Its sad when someone comes along and re-does a song, and people dont even know the original artist.
Since this cover is done by the great johnny cash, I can forgive the ignorance of not knowing the original was done by nine inch nails (which just happens to be my favorite band).
Just dont ever confuse any Pop remixes for original works - thats just musical blasphemy.

Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor wrote it, but Johnny Cash remade it and took out the curse words to make it his own.

Actually, the song was written by Trent Renzor. Nine Inch Nails were the first to sing it.

Trent Reznor wrote it in the mid 90's it is on The Downword Spiral. Rick Rubin produced Johnny Cash's version on Nothing records which is also NIN's label.
