Ahead of their UK tour, The Decemberists have unveiled previews of their 'Make You Better' video starring Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman.

Set on a fictional TV show 'The Old Blue Rock Palace' both videos feature Offerman playing an inept and ill-informed German journalist Franz Lieberwurstschlesser who insists upon calling frontman Colin Meloy "Clown Melon".
