"'A Heady Tale'" is the third single by Scottish rock band, The Fratellis from their second album, 'Here We Stand'. It was released on 22 December 2008.[http://www.thefratellis.com/news/here-we-stand-deluxe-edition/? Here We Stand: Deluxe Edition Information] This song is 1 of the 4 tracks on 'Here We Stand' to have a heavy use of piano (the other 3 being "Mistress Mabel", "Milk And Money" & "Moriaty's Last Stand"). The B-sides "Mon Yous, Mon us but no' Them" and "When All the Lights Go Out" were also piano intensive. Jon Fratelli has said that the B-Side "Lonesome Anti Christmas Blues" is the "most depressing Christmas song written".[http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/2008/11/21/new-song-is-most-miserable-christmas-track-ever-say-the-fratellis-86908-20912373/ New Song is Most Miserable Christmas Track Ever Say The Fratellis]
