"New Ideas" is the debut single by Scottish new wave/indie rock act The Dykeenies. It was first released as a Double A-side with "Will It Happen Tonight?" on 17 July 2006. The band also recorded a video for the track. The song was released on King Tut's Recordings, a minor label created through Glaswegian venue King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in order to expose small unknown artists to more major record labels. The concept worked, and following the release of the single, the band were signed to Lavolta Records.
