The video features the band performing the song live in front of a white wall backdrop. or Trent This video was the last video to be played on MTV2's fans''Increase the Beat'', on Memorial Day weekend 2002. At 269 BPM, it had the fastest tempo of the 400+ videos that were played that weekend. A previous version of the video was partially shot but abandoned, and is included on the ''[[Closure]] '' DVD. The band performs the song in a red cave-like set with water at their feet, and a midget appears. ==Performed Live==Being a staple NIN song with its high energy segued by two piano breakdowns, there is a live performance video of "March of the Pigs" on each of their live releases: ''[[Closure ]]'', ''[[And All that Could Have Been]]'', and ''[[Beside You in Time]]''. In the live set, the band extends the song by including an amped up version of "All The Pigs, All Lined Up" at the end of every performance. In most(?) performances in the pre-[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]] eras, the songs starts with the same high pitched squeal it does in the performance video for the song. Since the start of the [[With Teeth Tour]], the song now starts with a synth line that matches the one played behind the second set of measures for the song originally (this section now completely omitted from the song, the guitars coming in completely along with they synth after the first drum run through.)
