==Meaning/title==According to [[Trent Reznor]], "Capital G" refers to Greed[http://www.nin-pages.de/2007_Motor_de_April.htm], but could also be applied to political figures of the day (President George W. Bush, God, "Green" (Monetary systems)). Before performing the song on [[2007/05/24 Osaka, Japan|May 24, 2007]], Reznor said "To my friend George Bush." ==Miscellaneous===

* The text 'capital G' can be seen in [httphttps://yearzerowww.nin.comwiki/images/e/imge4/07.jpg one of the images] linked to from the official [http://[yearzero.nin.com/ |NIN Year Zero mini-site]]. It is edited onto the yellow box (actually a Metasonix 'Butt Probe' effects unit), third from the top in the first of the two columns.* On [[Exterminal]] from the album's [[Year_Zero#Alternate_Reality_Game|alternate reality game]], this song is used as evidence against Inmate A (presumably Reznor). It is in wav format in its entirety.* One of the Exterminal [http://exterminal.net/notes.htm subpages] is a page of notes mentioning "Capital G" at the bottom.* The multitrack files released for ''"Capital G'' " have an extra drum solo at the end of the song.

This is the original album version. It begins with an off-kilter beat, followed by a distorted synth bass. Reznor's vocal has an odd, halting cadence during the verses that somewhat corresponds to the lumbering nature of the beat. The chorus brings in a heavily distorted guitar squall, and a chaotic synth pattern at the end. The second verse adds in more synth and guitar layers. The second chorus adds background vocals and the "Greed!" chant at the end, and a layer of just barely audible horns underneath. The final chorus brings in yet another layer of background vocals.

===Capital G Phones 666 RPM mix main(Instrumental) ==='''''Running Time: 4:10''''' Released by Reznor through his remix.nin.com account, this unmastered version is the almost same as the album cut, save the lack of vocals and a different ending, which drops out all of the layers except the drum beat as it repeats for a few bars before stopping. This remix will be on is also the vinyl edition structure of the forthcoming multitracks for this song available on the ''[[Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.]]''data DVD.

===Capital G (Phones 666 RPM mix cleanMix - Main)===Coming soon.'''''Running Time: 7:25'''''

===This remix is on both the ''Capital G Phones 666 RPM clean edit===A shorter version '' promo and ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D''. It has a more dance-oriented beat and a few dub mix elements. The wind instruments used in the original seem to have disappeared entirely in this mix or were manipulated even more, making them sound nothing like the original instruments used. Some of the vocal treatments are reminiscent of the DFA remix of "Phones 666 RPM clean mix.[[The Hand That Feeds (song)|The Hand That Feeds]]" More information coming soon.

===Capital G switch An alternate title for this remix===This remix, found on the vinyl edition of ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D'' and the ''is "Capital G'' promo CD single is very different from the album version. It incorporates a house beat and minimalist lyrics. In addition, the melody is vastly different, sounding somewhat like radio feedback rather than distorted guitars or wind instruments, which were used in the original album version: Epworth Phones 666 Revolutions".

===Capital G (Ladytron—Finite Phones 666 RPM Mix - Clean)===Exactly the same as the main mix, but with the words "motherfuckers" and "shit" edited out. ===Capital G (Phones 666 RPM Edit - Clean)==='''''Running Time: 5:37''''' A shorter version of "Phones 666 RPM Mix - Clean". ===Capital G (Switch Remix)==='''''Running Time: 5:04''''' This remix, found on the vinyl edition of ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D'' and the ''Capital G'' promo CD single, is very different from the album version.

At the second verse, the vocals are layered under a bass line that acts as a counter-melody to the initial synth melody.
