* WhatCouldHaveBeen: They Might Be Giants originally wrote an entire movie's worth of songs for the film version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}''. Only the Other Father's Song made the final cut. The director blamed ExecutiveMeddling (although one planned song was never even written because the Johns decided [[ThrowItIn the joke song the writers came up with for the scratch track was good enough]]), and he's expressed a desire to work again with the band to do a movie based on their music.
** They released the song "Careful What You Pack" over a year prior to the movie's release. What originally sounded like a metaphorical song about cautiously moving on in life turned out to be a direct summary of the movie/book's underlying themes.
** [[TheClash Joe Strummer]] was supposed to sing the bridge of "Cyclops Rock", but he was unavailable for some reason, so the band instead settled on Cerys Matthews, singer for Welsh indie band Catatonia because she just so happened to be in the same studio at the time.
** ElvisCostello was apparently supposed to produce ''Apollo 18'' at an early stage.
