Herman Dune / Jon Hamm

The following are four of our favourite things: Jon Hamm, Puppet-y Whatsits, Herman Dune, Funny or Die. Maybe you agree. Maybe you only like a few of said items. And maybe you'd just like me to cut with the pre-amble and show you some pictures of Jon Hamm's dreamy-dreamy eyes, already.

(For readers relating to that last point, skip below the blurb to ogle Hamm in a new Herman Dune music video, "Tell Me Something I Don't Know." You're welcome.)

Hamm plays an (unusually attractive) dude, cruising the highway in a vintage convertible when he comes across a cute and fuzzy little blue yeti. (Think something between a mute Ewok and one of those puppets from the old "Don't You Put It In Your Mouth" PSAs.)

The Mad Men star gave a run-down of the video's plot to Interviewmagazine earlier this spring: "It's a little story about a lost yeti, a lost little snowman creature ... who is blue and sad because he is lost; and he gets picked up by me, and I decide to try to cheer him up by taking him to a rock-and-roll show in Austin, Texas, which I think works."

That show, of course, would be an equally cute outdoor set by French indie duo Herman Dune.

Hamm told Interview that he travelled to Austin, Texas -- right in the middle of this year's South By Southwest festival -- to be a part of the clip. Apparently the video's producers, Funny or Die, pitched him the project. "They said, 'Would you want to do this?' I listened to the song, and I looked at the concept, and it seemed kind of cool," he said.

Despite the Funny or Die pedigree, the clip's definitely low on the shtick (though there's something creepily hilarious about watching Don Draper lure a mute, furry puppet into his front seat).

It is, however, uber-cute -- if you weren't already getting that impression. And as per Hamm's own testimonial, his yeti co-star is the "cutest" puppet ever. "It's pretty adorable."

The song is off Herman Dune's upcoming album, Strange Moosic, out May 20.
