 Video ===Credits:===

Being a staple NIN song with its high energy segued by two piano breakdowns, there is a live performance video of "March of the Of The Pigs" on each of their live releases. In the live set, the band extends the song by including an amped up version portion of "All The Pigs, All Lined Up" at the end of almost every performance.  In most performances in the pre-''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'' eras, the songs starts with similar high pitched squeals as it does in the performance music video for the song. The [[Live: With Teeth|With Teeth Tour]] arrangement started with [[Alessandro Cortini ]] playing the synthesized bassline twice, stopping for Josh Freese to play eight bars of the drum pattern before the band launched directly into the first verse. Reznor typically starts the song with the spoken lyrics "C'mon you pigs... march!".
