You could be on to something there. They did play together in the 90s as shown in this link

(and no, it's not a Rickroll)

But even so, if Reznor covered it you would think he would have credited the First Insectoid, as it's his song...

if this song exists, I'd like to hear it. I'm betting that it doesn't exist

I can't seem to find the original Nine Inch Nails version anywhere. Even when I go to listen to the Downward Spiral album, both on YouTube, and also on an album I re-bought, for whatever reason, it's some later version (I am assuming) that replaced it with a song called Piggy. I'm trying to look up information on it, but nothing appears to even acknowledge its existence.

Trent Reznor also covered Physical so I imagine this too was a ****ty nu metal ode to The Ant

I finally listened to this...what am I missing? The production sounds miserable.

Yeah, acoustics aren't great when you're strapped to a ship's cannon.

It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools, Trollheart.

It's not how big your tool is, it's where you stick it.
