This track was originally the Kentucky five-piece's second single from their self-titled debut album peaking at #51 in the UK. It was re-released in March 2010.
The song is a tongue-in cheek riposte to those in the music industry that doubted the band in their early days.

Elmer H from Westville, OkA few years ago I got their CD "Cage The Elephant" and love the whole album. This song has such an "in ya face" attitude about it that I love. And it sent a message to those in the music industry who had a fickle unsupportive air toward the band. We saw Cage The Elephant perform in Tulsa, OK. a few months ago. Top notch band! The rock stations in my area are playing more Elephant songs now. And I hear that their next album is to be released soon. Go Elephant Go.
Dusty from St. Louis, MoI love this song.
