* StylisticSuck: The video for "Nic mi się nie chce" is made in a rather lazy way, because it's a song about being lazy and dismotivated.

embarassing typo


* CanNotSpitItOut: "W tramwaju" ("In the Streetcar") is about a lady in love with a guy she sees everyday in the streetcar, but it's just not proper for her to make the first move. So she just fantasises about marrying him. [[spoiler: But he's simpli BlindWithoutThem and physically can't notice her.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithLlamas: Żaklin is an alpaca. So is the song's adressee's boyfriend. Ranko also covered "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBOtzhY72Zk Myszojeleń]]", an educational song about the Vietnam mouse-deer, which probably counts. Or maybe it's just RuleOfCute.

Ranko is a girl who has an ukulele. And crayons.

What she does may be described as FolkMusic, or simply as cute, funny, friendly, [[ThreeChordsAndTheTruth unpretentious songs]] about love and everyday stuff, current issues included. Also various covers. Many of the songs are accompanied by chibi animations with the lyrics and a bunch of characters, some recurring (spot the Christmas Dinosaur!)

Ranko also sings in English, if you're interested.

Here's her Website/YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyZgdW0q-DN78XA1_CycZrA

!!Ranko sings about these:

* EverythingsBetterWithLlamas: Żaklin is an alpaca. So is the song's adressee's boyfriend. Ranko also covered "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBOtzhY72Zk Myszojeleń]]", an educational song about the Vietnam mouse-deer, which probably counts. Or maybe it's just RuleOfCute.
* FirstWorldProblems: "Całe życie pod górkę", a tragic songs about lack of snacks and muddy shoes.
* FromBadToWorse: "Biedronki ludojady" ("Man-eating ladybugs"):
--> Więc nawet gdy już gorzej być nie może - ''So even when it can't be worse''\\
O, jednak jest gorzej! - ''Oh, but it is worse!''
* FoodSongsAreFunny: Usually just mentions of food, often sweet food, but "Lodówka" ("Fridge") is an entire Funny Food Song. Also "Kluska" ("Noodle").
* HiddenDepths: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O26Dc1O3aE Jesieniara]]" ("Autumn Girl", yes, Polish doesn't really have a word for an autumn guy, though it could be easily coined, we don't know either) is about a guy who loves autumn along with all the stereotypically "autumn girl" things (cocoa, ginger, pumpkin spice latte, walks, woolen clothes and snuggles), but hides it.
* NiceHat: Ranko's doodle incarnation wears a classic Warsaw flat cap (except with a cute flowery pattern). She also wears one in the video for "Jesieniara".
* NobodyLovesTheBassist: In "Żaklin"
--> czy kogoś to obchodzi - ''does anyone care''\\
że Twój chłopak jest alpaką, gorzej jakby był rasistą - ''that your boyfriend is an alpaca, it'd be worse if he were a racist''\\
lub czymś gorszym, recydywistą lub basistą - ''or even worse, a criminal or a bassist''
* MagicRealism: Christmas dinosaurs, Santa, alpacas (who date people) and evil ladybugs coexist peacefully with streetcars, people in love, people arguing and making up, and the plague of COVID. Anthropomorphised.
* MelancholyMusicalNumber: "Przegryw" ("Loser") is about, basically, feeling depressed. "Smuteczek" ("A Tiny Sadness") is a little less sad, but features HeartbreakAndIceCream.
* MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness: Usually 1-2.
* MoneySong: "Nic mi się nie chce" ("I Don't Feel Like Doing a Thing"), a bit, because the singer wants to earn money to buy herself things, but can't. Because she doesn't feel like it.
* LeFilmArtistique: Żaklin is as difficult to understand as a French movie, apparently.
* SillyLoveSongs: Not particularly ''serious'' love songs, but love is a constant subject nonetheless.
* SpidersAreScary: Not, you know, very, since in Ranko's world nothing is.
* ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: You can find the chords underneath the video.
* UnholyMatrimony: They never get married in the song, but... ''Pan Demia i Pani Kara'' (pretty much untranslatable, it's about {{Anthropomorphic Personification}}s of the COVID pandemic and panic, respectively):
--> chciał się w sumie już ewakuować - ''he actually wanted to evacuate''\\
ze związku z Panią Karą wydostać się spróbować - ''get out of that relationship with Pani Kara'' [[note]]Pani Kara = mrs. Kara, but actually Panic[[/note]]\\
lecz ona nie jest łatwą do rzucenia osobą ''but she's not that easy to dump''\\
i powtarza: nic nie znaczysz, gdy nie jestem z tobą ''she says "you're nothing without me"''
