Kudos to the folks over at Stereogum for pointing out this video, combining everyone's dueling fondness of Scottish rock and lovestruck otters. Franz Ferdinand guitarist Nick McCarthy, or rather his side band Box Codax, lends soundtrack to these heartwarming, hand holding, critters.

Bizarrely, it seems that their song "I Swam With the Otter" actually predates the viral video to which it's been married. Nick's lucky this opportunity came along, as I'm not sure this one is primed for the pop charts when removed from this adorable context. I hear the Erol Alkan remix is impeccable, however.
