'''"Supernaut"''' is a song originally written and recorded by Black Sabbath and covered by Ministry side project [[1000 Homo Djs|1000 Homo DJs]]. [[Trent Reznor]] recorded the original vocals for the song, but Reznor's record label, TVT, refused to allow him to appear on the song, due to their ongoing [[TVT Records#Dispute|contractual disputes]]. Al Jourgensen was forced to re-record the vocals himself, and this is the version that appears on the official single release.
However, the Trent Reznor Vocal Version had already been released on the ''[http://www.discogs.com/release/1563339 Wax Trax! Sampler #2]'' promo cassette, and it gained widespread distribution in the NIN fan community through its inclusion on the ''[[Halo 00]]'' and ''[[Demos and & Remixes]]'' bootlegs. Following the acquisition of Wax Trax! by TVT in 1992, the legal obstacles were removed, and the Trent Reznor Vocal Version was officially released on 1994's ''Black Box - Wax Trax! Records: The First 13 Years''.
Jourgensen self-reissued the "Supernaut" single on digital and limited edition vinyl in 2021, containing both the Al Vocal and Trent Vocal versions.
