Radio Ga Ga by Queen (From "The Works" Album from 1984). This video contains drastically improved video quality, resulting from digitally restored footage of Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927). The original "Radio Ga Ga" video used a poor quality print that was one of the only ones available at the time.

Only one clip of Metropolis footage from the original "Radio Gaga" video could not be replaced as the affected clip was not present on the restored release. The assumption is that the production company deemed it un-restorable and cut it out. Thus, the original clip from the Ga Ga video was used [00:26-00:31]. I guess you could call it a small marker of how different the two copies are from that shot to the next.

Note: Neither of the video streams are HD, but it seemed the only YouTube format that displays with decent picture quality.
