{{song| title="Supernaut"| album = ''Black Box Recordings''| length = 6:41| versions = Supernaut| live = N/A}}'''"Supernaut"''' is a song originally written and recorded by Black Sabbath and covered by [[Ministry]] side project [[1000 Homo Djs|1000 Homo DJs]]. Several versions of the song exist, and though [[Trent Reznor]] recorded the original vocals for the song, several debates exist as 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 which re-record the vocals himself, and this is the version contains his contributionsthat 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. There has been much speculation amongst fans over the years as to whether Jourgensen actually re-recorded the vocals or whether he remains uncredited just manipulated Reznor's vocals to sound different; however, both Jourgensen and Reznor have been unequivocal in numerous interviews over the years that Jourgensen appears on the official releases due to contractual spats with single, and Reznor appears on the then-bootleg version. This is one of several [[TVT RecordsSongs misattributed to NIN|songs misattributed to NIN]]. ==Recording==The liner notes in the ''Black Box'' say the following about the recording:<blockquote>Al and Paul found themselves late one night with Trent Reznor, recording Ministry's ''The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste''. The result of that night's session was the Art Linkletter-introduced cover of Black Sabbath's "Supernaut". Included here for the first time is the Trent Reznor vocal of this song. </blockquote> Assuming the recollection is accurate, this seems to indicate that the recording of "Supernaut" took place in 1989.

I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun, but I don't need want to fly I'm gonna climb up every mountain of on the moon And find I found the dish that ran runs away with the spoon
Supernaut
Supernaut
I've crossed the ocean, turned done every bendland I found the plastic near a crossing at the golden rainbows rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years and , it never bothered me
Bothered me
Got no religion, don't need no friends
Got all I want and , I got no need to pretend Don't try to reach me, cause I'd ll tear up your mind I've seen the future and I'll d leave it all behind
Supernaut
