판소리 다섯 마당 가운데 하나다. <토끼타령>, <별주부타령>, <토별가>라고 불리기도 한다. 이야기는 바닷 속 용왕을 위해 육지로 토끼의 간을 구하러 간 거북이의 모험과 토끼의 갈등을 다루고 있다. 거북이가 토끼을 속여 바다로 데리고 오지만 자신이 위험에 처했다는 것을 알게 된 토끼는 용왕을 속여 다시 육지로 돌아온다.

Sugungga is one of the five surviving pansori stories called madang, and the story is also known as The Song of the Rabbit or The Song of the Terrapin. The Dragon King of the Sea sends his servant, a terrapin, to bring a rabbit’s liver to cure his illness. The terrapin meets a rabbit and brings the rabbit to the sea palace, but the rabbit lies, says he left his liver at home, and runs away from being slaughtered.
