The Importance Of Being Idle by Oasis Cover

This acoustic cover The Importance of Being Idle by Oasis cover by Britpop Reunion front man Andy Starkey captures the song’s original blend of British music hall charm and indie-rock swagger, but strips it back to its rawest, most soulful form. If you’re a fan of Noel Gallagher’s legendary songwriting, this performance offers a fresh perspective on a modern classic. Andy found this Squier acoustic guitar propped up by a bin in the city he lives in with a snapped neck. Always wanting to challenge himself he decided to see if he could fix it by glueing it back together and restringing it and recording the quick video you see below. It might not look pretty but it works and sounds great. He then gave the guitar to his nephew who he teaches guitar to.

The Importance Of Being Idle by Oasis Cover – The Soul of a Britpop Classic, Unplugged

Originally released in 2005 as part of the Don’t Believe the Truth album, “The Importance of Being Idle” quickly became a fan favourite, known for its jaunty rhythm and clever lyrics about laziness and existential dread. While the original recording is steeped in a 1960s-inspired, Kinks / Beatles /The La’s production, this acoustic version brings the core elements of the song to the forefront.

By stripping away the drums and electric layers, the performance highlights the intricate melody and the poignant storytelling that makes the song so enduring. The acoustic guitar provides a percussive, driving foundation that maintains the song’s signature “oom-pah” rhythm, while the vocal delivery brings out the hidden vulnerability in lyrics like, “I sold my soul for the second time, cuz the man don’t pay me”

What Makes This Version Special?

Intimate Arrangement: The simplicity of the acoustic guitar allows the melody to breathe, making it feel less like a chart-topping hit and more like a late-night campfire confession.

Melodic Precision: Without the wall of sound found in the original, you can truly appreciate the craftsmanship of the chord progression and the clever descending bass lines.

Authentic Vibe: This cover honors the spirit of Noel Gallagher’s own solo acoustic performances, capturing that specific “Manchester” mood that Oasis fans know and love.

A New Way to Experience Oasis

Whether you grew up during the height of Britpop or you’ve just discovered the Gallagher brothers’ discography, this rendition is a testament to the strength of the song. A great song is one that can be played with just a voice and six strings and still command the room—and this performance proves that “The Importance of Being Idle” is exactly that.

It’s the perfect track for a rainy afternoon, a quiet moment of reflection, or simply as a reminder of why Oasis remains one of the most influential bands in rock history.

Band leader Andy has even gone one further and created this HOW TO PLAY video for you to follow along to.

The festival was incredibly well advertised throughout the Claygate and surrounding areas. As we drove to the festival location we were flabbergasted to see so many huge posters advertising our festival appearance there. It’s fantastic when a festival puts this much effort in to promote a live event. This is why the event sold out in record time. We performed on a large raised & covered stage set up on Claygate Recreation Ground with a 10k watt PA rig. Those are some nice big banners don’t you think?

Laid James Cover Version Video Britpop Tribute Band

Britpop musician Andy Starkey recorded and shot this Laid James Cover Version video for his 90’s tribute band Britpop Reunion. To hire a live Britpop cover band then book the UK’s only professional band ‘Britpop Reunion’. Contact Andy to also hire a professional nineties cover band for a party or festival. Enjoy our James Laid cover song below and ask yourself if any other Brit pop tribute band have bothered (Or could even begin to know how) to produce anything of this magnitude. (The answer’s “No” by the way).

Laid James Cover Version Video Britpop Tribute Band
Laid James Cover Version Video Britpop Tribute Band

Laid James Cover Version Video

With this James Laid song Andy worked on the idea of the band trying to keep the audio as close to the original recording as possible. Therefore Britpop Reunion faithfully replicated every guitar lick, bass note, exact drum pattern and keyboard part. Andy then also went on to direct and star in this self produced music video for James Laid cover version. It was filmed on the abandoned train track at Lichfield Staffordshire on the South Staffordshire Line. Is the video below not loading? Then why not view it on our 90’s YouTube channel. Imagine the effort this kind of audio and video takes to faithfully reproduce. It took many, many weeks to record, mix, film and edit.

James tribute band?

Britpop Reunion also perform a number of songs by James the band. So perhaps you could even call us a James Tribute Band of sorts. We also perform Sit Down (released numerous times by the band) and from time to time occasionally perform She’s A Star from Whiplash released 1997.

Laid was released November 1993 from the album of the same name ‘Laid’ peaking at number 25 in the UK charts. But it gained the band huge success in the USA on college radio also being featured towards the end of the nineties in the film ‘American Pie’. Can you believe that there are three official videos by the band for this song? Laid Album (Produced by Brian Eno) also features the singles Sometimes and Say Something / Jam J. The album sounds as Fresh As A Daisy today as when it was released in the 1990’s. The song Laid by James is a very easy to master featuring only three different chords played as:

Chords for Laid by James

C – Csus4 – G – F – G

Lyrics for Laid by James.

Verse 1
This bed is on fire with passionate love,
The neighbours complain about the noises above,
But she only comes when she’s on top.

Verse 2
My therapist said not to see you no more,
She said you’re like a disease without any cure,
She said I’m so obsessed that I’m becoming a bore, oh no,
Ah, you think you’re so pretty.

Chorus
E-e-ee

Bridge
Caught your hand inside the till, Slammed your fingers in the door,
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers,
Dressed me up in women’s clothes, Messed around with gender roles,
Line my eyes and call me pretty.

Chorus
E-e-ee

Verse 3
Moved out of the house so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You’re driving me crazy, When are you coming home?

Laid, Laid

Chorus
E-e-ee


Laid James Cover Song – List of James musicians who recorded Laid were:

  • Tim Booth – Lead Vocals
  • Saul Davies – Violin & Guitar
  • Larry Gott – Guitar
  • Mark Hunter- Keyboards
  • Jim Glennie – Bass Guitar
  • David Baynton-Power – drums
  • James Mike – Drums

Who sang Laid?

Laid was sang by Tim Booth by the band James.

Who wrote Laid?

Laid was written by Tim Booth, Larry Gott and also Jim Glennie for the Manchester band James. As with a number of James albums it was produced by Brian Eno.  Did you know there is also a “Clean radio edit” of Laid by James too? The lyrics “She only comes when she’s on top” are changed to “She only SINGS when she’s on top”. 

What is Laid about?

The song Laid by James tells the story of a couple who annoy the neighbours with their loud love making. Tim Booth sings about the domestic violence between the two and their hatred of each. But (As with most relationships) it turns out the couple can’t actually live with, or without each other. Maybe this was set in mid 90’s Moss Side, Manchester? If not there then where do you think possibly?

James also continue to tour live in 2022 and 2023 for their 16th studio album “All the Colours of You”.

Subtitles for Laid.

Some lovely folks have translated Laid into various different languages for us including Portuguese, German, Mexican Spanish and English of course. So hopefully you’ll be able to sing along in your preferred language too. If you’d like to add a language to our cover song then please contact Andy and he’ll add them onto the video.
