Changes

This remix mostly consists of manipulations of the drum loop, though it also loops several of the guitar parts toward the end, which ascend in tempo until crashing thunderously. It also contains [[samples ]] from the 1951 musical film ''ShowboatShow Boat'' and some psychedelic narration by Timothy Leary. Interestingly, [[Skinny Puppy]] had used the same Leary samples on their song "Left Handshake," but were forced to remove the song from their ''Last Rights'' album due to clearance issues. "Fist Fuck" was heard in the film ''Resident Evil,'' in the scene where Alice (Milla Jovovitch) fights the zombie dogs.

"Wish" has become a staple of the [[Nine Inch Nails]] live shows, performed at nearly every show, due to its high energy and guitar-oriented structure. The instrumental bridge is played by guitars rather than synthesizers in nearly every instance. When this song debuted on the [[Lollapalooza Tour]] in 1991, it was musically very similar to the final version, but with different lyrics. The bridge lyrics of "I can't turn back, but I want to..." were sometimes sung during the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle]] and then were ususally absent on subsequent tours.
