'''''I'm Interested In Apathy''''' is the name of a single by [[TISM]]. It was released off their debut album ''[[Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance]]'' ([[1988]]). The title is an [[oxymoron]] as [[apathy]] is literally a "lack of interest".
The song reached the National Top 40 in Australia<ref name="tismhistory">Official TISM History [http://serious.sbn.bz/base/view/document/history1989 1989] </ref>.
==Song==
Among the things the main claims to know or be able to do are: drilling for [[oil]] in the [[Bass Strait]], being able to prove [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]]'s [[E=mc²|theory]] wrong, predicting mankind's fate and knowing what really happened in regards to [[Death of Marilyn Monroe|Marilyn Munroe's death]].
==Video==
[[Image:SatNitePalsy|thumb|A man is turned away from a [[TISM]] concert in the video clip.]]
A video was made by Peter Bain-Hog which featured a handsome man spending his day getting ready to go out dancing. Eventually he finds himself outside of a TISM concert and denied entry, at the end of the video, he is so dejected by the experience that he commits suicide by hanging himself in a nearby alley.
The video was intended to parody other similar video clips of the time which showed good looking people dressing up, going out and enjoying themselves, however the final scene was cut from many broadcasts "in a superb act of bowdlerization, thus rendering the clip exactly the same as every other slickly produced clip of groovy models having a good time.<ref name="tismhistory"/>"
==Trivia==
When the song was released, TISM were invited to perform the song on popular Australian variety show [[Hey Hey It's Saturday]]. As the song began, the seven members performing the song were joined by seven more and before the song ended, a further fourteen, for a total of 28 so-called band members<ref name="tismhistory"/>.
