Changes

}}'''"Ringfinger"''' is the tenth and final track on the 1989 release ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]],'' telling about a man who is devoted to a woman who refuses to commit to him and his outrage at her using him, even though he does truly desire her. The demo version of this song was called "Twist," composing of the same basic music which remains musically almost identical but different uses alternate lyrics and a slightly more victimizing subject matter.

This is the final album version. Opening with a thumping beat and a synth melody, Reznor's reverberating vocals come dominate the verses. A different beat is introduced during the second verse, while vocal harmonies and a synth pad enter during the choruses. During the break, there is a short distorted guitar riff before the final verse and choruses. The end of the track comes in after the final chorus with a funky guitar riff playing over a panned drum beat. This is followed by a scream sampled from the beginning of [[Jane's Addiction]]'s "Had a Dad," which leads into an entirely different beat, accompanied by a synth that sounds very similar to the one used in "[[That's What I Get]]" and vinyl scratching.
