[edit] Video
A video was produced for this song. The video begins with cEvin Key in a graveyard with a child. The scene then moves to an office where a man, while working, has a heart attack and dies. In the graveyard Key begins filling in an open grave filled with various office supplies, while this is occurring Ogre is singing a refrain that contains the line, "execute economic slave." The video features a curious style of letterboxing, that utilizes the extra space at the top and bottom of the screen with various distorted imagery.
[edit] Influence
- Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails has stated that Dig It was the inspiration for the his first single "Down in It," which was also the first song he ever wrote. [1]
