"Starfuckers, Inc." (also known as "Starsuckers, Inc." in its edited form) is a song by Nine Inch Nails. The song is released as the fourth single from the double album, ''The Fragile''. Although the song does not have an official halo, a promotional edited single for "Starfuckers, Inc." entitled "Starsuckers, Inc." was distributed with exclusive radio edits, and a video for "Starsuckers, Inc." was produced. ==Song overview== Written by Trent Reznor and Charlie Clouser, "Starfuckers, Inc." is one of the heaviest songs on ''The Fragile''. The chorus is built on heavy metal guitars and massed, shouted choruses. The verses feature breakbeats, deep bass hits, and glitchy, stuttering vocals. The outro introduces more synthesizers, distortion and sound effects. "Starfuckers, Inc." deals with the self-involved vanity and shallow commercialization of fame. The song directly references "You're So Vain", Carly Simon's ode to a self-absorbed lover, by quoting the chorus: These lyrics were changed for the video version of "Starsuckers, Inc." to: Other than Marilyn Manson, the lyrics are often speculated to be directed towards Courtney Love. The video version of "Starfuckers, Inc." has changed to "Starsuckers, Inc.". The word "Starfucker" may have been taken from The Rolling Stones' song "Star Star" (original title "Starfucker") which appeared on their 1973 album ''Goats Head Soup''〔(【引用サイトリンク】 An Interview With Trent Reznor )〕 or more likely from the song "Professional Widow", also rumoured to be about Love, by Tori Amos, to whom Reznor was close prior to what he refers to as "some malicious meddling on the part of Courtney Love". The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2000, but it lost to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Starfuckers, Inc.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
