Album Notes & Community Reviews

Heavily influenced by the 1980s new wave and dance-punk movements, this track features an upbeat, synthesizer-driven groove that contrasts sharply with Trent Reznor's nihilistic lyricism. Its music video, directed by David Fincher, famously utilized cutting-edge CGI to depict a pin art sculpture singing the lyrics.
