Aha Shake Heartbreak is the second studio album by American rock band Kings of Leon. It was first released in Europe on November 1, 2004, then in the United States on February 22, 2005, with alternate cover artwork. It is the only album by Kings of Leon to have a Parental Advisory label, because of profanity in "Taper Jean Girl," "Rememo," "Soft" and "Four Kicks." The U.S. album cover is reminiscent of Queen's A Night at the Opera.
"The Bucket", "Four Kicks" and "King of the Rodeo" were released as singles in the UK.
The track "Pistol of Fire" was covered by British musician, DJ and producer Mark Ronson featuring vocals by singer D. Smith, which was first released as the B-side to his cover of the Kaiser Chiefs' "Oh My God" featuring Lily Allen, from his 2007 studio album of cover versions, Version, with Ronson and Smith's version later appearing as one of three bonus tracks on the digital deluxe edition of Version. Ronson later remixed the Kings of Leon's original version as the B-side to their 2009 single "Revelry".
