Hurt has been covered by a variety of artists, such as Matthew Good, Breaking Benjamin, Underoath, Aaron Lewis, Sevendust and Sharon Van Etten. The song gained a new wave of popularity in 2002 when it was famously covered by [[wp:Johnny Cash|Johnny Cash]], at the recommendation of producer [[wp:Rick Rubin|Rick Rubin]]. This caused a lot of confusion for the audiences of Cash, who generally weren't familiar with the work of [[Nine Inch Nails]], often resulting in miscrediting the song to Cash. In Cash's version, the line "crown of shit" is changed to "crown of thorns," but is the lyrics are otherwise unchanged.
A version by [[Peter Murphy]] with Trent Reznor on piano was released exclusively through iTunes in 2009, while Murphy was releasing a string of covers. It was recorded in the studio, presumably during the same time period as the [[With Teeth: Summer Tour 2006 Radio Collaboration]].
