Version of Song as heard in a movie different than version on album or CD soundtrack


Two examples: "Footloose"(Kenny Loggins), and "Hungry Eyes"(Eric Carmen).

The overall arrangement and tone of the songs, on album vs when used in
the movie, are more than different enough to notice, but not so different as
to not recognize the hit song.

Any reason for this? BTW I actually like how "Hungry Eyes" sounds in 'Dirty
Dancing' compared to how it sounds on the soundtrack album - lead and
backing vocals are more in front, and song is just half an octave lower in
key and slightly slower speed.

This comes to mind: Lulu, To Sir With Love, circa 1967. Something odd about that soundtrack release.
