Subject: Songs that have alternate music videos

Written By: whistledog on 03/16/21 at 1:52 am

Where Does My Heart Beat Now? was a hit single for Celine Dion from her first English album titled Unison released in 1990.  A black and white music video was filmed for the Canadian release, but a color concert style video was filmed for the song's American release.

In 1991, a third music video was created that blended both the Canadian and American versions, but keeping the black and white, and was released on the Unison VHS home video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_KH0zsCE3Y

In 1986, a dance pop duo from Ottawa called One to One had a Top 20 hit in Canada with There Was A Time.  To promote the band in America, a different music video was filmed, but the song failed to chart on Billboard.  Another case of "when good songs get overlooked" I guess

George Harrison
"Got My Mind Set On You"
1987

The first one is the original and got most of the airplay on MTV. or should I say VH-1, which was created at that time by MTV for the older or "classic" artists. The second video was aimed at a younger demographic, and, if I recall, I saw it only once or twice. It didn't get nearly as much play. It wasn't very "Harrisonesque".
