"Who Could Win a Rabbit" is the first single from experimental pop band Animal Collective's fifth album, Sung Tongs.
Similar to the remainder of Sung Tongs, the song features a prominent usage of acoustic guitar. The song has a quick structure and, with regards to lyricism, is rather oblique and seemingly nonsensical. It also possesses an unusual time signature. Based in 3/4, which has been used repeatedly by the band, it has two sporadic bars in 4/4 and a bridge in 5/4.
It was ranked by
Pitchfork Media to be the 14th best single of 2000-2004.[1]
The song "Baby Day" is included on the single as a b-side.
Music video
The music video for Who Could Win A Rabbit was directed by Danny Perez, who subsequently directed the Animal Collective visual album
ODDSAC. The video features Avey Tare and Panda Bear as a rabbit and turtle respectively, racing each other in the same vein as Aesop's fable, The Tortoise and the Hare
, while Geologist and Deakin are spectators of the race. The video ends with Panda Bear killing Tare and eating his bloody remains.
