"Dig It" is a single by industrial rock band Skinny Puppy, off their 1986 album Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse. Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor said "Dig It" was a primary influence for the first Nine Inch Nails song, "Down in It".[2]

In 2015, Treble magazine named "Dig It" one of the ten most essential industrial songs to come out of the 80s.[3]
