* Music/YeahYeahYeahs' "Heads will Roll" was the second single to their third album "It's Blitz". A catchy dance-rock composition, it would later be remixed by Canadian DJ A-Trak which was notably used on Film/ProjectX. Then, the remix ''itself'' was remixed by Soundcloud artist J-VHC, which saw his creation used on a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf5R2ke7ogI meme of a Brazilian dancing dog which went viral.]] Today, most people would either express shock over learning there is an original version of the song, or even glee of finally hearing the unremixed version.

* The Music/{{Skrillex}} and Music/{{Nero}} remix of Monsta's "Holdin' On" (you know, that [[RefrainFromAssuming "my hope will never die"]] song) is more popular than the original version, largely thanks to its inclusion in numerous [[MemeticMutation MLG Montage Parodies]] on Website/YouTube and ''VideoGame/{{Asphalt}} 8''.

* The original mix of Music/{{Tiesto}}'s "Theme from Norefjell" was apparently lost and never released to the public. The definitive version is the "Magikal Remake" mix. Ironically, the 2004 remix, featured on the Olympic Games live mix album ''Parade of the Athletes'' as "Coming Home", was based on the DJ Jan & Christophe Chantzis mix, which has a completely different melody than the other versions.

* "Ferrari Horses" was a modest hit in 2021 for British hip hop collective D-Block Europe and singer Raye. Two years later, an unofficial remix by Cassö blew up on TikTok, and was released as a single, under the title "Prada". It charted at #2 in the UK Singles Chart, much higher than the original's #14 peak.

* Music/TheCorrs's cover of Music/FleetwoodMac's "Dreams" didn't do much until Todd Terry got hold of it; the remix's success sparked a slew of other remixes from the parent album, all of which vastly outperformed the originals. A Special Edition rerelease of the album, with the originals replaced with their remixes, boosted the album to the top of the charts.

The latter version is only clearly heard in the credits and Disney only promotes the former version so few people who have heard the song even realize Disney changed it.

* "Sing it Back" by British electro band Moloko was originally a percussion-heavy techno single combined with sultry vocals from singer Róisín Murphy. However, the version most familiar to the public was the remix made by German DJ Bela Dlugosch, which replaced the percussions with a catchy disco-inspired Main/HouseMusic beat. As a result, it became the band's Main/SignatureSong, was a critical and commercial success (Hitting number one on the UK Singles Chart, and charting highly in Europe, North America, and Australasia), and has been hailed as one of the best dance songs ever composed.

* Music/SteveWinwood first recorded the song "Valerie" in 1982, but it barely missed the top 50 in his native UK and peaked at #70 in the US. After Winwood started working with mixer Tom Lord-Alge on his albums to achieve greater success in 1986, Lord-Alge remixed and rereleased the song in 1987, which hit the top 10 in the US and the top 20 in the UK. And this was before it was sampled for "Call On Me" in the 2000s, which was in itself an example of this trope (see above).

* Music/YellowMagicOrchestra: In a case where a whole ''album'' was subjected to this, the 1979 US mix of ''Music/{{Yellow Magic Orchestra|Album}}'' by Al Schmitt is generally much better-known than the original 1978 Japanese mix by bandleader Music/HaruomiHosono. Part of this is due to the Schmitt mix being the only version officially available outside of Japan before 2003, but even in Japan it overtook the Hosono mix in popularity and was even functionally adopted by the band as the canonical version of the album, to the extent where the Hosono mix took until 1992 to see a CD release in its home country (CD releases before then exclusively used the Schmitt version). To this day, the Schmitt mix is the one most heavily prioritized in reissues; on double-CD and double-LP releases that contain both versions, Schmitt's version is consistently placed on disc one.
