Mistress Mabel

"Mistress Mabel" is a song by The Fratellis and the first single from their second album Here We Stand. The single was released on 26 May 2008. The song was first introduced by the band at their Queen Margaret Union show on 22 February 2008 as the first song on the setlist. The first ever radio play was on 3 April 2008 by Radio DJ Jim Gellatly on his X-posure show on XFM Scotland, the very DJ who was first to give The Fratellis radio play. Zane Lowe played the track to open his show on BBC Radio 1 on 7 April.

The radio edit was released on iTunes (US) on Tuesday 22 May 2008, without any of the b-sides available.

The b-sides include two songs previously released as demos, "Boy Done Good" and "Ella's in the Band," and the never before heard track "When All the Lights Go Out."

The single received mixed reviews from critics and fans and overall, marking a rather disappointing return for The Fratellis as a lead single. It entered the UK Singles Chart at #27 on downloads alone on the day before its physical release, therefore already marking the band's fifth UK Top 40 single. It peaked at #23 the following week before slipping down to #38 during its third week.
