Some have compared the beat to Tears For Fears' "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" and Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel." [[Multitracks]] for this song were released in [http://remix.nin.com raw WAV, GarageBand and Ableton Live formats] via [[remix.nin.com]]. ===Song Credits===* Drums: [[Josh Freese]]* Brass/winds musical arrangement: Jeff "Double G" Gallegos* Baritone sax: Jeff "Double G" Gallegos* Tenor sax: Matt Demeritt* Trombone: Elizabeth Lea* Trumpet: William Artope ==Meaning/title==According to [[Trent Reznor]] in [http://www.motor.de/motormeinung/motor.de/nine_inch_nails_der_apokalyptische_reiter.html this interview] (German), "Capital G" refers to Greed, but can also be applied to political figures in the present 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."

==Versions==
===Capital G===
This is the original album version.
 
===Capital G (Edit)===
This radio edit is on the ''Capital G'' promo CD. The words "motherfuckers" and "shit" are deleted.
 
===Capital G (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 is also the structure of the multitracks for this song available on the ''[[Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D]]'' data DVD.
 
===Capital G Phones 666 RPM Main Mix===
'''''Running Time: 7:25'''''
 
This remix is on both the ''Capital G'' 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 "[[The Hand That Feeds (song)|The Hand That Feeds]]."
 
An alternate title for this remix is "Capital G: Epworth Phones 666 Revolutions."
 
===Capital G 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 Clean Edit===
'''''Running Time: 5:37'''''
 
A shorter version of the "Phones 666 RPM clean mix." More information coming soon.
 
===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. 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.
== Versions =Capital G (Ladytron—Finite Climax Mix)==='''''Running Time: 5:04''''' This remix appears on the vinyl edition of ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' It begins with a synth melody very different from what is heard on ''Year Zero,'' and vocals come in shortly thereafter. At the second verse, the vocals are layered under a bass line that acts as a counter-melody to the initial synth melody. = Capital G =Live==This is "Capital G" made its live debut on [[2007/05/13 Melbourne, Australia|May 13, 2007]] at the only known version Metro Nightclub in Melbourne, Australia. It was played at most shows on the Australia/Japan leg of the [[Performance 2007]] tour, but dropped off the setlist after the first show of the present momentEuropean summer leg and has not been played since.

I pushed the a button and elected him to officeand a He pushed the a button and he it dropped the a bomb You pushed the a button and could watch in it on the television Those motherfuckers didn't last too longha ha I'm sick of hearing 'bout the haves and the have nots Have some personal accountability The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me
I'm sick of hearing about the have and have-nots Have some personal accountabilty The biggest problem with the way that we are doin' things is The more we let you have the less that I'll be keepin for me Well I used to stand for somthingsomething Well Now I'm on my hands and knees Turning Traded in the my God of for this warone And he He signs his name with a Capital G
Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
Don't really see what all the fuss is about
Ain't gonna worry about bout no future generationsand a And I'm sure somebody's gonna figure it out Don't try to tell me that how some power can corrupt a person You hadnhaven't had enough to know what its it's like
You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head 'cause because you know that I'm right—all right... alright!
Well I used to stand for something
There's a lot of me inside you
Maybe you're afraid to see
Well I used to stand for something
Well Now I'm on my hands and knees Turning Traded in the my God of for this warone And he He signs his name with a Capital G A background chant comes after each of the final two choruses:
