The video (and all artwork from the band, since formation) relates to the fact that "Van" is a test tube baby. You'll find reference to this in every song or artwork in some way. Enjoy. x
Best part of the song. My friend and I attempted it and well we got laughed at by our friends but they clapped! We played this in a bar with a very very small crowd. This song made me wanna learn guitar; such a fun song to play.
And production, this has far more guitar 'noise' noticeable in the mix. Slightly different backing vocals as well (less harmonies in chorus). The solo has a few discrepancies too
Darling I'm done for once And as soon as I get outta here I plan on coming back for nothing But then again there's you And although this town does flaunt All the stuff you need to feel at home I plan on taking from it nothing, But then again there's you You see, Abby she's got to wait Until she gets you on your own So she can make you make mistakes Then you can offer to take her home And it's not like I don't miss it none But the quicker I drink more in here The quicker I lose track of you But I know you wouldn't want that And although this town does plot Much thicker stories than I care to talk You, you've ducked them in style And I've always loved you for that You see, Abby she's got to wait Until she gets you on your own So she can make you make mistakes And you can offer to take her home And now she's wearing that top you love And she's topping it all off By acting like somethings up She always knew how to pull the strings You see, Abby she's got to wait Until she gets you on your own So she can make you make mistakes And you can offer to take her home And now she's wearing that top you love And she's topping it all off By acting like somethings up She always knew how to pull the strings
I love this song and the animation but I think I love the karate kid references even more. It took me a while to realise what the animation is in the style of/hinting at but it's quite clever
Am I the only one that prefers this version (the EP version) to the album version? I mean it's just my opinion but the vocals are sung straighter and it just seems to draw a better foil with the instrumentation. I do feel that the solo and the drums on the album version are a little better, so both versions have their advantages. I just don't understand why Catfish and the Bottlemen took the EP off of Spotify while keeping the full album up. Why not just have both versions? They didn't change Kathleen or Cocoon, so why change Rango?
I fully agree with you. For many of us and myself included like was the first song we ever heard of theirs so it has sentimentality. I wonder what the band would say?
Michael Hagen I completely agree with you! At 2:13, his vocals go higher at 'And now she's wearing that top you love and she's topping it all off...' and it is fantastic!
Michael Hagen I agree I like the ep version better. The one part I miss is the second gutair in the album version in the second and third hook, if you don't know what I mean check it out gutair tabs the notes are A# G# F# F lol
Van's voice could cure cancer
+Julia Marshall so fucking true
+pretty rad kaitlyn Except it's not?
true
+Paul Rayner so fucking true
easily the most underrated band ever...
scotty p true
When you wanna talk about the rating you should know how famous the genre is
i think their biggest problem is the radio doesnt play their really good songs, it plays the kinda lame ones.
Couldn't agree more !
Yeah, but that means that we are the lucky ones who has found this gem.

2:31 Ah yes, my favorite Star Wars character, Luke Spermwalker
No sperms were harmed during the making of this video.
Road Bike Party 2, the greatest video on youtube.
road bike party 1 was pretty awesome too
XD they are both the most badass vids I've ever seen!
It took me Hours just to find this!!!
Yoooewww 🤘
When he hits that falsetto near the end....OMG IM IN LOVE

When I have kids and they ask me how babies are made, I will show them this video, and also just to give them good music taste.
0:14 in the top right corner is playing band called 'Spermfish and the Bottlesperm'
If only biology lessons were like this...
That would be amazin but we would be even dumber because this isnt how it works 😂
Fitzymagic thanks for clearing that up
CrazyBeautifulLife58 no worries, any time...
xox
exactly
I think the best thing to do here is not to question it. Just embrace it.
in 20 years:
mom, how are babies born?
[plays video]
i seen these lads preform 57 days ago and i was front row, they are brilliant in concert. miss them so much.
first saw this video at 4000 views, so glad these guys have made it! they deserve it.
They should make another animated video for one of The Ride songs
👍🏽
Just shared this song with 150+ people is a small Calgary club in Canada, loved by all!!! It's a hit....
"no sperms were harmed during the making of this video", thanks for letting me know that cause i was worried about them
Road Bike Party 2 brought me here. But this is an awesome music video by itself!

