Starfuckers, Inc. from The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails. Always felt like they were trying to recapture the edginess of Closer and combine it with the techno fusion of The Perfect Drug and it just was too much. Would have rather had 10 Miles High make the album, but it’s obvious they were chasing a single. While The Fragile is my favorite album of theirs, Starfucker, Inc was not the lightning in the bottle they expected it to be and I’d argue nails hasn’t had a major commercial hit since The Perfect Drug; at least nothing on the same level as it, Closer, and the singles from Pretty Hate Machine.

I thought Starfuckers was supposed to be a parody of a Marilyn Manson song.
