Cyriak Harris, the creative mind behind many disconcerting videos, paired an original song with an animation of a cheeky whale that hijacked a boat, stole a guitar from a dead man, and then tied itself into knots in mid-air before returning to the sea.

I made a funny little song and decided it needed a funny little video to go with it, so here it is.

This is Cyriak’s first personal animation since “Honk” in 2023.
