* 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" finds her "{making her} own [[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]]".
