The Importance of Being Idle is a 2005 single by Oasis from their sixth studio album “Don’t Believe the Truth.” The music video, directed by Dawn Shadforth, features a surreal and vintage aesthetic, starring actor Rhys Ifans as a funeral director performing a choreographed dance. This video complements the song’s themes of apathy and nonchalance, making it a standout visual piece in the band’s catalog. The single debuted at number one on the UK charts, marking the band’s last number one single.
