Franz Ferdinand’s Nick McCarthy is Box Codax, and he’s also a YouTube troll (just like you!). Cynthiaholmes’s unbearably cute vid of otters holding hands pushed Box to the point of composing for it an original soundtrack, entitled “I Swam With The Otter.” If you haven’t emailed your mom today, this would be a good time.

UPDATE: Turns out Box Codax wrote this song prior to having seen this video! Odd? Absolutely — but still very cute.

    “I Swam With The Otter” was written and recorded long before the otters holding hands video came out. But I have been thinking of the song every time I see that video. :)

    Box Codax released their album sometime in the fall of 2006. Their album is nothing like you would expect from McCarthief, but it’s alright.

  5. Dear Cynthia,

    We market a 120-year-old brand of OTTER safety shoes in Germany and I was intrigued by this video. Would you agree to emailing me the video file for use internally within our company? Danke schoen!
