Scissor Sisters want to cover NIN’s “Piggy”
The fabulous Scissor Sisters, whose new album Night Work comes out (sure, pun intended) on June 28th, have said they want their next cover song to be Nine Inch Nails’ “Piggy” from The Downward Spiral.
Frontman Jake Shears spoke to Spinner and said that he’s a huge fan of Trent Reznor. “I love cover songs and I’ve always wanted to do a honky-tonk version of ‘Piggy,’” he said. “Me and [bandmate] Babydaddy are huge fans of Nine Inch Nails, I think Trent is a real genius.”
The cover song that helped Scissor Sisters gain some of their fame was their take on Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb”, turning it into a dancey, disco tune.
Regarding their upcoming LP, Shears described it as “over-the-top, a real party album. It’s a celebration of sex in a lot of ways, there’s all sorts of points of view in there, gay, straight and everything in between.” He added, “There’s some of the filthiest stuff we’ve ever written, but we’ve made it all so everything is innuendo to keep the radio people happy. The album is one ecstatic, joyful, sadistic disco nightmare!”

I was never really a big fan of Scissor Sisters, but I think I may just give them a listen now. NIN is brilliant.
