}}'''"Starfuckers, Inc."''' is the sixth track on the right disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' It has been speculated that this is a parody of [[Marilyn Manson (musician)|Marilyn Manson]] and his lifestyle, though the lyrics only support a generalized take against pop music celebrities in general.
This is the version found on ''The Fragile''. Slowly fading in with a quiet beat and moving synthesizers, the first verse then erupts, with locked drum loops and synthesized bass. Reznor's verse vocals were recorded and cut in such a way that each word sounds like it is from a different vocal take, possibly as a stab at the pop music celebrities the lyrics seem to satirize. In contrast, the chorus is loud and guitar-heavy, with several repeated group shouts. A wah guitar solo similar in sound to the one from "[[The Wretched]]" connects to the second verse. After the second chorus, the song quickly quiets for the lonely guitar-and-vocal bridge before erupting back into the loud chorus.
===Starfuckers, Inc. (Instrumental) (Apple Music)===
Released exclusively through Apple Music as part of ''The Fragile Instrumental,'' this is the album arrangement, but also retains the ending KISS sample used on the single version (with an earlier fade out).
===Starfuckers, Inc. (Instrumental) (''Deviations 1'')===''The Fragile: Deviations 1'' version. This is about 25 seconds longer than the Apple Music version.
