"Ants Marching" was the second successful single off of the Dave Matthews Band's 1994 album Under the Table and Dreaming. It reached #18 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and received some album-oriented rock play as well. It was originally on their album Remember Two Things. A version of this song live 3/26/05 will also be featured on the Dave Matthews Band compilation album The Best of What's Around Vol. 1.

This song is about how people just do the same thing day after day, like ants marching. "Does his teeth, bite to eat, and he's rolling, never changes a thing." The title of the album is mentioned in the verse "Goes to visit his mommy, she feeds him well, his concerns - he forgets them, and remembers being small, playing under the table and dreaming."

With its distinctive semi-start-stop beat and unusual imagery, it is one of the best-known Dave Matthews Band songs among the casual rock music audience.
