This is the final album version. Opening with a thumping beat and a synth melody, Reznor's reverberating vocals 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 [[samples|sampled]] from the beginning of [[Jane's Addiction]]'s "Had a Dad," which leads into an entirely different beat, sampled from "Alphabet St." by Prince. This is accompanied by a synth that sounds very similar to the one used in "[[That's What I Get]]" and vinyl scratching.
===Twist (Demo from ''Demos & Remixes'')===
'''''Running Time: 4:47'''''
The "Twist" recording on ''Demos & Remixes'' includes the spoken lyrics printed at the end of "Ringfinger" in the ''Pretty Hate Machine'' liner notes. There also exists a version (with a running time of 4:32) from a cassette tape handed out by Reznor to important figures. One of these cassettes is in the possession of [[Martin Atkins]], who has allowed fans to hear excerptsplaybacks. Based on what fans have heard, this is the same demo.
