This song originally appeared on the limited edition of Hot Fuss and on the album's Australian and British releases. It was then re-recorded for Sawdust with the backing vocals overdubbed from the original 2004 version.
This song ruffled a few feathers amongst music hipsters but frontman Brandon Flowers told Q magazine March 2009 that they missed its irony. He explained: "The song is very misunderstood, especially in America. I hear people think we're trying to be indie… Not a moment in my life has been spent trying to be indie. It's embarrassing when you think about it that way. I feel I need to put a memo out: Look at the lyrics! It's ironic!"
Flowers told Rolling Stone in 2009 that this was his least-favorite Killers songs. Said Flowers, "When I hear 'Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll,' I want to crawl under a rock."