Road bike party 2 sent me here awesome video and song

I listen to this every single day
As you should!
so i went through all that in da womb??? crayzyyy
Of course this song plays as I do my developmental psych homework on conception
This song was played pre-match at Old Trafford. I immediately recognized it, congratulations lads you've made it!
So, SO much better than the album version
+ZeppelinG1993 Whats the different?
+NICK_WANTED not much really I'm not sure why he's saying it's so so much better really
yeah I want this song in the album this song is so much better to the other
What? Nah
And production, this has far more guitar 'noise' noticeable in the mix. Slightly different backing vocals as well (less harmonies in chorus). The solo has a few discrepancies too
that guitar solo 😩
This is the best thing ever
Going to see catfish live at Anaheim house of blues September literally cant wait
Catfish and the bottlemen are the bollocks, i'd love to see them live
I was linked here from a friend. Never hearing of the band/song but I am rapidly loving their sound. Oh the Jedi Sperm helped a lot...
Acabo de conocer la banda este año y es perfecta.
This song takes me there.
I was trying to find this song for the longest time but I forgot the name of the band. I found this by searching "Rango the sperm"
how does this not have more views?
amazing song. addicted!
this is the best i have ever listen to,what a melodious voice carfish,keep it up
You look at the entire song differently once you see this.
Just amazing
Awesome 👽
My favourite song of all time
Same
Darling I'm done for once
And as soon as I get outta here
I plan on coming back for nothing
But then again there's you
And although this town does flaunt
All the stuff you need to feel at home
I plan on taking from it nothing,
But then again there's you
You see, Abby she's got to wait
Until she gets you on your own
So she can make you make mistakes
Then you can offer to take her home
And it's not like I don't miss it none
But the quicker I drink more in here
The quicker I lose track of you
But I know you wouldn't want that
And although this town does plot
Much thicker stories than I care to talk
You, you've ducked them in style
And I've always loved you for that
You see, Abby she's got to wait
Until she gets you on your own
So she can make you make mistakes
And you can offer to take her home
And now she's wearing that top you love
And she's topping it all off
By acting like somethings up
She always knew how to pull the strings
You see, Abby she's got to wait
Until she gets you on your own
So she can make you make mistakes
And you can offer to take her home
And now she's wearing that top you love
And she's topping it all off
By acting like somethings up
She always knew how to pull the strings
You're a good one ! Thanks
I love the ending lol
Heard this in topshop and FINALLY found it ahhh
They should play this in sex ed lessons for kids at school and also just to give them better music taste😂
yesss same 😂😂😂
+Kate Smith Agreed
omg ikr !!!
Kate Bennett agree 100% 😂
Memories... I was 15 when I first heard this
Rumour has it they made this video solely so they can name the city "spermingham"
i like the instrumentals in this version
I love the original version of this song so much.
this song and video are both awesome haha
Till she can make you make mistakes and you can offer to take her home- sick band!!
took me 2 minutes and 13 seconds to realize that Rango is sperm XD
Me too. I should have known something was up when the flyer said 'cum-fu'
XD
Or you know.... The fact that the city is called "Spermingham"
MrAhmuleque took me 10 seconds, i was already sceptical at the spermingham bit :)
i find this video so weirdly satisfying
2:53 Nice poster
At least someone who noticed it!
Finally!
OMG *-* Love it
Best music EVER!!!
💕💖💟these guys.....totally picked me off the floor watching last year.....thankyou Van xxx

The way can sings in this version is a lot better, feels more raw!
This version is way better. As well as the original version of pacifier
Michael Hagen I completely agree with you! At 2:13, his vocals go higher at 'And now she's wearing that top you love and she's topping it all off...' and it is fantastic!
