}}'''"March Of The Pigs"''' is the fourth track on 1994's ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' It has one of the most unique unusual metres of any song to enjoy popular radio play, alternating three measures of 7/8 time with one measure of 4/4 time in the verses (in effect, a 29/8 time signature). The chorus is in the common 4/4 time signature. As a result, with eighth notes getting the count, the song has a BPM rate of 269. The chorus of this song shares its chord progression with the bridge of "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]."
===Meaning===
A previous version of the video was partially shot but abandoned, and is included in glimpses on the ''Closure'' DVD. The band performs the song in a red, cave-like set with water at their feet, with a troll-like midget in costume running in and out of the set.
