'''"Piggy"''' is the second track from the 1994 album ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' It is the first song to feature a live drum performance by [[Trent Reznor]], and one of the many to include the phrase "[[Nothing Can Stop Me Now]]".
According to the Filter biography on their official website, former live guitarist [[Richard Patrick]] reportedly received the nickname "Piggy" while in Nine Inch Nails. As well, "Piggies" is a song on The Beatles' 1968 self-titled (or 'white') album, a noted influence on Charles Manson, who scrawled the word "pig" in blood on the front door of the Sharon Tate mansion wherein he and his 'Family' killed Tate and several others on August 8, 1969. The mansion was also where Reznor recorded ''The Downward Spiral'' in 1993-4. Whether or not Patrick or the Tate murders are directly related to this song is unknown, though Reznor kept the Tate door when he moved to [[Nothing Studios ]] in New Orleans.
