}}'''"Starfuckers, Inc."''' is the sixth track on the right disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' It While the lyrics portray a take on pop music celebrities in general, [[Trent Reznor]] has been speculated stated that this is a parody of the song also refers to [[Marilyn Manson (musician)|Marilyn Manson]] and his lifestyle, though the lyrics only support a generalized take against pop music celebrities in general.

The song started out as a drum loop that was created by [[Charlie Clouser]] for use in the [[Tapeworm]] project.[https://www.loudersound.com/features/tapeworm-the-nine-inch-nailspanteratool-supergroup-that-never-was] Reznor stated that he almost didn't put it on the album because of having a different feel from the rest of the songs.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmxgQIzz_Bo]

*Writing: [[Trent Reznor]] and Charlie Clouser, including some lyrics from Carly Simon's "You're So Vain."

* Contains a licensed [[samples|sample ]] of "Shout It Out Loud" by KissKISS

Released exclusively through Apple Music as part of ''The Fragile Instrumental,'' this is the album arrangement, but also retains the ending KISS sample used on the single version (, with an earlier fade out.) It lacks the KISS "Woooooo!" and the "[[Complication]]" guitar.

''The Fragile: Deviations 1'' version. This is about 25 seconds longer than the Apple Music version. The ending lacks the KISS "Woooo!", but still has the crowd noise overdubbing with the girls chanting "[[Nine Inch Nails]]!" However, that overdubbing ends after the girls, and the original KISS track applause continues, including the crowd chanting "We want KISS!"

===Starfuckers, Inc. (''The Day The World Went Away''cassette)===

This version has an extended ending, incorporating fireworks and applause from KISS's "Shout It Out Loud," found on ''Alive II'', an audience shouting "[[Nine Inch Nails]]!" and the beginning guitar riff of "[[Complication]]." The as the track then fades out. It is also overdubbed with crowd noise (looped twice) that includes some girls chanting "Nine Inch Nails!" The version on the cassette single lacks the "Complication" guitar, thus making and the chanting more audibleoverdubbed crowd noise continues on instead of looping, with larger crowd chants of "Nine Inch Nails!" in the audience.

This is a heavily censored version, released on the Starsuckers, Inc. promo disc and is the version used for the song's music video. It is identical to "Starsuckers, Inc." except that the bridge verse is changed from the Carly Simon lyrics. While this is ostensibly the version used in the music video, the music video actually contains additional censorings: "suck you" (instead of just "suck") and "taste" in the second verse.

A glammed-out Reznor and a strung-out, leggy blonde are riding in the back of a limousine. They stop at a run-down carnival at a trailer park , hosted by a one-armed dwarf, and participate in the games there. These games include throwing CDs in a toilet, smashing plates bearing head shots of popular musicians, throwing CDs in a toilet, breaking busts of various musicians (including Reznor himself), and a dunk tank the that involves a large man dressed like Courtney Love falling into a tank filled with toxic waste.

In a 2005 interview with ''Kerrang''[https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=171], Reznor gave the following insight:<blockquote>"You start out thinking you can change the world, but when cool people at clubs who wouldn't even talk to me were like, '"Whoah,he's got a platinum album, who's that guy?' " It was strange. I realised that the guys who beat me up in high-school were now in my audience. Money, fame, power - things I'd never had - those things are recipies recipes for massive personality distortion. In my life I was standing on the edge of a cliff about to jump off because my brain wasn't working. After ''The Downward Spiral'' I felt like I had to make the best record in the world but my addictions meant my head was packed with cotton. '"Starfuckers, Inc.' " doesn't fit in with the rest of that record, but it came from bits of lyrics I'd written over a long period and was focused at Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love. I'm not saying I haven't fallen prey to this at times, but I think in their environment your priorities can totally flip before you realise."</blockquote>
