"Make You Better" (video)

The Decemberists' song "Make You Better" is a soft, beautiful ballad, but they have given it a decidedly silly treatment with its new music video.

In the goofy clip, the band appear on a fictional German talk show called The Old Blue Palace Rock Show, hosted by Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman. It begins with Offerman awkwardly interviewing frontman Colin Meloy and getting confused between the words "better" and "butter." We then see a chaotic performance from the band, in which Meloy wears overalls while Offerman fantasizes about a producer on the show.

Watch it below. What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World will be out on January 20 through Capitol Records.
