* Music/CatHairballs: The music video cuts an opening dialog where [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy]] are exchanging gifts, which ends with Stimpy hwarfing the titular hairballs all over Ren as the latter's "present" before the song proper starts. The music video cuts this and instead heads straight into the song.

* Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians' song "Madonna of the Wasps" was modified quite a bit for its music video. The music video adds a new opening verse to the song, which serves as a slow build-up to the normal first verse. Also, the song now has a "cold" ending instead of the fade-out heard on the normal version.

* Music/{{REM}} 's "So. Central Rain" features a new live lead vocal due to Michael Stipe refusing to lip-sync to the original track, finding the experience too fake. (In fact, Stipe wouldn't lip-sync for a video until 1991's "Losing My Religion".) The rest of the band is playing along to the original backing track.

* ''Music/{{Garbage}}'''s titular song for ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' lacks one lyric in both the version that plays in the opening credits and the music video version that appears in the album version, because it is a pretty heavy spoiler.

Added DiffLines:

* Music/{{Gorillaz}}'s "Clint Eastwood" added a new intro with an actual sample of ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'' (along with Murdoc laughing) and understandably shortened the outro that lasted nearly 2 minutes in the album to just 30 seconds.

** The "Even Flow" video features a different studio recording of the song the band did with second drummer Dave Abbruzzese; the new recording was also used for the UK single.



** In an effort to make "Sweet Child o' Mine" more marketable to MTV and radio stations, the song was [[ExecutiveMeddling cut from 5:56 to 4:00 for radio, with much of Slash's guitar solo removed]]. This move drew the ire of the band members, including Axl Rose, who commented on it in a 1989 interview with Rolling Stone: "I hate the edit of 'Sweet Child o' Mine'." Radio stations said, "Well, your vocals aren't cut." "My favorite part of the song is Slash's slow solo; it's the heaviest part for me. There's no reason for it to be missing except to create more space for commercials, so the radio-station owners can get more advertising dollars." The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w7OgIMMRc4 video version, which clocks in at 4:12]], split the difference by using the same edits except for Slash's solo, which was kept fully intact.
