* Singer [[Tori Amos]] has alluded to Nine Inch Nails in her lyrics: "Precious Things" mentions "demigods with their nine-inch nails" and "Caught a Lite Sneeze" contains the line "made my own [[Pretty Hate Machine|pretty hate machine]]." [[Trent Reznor]] sang back-up vocals on Amos' "Past the Mission". Amos sometimes included the opening line of "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" in live improvisations, sometimes with silly alternative lyrics such as "I hurt myself today/to find a jellybean." The term "[[Starfuckers, Inc. (song)|Starfucker]]" was used in Amos' 1996 song "Professional Widow" on the album ''Boys for Pele.'' Many believe that Amos and Reznor were more than friends, and Reznor has confessed that Courtney Love meddled in their friendship, causing them to drift apart. Some believe Amos's song, "She's Your Cocaine" is about the two of them. In 2014, Amos performed a live cover of "[[Something I Can Never Have]]".

The band later wrote new lyrics to the song and released it as "New Millennium" on the album ''Falling into Infinity.''
