}}[[image:1992_-_(Promo)_-_Physical.jpg|thumb|''Physical'' Promo]]'''"Physical"''' is a hidden track on 1992's ''[[Broken]]'' EP that was originally written and performed by [[Adam Ant|Adam and the Ants]] on their 1980 album ''Kings of the Wild Frontier''.[[image:1992_-_(Promo)_-_Physical.jpg|thumb|''Physical'' Promo]]
When ''Broken'' was first released, this and another extra track, "[[Suck]]," were placed on a Mini mini CD that was packaged with the EP. But after allegations that some music stores were removing , for the mini CD and selling it separatelyfirst pressing of 250, 000 copies. Subsequent pressings incorporated the two tracks were incorporated onto the EP as tracks 98 and 99, with tracks 7–97 consisting of one second of silence each. At the beginning (approx. 27 sec.) of the song, [[Trent Reznor]] can be heard saying, "Eat your heart out, Stevehttp://www." This is possibly directed towards [[Steve Gottlieb]] of [[TVT Records]] with whom Reznor had been feuding, as Gottlieb would not let him out of his contracttheninhotline. The entirety of ''Broken'' was created without the knowledge of TVTnet/archives/articles/manager/display_article. In the credits, "Barks and Roars" are attributed to Maise, Trent's dog at the time of recording. At 3:36, barking and "Ow! Fucker" is heard being played at half speed over the track, as Maise - then a puppy - was playing with [[Sean Beavanphp?id=327]] in the studio, and bit him. (One of the recording techniques employed on both "Suck" and "Physical" was to play the guitar riff at double the speed of the track, and play the resulting recording back at half speed, for a unique, extra thick sound.) According to a previously unreleased interview Reznor did with ''Melody Maker'' magazine, "Physical" was supposed to be a "tongue-in-cheek" cover. It should be noted that the Adam and the Ants version is named "Physical (You're So)" and features an extra verse.
