Prior to Betty's release, the song appeared in alternate form (mixed by Butch Vig, with notably added feedback loops in the chorus and a distorted outro instead of a fade-out) on The Crow soundtrack as "Milktoast". A music video, using sequences from The Crow movie, was made for "Milktoast", and went into regular rotation on MTV.
