What are some of the most popular demo/early mix versions of songs you know that speak to the phenomenon known as "demoitis"?

 

The way this has 22M views...what gives

the way she ATE this

 

 

The demo version of Lady Gaga's "Aura" comes to mind but I don't know if it counts.

Chained to the rhythm, chained to the rhythm dance with me my baby

The demo of Alejandro had a much more rougher feel bit the album version is still flawless.

Too many from Lana to list tbh

Ma ma pa pa pa

I distinctly remember Z100 playing a snippet of this on air and I think proceed to trash Britney which was uncalled for

 

 

Lana's National Anthem The Nexus version is amazing. It might be well known

 

"Famous" demos? I guess Taxi by Charli XCX. 

Break the Ice (Demo) 

Idk if it's famous but Demi ate Camila up

 

 

 

Intended for her debut English crossover album  alot of views for being a demo recorded decades ago being uploaded decades later

 

 

The fact this almost has 9M

 

 

 

 

Is there anything more iconic?

 

 

Run Devil Run 

 

i think it even went viral on tiktok

The Madonna's Gimme All Ur Luvin one was played a lot on radio when it leaked… i don’t know how her label didn’t sue radios here in Chile
