* "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 Ibiza house 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.

* The best-known version of Music/NewOrder's "Bizarre Love Triangle" is the Shep Pettibone remix, which has been the basis for all live performances of it since 1998.

* Music/TheBlackEyedPeas released "Let's Get Retarded" around the time they were transitioning into a pop act, and accompanied it with a radio-friendly remix, "Let's Get It Started", which in addition to changing sensitive lyrics also slightly polished the song's production. ValuesDissonance undoubtedly applies today, but even at the time of release "Let's Get It Started" was probably one of the few [[{{Bowdlerise}} Bowdlerised]] versions of a song that is more well-liked than the uncensored original.

* BTS' "Mic Drop" was eclipsed by the Steve Aoki remix, mostly due to the fact that the music video uses the remix and not the original song.

* The original version of "JustForFun/{{Caramelldansen|Vid}}" is actually a midtempo Eurodance song. The version that is a {{meme|tic mutation}} is the much faster [=SpeedyCake=] remix

* The Living Tombstone's remix of the Odyssey song "Discord" has overtaken the original to the point that it has over five times more views on Website/YouTube than the latter, and to the point that [[CoveredUp many firmly believe that Tombstone's version is the original, and Odyssey's version is the remix]], even though it's clearly Odyssey who sings in both versions.

* Music/ShaniaTwain's "From This Moment On" was originally a duet with Bryan White, but was turned into a solo song for the pop remix due to White not being very well-known. Due to the crossover appeal of the solo version, the Bryan White version has largely been pushed aside except for the occasional country music station.

* The best-known version of UK singer Duke's "So In Love With You", which was an international club hit in the late '90s, is the [[https://youtu.be/L_wM6lHdnog house remix]] by Full Intention. Few if any people remember the pop-disco [[https://youtu.be/sGbVyOnHUpw original version]].

* Music/EricBAndRakim's "Paid in Full" is well-liked in its original form, but Music/{{Coldcut}}'s "Seven Minutes of Madness" remix is probably the best known version of the song as it became a dance hit overseas, and its sample-heavy style was influential for a wide range of genres.

* Although Music/VeraLynn's 1939 recording of "We'll Meet Again", backed by a solo electric organ, was hugely successful at the time, it has since been eclipsed by the orchestral remake produced for the 1942 film of the same name, which was used at the end of ''Film/DrStrangelove''.

* The Vengaboys' "Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine)" originally met with mixed to negative reception, with the bubblegum dance genre being DeaderThanDisco [[AmericansHateTingle in most countries]] by the time of its release, whereas the InNameOnly Airscape remix was far more popular, particularly among the EDM/trance community.

* The Motiv-8 remix of Dubstar's "Stars" was more popular than the slow original version.

* Music/InformationSociety's [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes rare first release]] of their debut single "Running", also included on their similarly hard-to-find debut album ''Creatures of Influence'', was rushed out by Wide Angle Records with embarassingly bad vocals by [[ThePeteBest Murat Konar]]. It was quickly pulled from stores and remixed by freestyle producer Joey Gardner into the definitive version featured on their 1988 SelfTitledAlbum, with re-recorded vocals and a revamped chorus. The 2008 rerelease of ''Creatures'' uses the instrumental of the original, but the vocals of the remix.

* Kygo's [[PosthumousCollaboration posthumous remix]] of Music/WhitneyHouston's cover version of "Higher Love"(originally a Japan-only bonus track on ''I'm Your Baby Tonight'') became a worldwide smash hit in 2019, [[DeadArtistsAreBetter seven years after her death]]. In some countries, it even surpassed the Steve Winwood original, also making it a minor case of CoveredUp.

* The Music/PetShopBoys' original version of "West End Girls", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXRqGfF64zQ produced by Bobby Orlando in 1984]], was only a minor club hit that year and is all but unknown to the mainstream. [[https://youtu.be/p3j2NYZ8FKs The 1985 Stephen Hague-produced re-recording]], which is slower and has slightly different lyrics, was a #1 international pop hit, and is the version featured on their ''Please'' album. Ditto "One More Chance", which was first released as a [[BSide double A-side]] with "West End Girls" before being reworked into the much better-known version that kicks off ''Actually''.
