"Rattlesnake" is a song by Australian rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard released in 2016 as the lead single from their ninth studio album, Flying Microtonal Banana. The song is notably the band's first full foray into microtonal music, which was previously only briefly utilized on "Robot Stop" from Nonagon Infinity. Microtonality would be explored in full on the rest of Flying Microtonal Banana and subsequent albums such as K.G. and L.W.
Although often considered an iconic song in the band's discography, and winning accolades like Song of the Year at the Music Victoria Awards of 2017, the song's repetition and length have made it polarizing.
