"Who Could Win a Rabbit" is the first single from experimental rock band Animal Collective's fifth album, Sung Tongs.
The song is notable for its quick and poppy structure and its obscure and seemingly non-sensical lyrics. 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 rated by Pitchfork Media to be the 54th best single of 2000-2004 . The song "Baby Day" is included on the single as a b-side.
While the song has no confirmed meaning it is commonly interpreted as being a message to slow down and take life easy, like the Tortoise from The Tortoise and the Hare.

Spurts from the terror of his oncoming;”
