- "Psyko" by Konnan and Mad One
- "619" by Jim Johnston and Chris Classic (WWE Anthology)

- "Booyaka 619" by P.O.D. (This version was later made more personal as he collaborated with the Christian nu metal band P.O.D., also from San Diego, California|San Diego, to create a new version of "Booyaka" entitled "Booyaka 619", which P.O.D. performed live at WrestleMania 22. The studio version is included on the Wreckless Intent album, however, while used as an entrance theme, the intro was replaced with that of the original "Booyaka". Since Mysterio's return from injury, the introduction from the original "Booyaka" has been removed, and the P.O.D. introduction is played instead for Mysterio's entrance.)
