The hit Nine Inch Nails song "Head Like a Hole" experienced a 300 percent surge in views following the release of the Black Mirror episode "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too."

The episode, which is one of the three new episodes released for Season 5, features Miley Cyrus playing the role of fictional pink-haired pop star Ashley O, who sings "On a Roll," a reworked cover of the Pretty Hate Machine classic, "Head Like a Hole."

Since the June 5 premiere of Season 5 of the popular science fiction series on Netflix, "Head Like a Hole" saw an average increase of 40,000 views per day on YouTube, which is a 300 percent spike from the average daily views from the year prior.

The lyrics to "On a Roll" were written by show creator Charlie Brooker, who received Trent Reznor's permission to alter the original words.

"Trent got it straight away, it was via email and he was really happy pretty quickly. He wanted to see the script and I got to re-write his lyrics in a chirpy way," said Brooker. "I’m not the best lyricist in the world, in the first song she’s singing: ‘I’m stoked on ambition and verve’ instead of 'You’re gonna get what you deserve'."

Oh honey, just tell me what you want me to
Oh honey, kiss me up against the wall
Oh honey, don't think anything, just have it all
