Icelandic singer Björk released the song Alarm Call on her third album  Homogenic in 1997. It was the fourth single for the album and was ranked number 33 in the UK. This song will have two official music videos of which the first was never released.

The first music video for the song was directed by Paul White from Me Company. It was the same firm that produced the artwork for the Album and their respective singles. The music video is said to have featured Björk in a similar outfit to the one featured on the album cover. There was also said to be a dance scene in the Los Angeles subway system.

Björk was not satisfied with this music video. The second video was directed by fashion designer Alexander McQueen and was filmed in London in October 1998 in two days. Björk was satisfied with this version even stating on MTV News that the music video industry needed a "spank on the bum", and Alexander McQueen was the one to do the music video

No clips, scenes, storyboards, or such have been seen by the public from the first music. Björk also has not mentioned much from the music video. It can be assumed that the music video may not exist anymore.

Lost Music Video: The first music video for Anytime You Need a Friend by Mariah Carey

On May 24, 1994, American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey released her third studio album Music Box. The song Anytime You Need a Friend was the fifth and final single from the album. The gospel-infused song would then release a music video featuring for the first time Mariah Carey with straight hair instead of her signature curly. This music video was however not what was originally supposed to be released. 

The first music video was never released and was scrapped. It's unknown publicly why this music was scrapped. It doesn't show any semblance to what was released and possibly not the look they wanted for it. ET released some behind the scenes from music videos. These are what looks like Mariah in a long gown with a castle theme. While the final music video was based in a city.

Lost Media: Fake Doomsday PSA

 

Isn't an image from PSA and was created in Canva

"Fake Doomsday" or "Hoax Doomsday" are names given to a lost PSA ad shown only on IBC-13 during Top 10 Movie Trailers of the Week in the early 1990s in the Philipines. The PSA was about the biblical end-times prophecy, particularly that of the number of the beast. It was a strange and scary PSA and it was unknown who had created it or why they had. It's possible that it was a fundamentalist Christian group that had done it.

 

The ad would start with the word RAPTURE with a date on the bottom of the screen with the picture of Jesus Christ resurrecting in the background. Throughout the PSA ominous background music and a voice-over with "This is a paid advertisement" on the bottom of the screen. A series of slide show images would follow the title screen. The images were disturbing pictures from the Holocaust with witnesses describing the people in the pictures as being like those from concentration camps. The people were described as sickly, bald, pale, and skinny. Some images featured people being dragged by their necks. The number "666" is featured with a black font and an off-white background and what follows are photos of people with the number 666 on their forehead in the middle to end part of the PSA. The PSA said to end with a picture of Jesus Christ floating resurrecting in Galilee.
