Luciani" is a song by British post-punk band the Fall, written by Mark E. Smith with his then-wife Brix Smith and longstanding band member Steve Hanley.

Luciani: The Life and Codex of John Paul I, concerning conspiracy theories about the 1978 death of the Pope (born Albino Luciani), which was performed for two weeks in London and starred Leigh Bowery.

[1] It was described by Ned Raggett at Allmusic as "initially strange in its bright warmth, but [it] turns out to be a perfect little pop winner while not compromising what was core about the group....

It might have seemed a long way from the Fall's beginnings, but it was still Smith's show all the way, even with Brix adding some sparkling backing vocals at the end.

Luciani" was the second Fall record (and their first original song) to make the top 75 of the UK singles chart, following their version of The Other Half's "Mr. Pharmacist" earlier in 1986.
