* The UsefulNotes/PlayStation port of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}} 2'' uses a slower, creepier arrangement of Kazuya's theme for his [[OneWingedAngel Devil form]], unlike the arcade version, where both forms used the same arrangement. Likewise several of the PSX reaarrangements of the stage themes, as well as the mid-boss theme, are more relaxed than their arcade counterparts.

* [[Music/{{Eurythmics}} Annie Lennox's]] hit 1995 version of "No More I Love Yous" not only CoveredUp an obscure 1986 song by the UK duo The Lover Speaks (who had been discovered by her Eurythmics bandmate Dave Stewart and had opened for them on tour), it also counted for this, since the original is a solidly midtempo PostPunk song, while Lennox slowed it down and gave more of a DreamPop sheen.
