* Similarly, "3 Inch Horses, Two-Faced Monsters" was left off Music/ModestMouse's ''The Moon And Antarctica'', appearing only as a 10 second segue between "A Different City" and "The Cold Part". The full song is a little over four minutes long, and appeared on the outtake/BSide compilation EP ''Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks''.

* Only the chorus of ''WesternAnimation/TrollsWorldTour''[='=]s cover of Music/{{Scorpions}}' "Rock You Like A Hurricane" is heard in the actual movie. The full song is only available in the movie's official soundtrack album.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has generated almost three dozen albums of music, and without counting all the remixes less than half of the songs have been played in the comic's flash sequences. A few others have only played shortened versions. Any of these may get their screentime in the future, but likely not all of the best produced so far:

** This is lampshaded at one point, when something cuts a flash animation short and the text even points you to the Bandcamp page to see how much of the music (and therefore the flash) you missed.

* Ember [=McClain=]'s song was never played fully in her debut episode of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. The full version of "Remember" is a lot more innuendo laden than the chorus and goes into depth about her backstory.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' does this quite frequently, as songs that briefly appear in an [[QuarterHourShort eleven-minute episode]] will have 3-5 minute long album versions. Although, a few have been excluded from the albums in favor of original songs: the instrumental "Crush my Battle Opponent's Balls", "I'm Downloading Your Soul", and "My Inner Child Tied and Beaten in My Trunk", though the latter has an extended demo version uploaded on the show's official Website/YouTube page.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': In the "Freeform Jazz" scene from "Grandma's Kisses", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4sEcIHG0Yc the original scene]] plays a five-second clip of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgFy5L11Umw the much longer full song]].

* The famous [[FanNickname Burger-kun]] of ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'''s second season had a rockin' guitar theme that was oddly reminiscent of ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''. It never played again.

* In the first ''Film/ResidentEvil'' movie, during Spencer's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XezGwjU3Z8w flashback scene]], the track that plays is an instrumental of "Cyanide 2600" by Spineshank. Neither this song, nor any song from the band, is on the official soundtrack, and while the version with vocals is on their album ''The Height of Callousness'', this version has yet to be found in full.

* Ember [=McClain=]'s song was never played fully in her debut episode of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. The full version of "Remember" is a lot more innuendo laden than the chorus and goes into depth about her backstory.

* The song playing in the background of the first half of the bar scene in ''Film/TheFly1986'', [[Music/RoxyMusic Bryan Ferry]]'s "Help Me", was originally commissioned by the producers to play under the film's end credits. While director Creator/DavidCronenberg liked it -- it's a SanitySlippageSong using the point of view of the DoomedProtagonist -- he knew that stylistically it clashed with Music/HowardShore's orchestral underscore too much to serve as an effective playout, and the producers came to agree with him, so it was cut down and demoted (albeit preserving the MythologyGag in the song's title); it does not appear on the soundtrack album at all. Nonetheless, it was released as a single in the United States and even received a VideoFullOfFilmClips. Its only CD release to date was as part of Ferry's 1988 GreatestHitsAlbum ''The Ultimate Collection''.

* "Kabhi Kabhi Aditi" from ''Bollywood/JaaneTuYaJaaneNa'' became extremely popular among UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} fans. However, some of these same fans were dismayed that its picturization pretty much just shows Aditi sulking and Jai following her around.

* With the exception of the ones that play over the end credits, ''every'' song in ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'' qualifies to some extent, though not always by design. All four musical numbers -- "Great Big World", "Be Prepared", "The Schnitzel Song", and "Top of the Woods" -- got pared down in the editing room (a rarity for animation!) for dragging out the pacing. Likewise, "The Real G" and "Tree Critter" were written as full-length songs despite having very short screen time. "Red Is Blue" also had a second verse that doesn't appear in the movie. Finally, a number of songs ("Little Boat", "Runaway", "Eva Deanna", and "Glow") were written as, essentially, fake licensed songs, right down to having lyrics that have little or nothing to do with the movie. They have less than a verse worth of screentime each. All of them appear in their entirety on the soundtrack, if you can still find a copy.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' [[UpToEleven takes this to a whole new level]] with the "Freeform Jazz" scene. For reference, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4sEcIHG0Yc here]] is the original scene, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgFy5L11Umw here]] is the full song. It's over '''63 TIMES''' shorter than the original song.
