"Idlewild Blues", also known as "Idlewild Blue (Don't chu Worry 'Bout Me)," is the third single off OutKast's album Idlewild, and the first off the album that is sung by Andre 3000. Andre also plays the guitar for the song, using the standard 12-bar blues. The song tells the story of a character wishing to gain his independence by leaving the familiarity of his family, friends and town.
The video shows Andre playing in an old house during a thunder storm, with people dancing around him. The building slowly fills with rain water, and by the end of the video, everything in the house is underwater. Because of the proximity in which the video was filmed, many interpret the video to be a visual allusion to the New Orleans flooding following Hurricane Katrina.
