===Head Like A Hole===
The version that appears as the first track on ''Pretty Hate Machine,'' it's perhaps one of the most well known [[Nine Inch Nails]] songs. Its pounding synth bassline, tribal rhythms and chants, layered guitar and catchy double chorus are all signature aspects of the song. The stereo wipe at the end fades into the beginning of "Terrible Lie." The tribal chants are sampled from "Samburu Warriors' Initiation (Kenya)" taken from field recordings under the title ''East Africa Ceremonial & Folk Music'' (performed by the Samburu Tribe of Kenya and recorded by David Fanshawe.)[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G08Wvtspmjo]There is a sample from 3:12 to 3:19, first appearing in the right channel and then the left, that may be a saxophone.

===On A Roll===
[[Image:AshleyOart.jpg|thumb|Digital single artwork]][[Image:NIN_BLACK_MIRROR_TEE.png|thumb|Promotional T-Shirt]]In June 2019, the anthology TV series ''[[wp:Black Mirror|Black Mirror]]'' aired the episode "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too", which featured versions of "Head Like A Hole" and "[[Right Where It Belongs]]" with new lyrics written by Charlie Brooker and recorded by Miley Cyrus, entitled "On A Roll" and "Right Where I Belong" respectively. Cyrus also recorded direct covers of both songs, all of which were sanctioned and approved by Reznor - a rarity for any cover of Nine Inch Nails. The songs were recorded and released under the name "Ashley O", Cyrus' character name in the episode. The band also released a collaborative t-shirt on their website, featuring Brooker's new lyrics.
====Lyrics====
Oh honey, I'll do anything for you
Oh honey, just tell me what you want me to
Oh honey, kiss me up against the wall
Oh honey, don't think anything, just have it all
Yeah, I can't take it, so don't you fake it
I know your love's my destiny
Yeah, I can't take it, please demonstrate it
'Cause I'm going down in history
Hey, yeah, whoa-ho, I'm on a roll
Ridin' so high, achieving my goals
Hey, yeah, whoa-ho, I'm on a roll
Ridin' so high, achieving my goals
I'm stoked on ambition and verve
I'm gonna get what I deserve
So full of ambition and verve
I'm gonna get what I deserve
Oh honey, let's get in through the door
Oh honey, not concerned who sees us ripping up the floor
Oh honey, we'll go dancing wherever you choose
Oh honey, you know we just can't lose
Yeah, I can't take it, so don't you fake it
I know your love's my destiny
Yeah, I can't take it, please demonstrate it
'Cause I'm going down in history
Hey, yeah, whoa-ho, I'm on a roll
Ridin' so high, achieving my goals
Hey, yeah, whoa-ho, I'm on a roll
Ridin' so high, achieving my goals
I'm stoked on ambition and verve
I'm gonna get what I deserve
So full of ambition and verve
I'm gonna get what I deserve
