What songs or covers of songs used in movie and/or movie trailers but never got a proper release?

Doesn't have to be strictly movies, TV shows also!

My favorite one was the trailer for Ready Player One, with Take On Me but with orchestral music added. Wished it had a proper release.

Also, the Shrek 2 Funkytown version with the fanfare intro.

I think it might have been released to some capacity, but Metric made a song called Black Sheep but they didn't release it because they didn't like that it sounded "to much like Metric". This song was redone for the movie Scott Pilgrim VS. the World, where they had Brie Larson sing the lyrics.

The scene in Dune Part One where the Bene Gesserit arrive on Caladan has an amazing score but it’s not in the official soundtrack.

I haven't been able to find a full version of the cover of "I Have a Dream" that Black Mirror used in Fifteen Million Merits. Better than ABBA's version IMO.

At the end of the Strange New Worlds musical episode, after the curse is broken, there’s a cover of the TOS theme that didn’t make it onto the album.

Bastille did a cover of Happy Together that was used in a Toyota ad, but there's no release of the full song

Cat Power sang a short cover of Space Odyssey for a car commercial. It never got released into a full cover and it kills me to know it may never see release.
