SnowPatrol's "Chasing Cars" has a UK and a US version. The UK version (which appears on Youtube as the "2007 version") features close-up shots of Gary Lightbody as he lies barefoot on the ground, even as rain starts to fall. The US version instead has him wandering and lying around in public places in a city while people pass him by.
* Music/{{Weezer}}'s video for "[[Music/WeezerTheGreenAlbum Island In The Sun]]" features two music videos. The first version was directed by Marcos Siega, where the band is shown performing the song at a Mexican couple's wedding reception. The executives at Creator/{{MTV}} disliked Siega's video, so the band commissioned director Creator/SpikeJonze (who had previously directed the videos for "Undone" and Buddy Holly") to film a second version. The second version features the band on a hilltop, playing with various wild animals (such as lions and monkeys). This version of the video was accepted by MTV and became the more popular/recognizable version.
* "Lush Life" by Music/ZaraLarsson has a version with her dancing alone in a simple white background (complemented with colorful animations and graphics), and an alternate version with her with a group of dancers and more elaborate, colorful backgrounds (plus some shots of a guy).
