I have several songs where I think they could have done better on the album version.

This includes a lot of Mink Car:

• Bangs - Snapping Turtles had the more John-y lyrics in my opinion.
• Man, It's So Loud in Here - The first demo just had more soul, in my opinion. I get they were going for Pet Shop Boys pastiche/parody, but I really liked the general 80s vibes of the original demo.
• My Man - There's a demo that has some better compositional choices in my opinion.
• Another First Kiss - I prefer the one from Severe Tire Damage by leaps and bounds.

Another addition is I like the Severe Tire Damage version of They Got Lost more than the Long Tall Weekend version.

Are there any songs that didn't get a music video that you guys think deserved one?

Personally, I think of "We Want a Rock" from Flood, "Thunderbird" from The Spine, and "Brontosaurus" from BOOK.

I had a bizarre experience once where I was telling a friend I like the band, and of all the songs he could have known from the band, he only knew (and really liked) "Let's Get This Over With". I love that song, but I find it funny it's not one of their kids albums or Birdhouse in Your Soul.

Have you guys had any similar tales?
