Les Contes du singe fou (roughly translated, Tales of the Mad Monkey) is a progressive rock album by Clearlight, released in 1977 on Isadora Records in France.

Returning again to France, Clearlight turned to conceptual space rock with science fiction lyrics.

Les Contes du singe fou is the only Clearlight album in which vocals and lyrics play a significant role.

The picture, which continues onto the back cover, shows a character on the front with a monkey's head on a human body, chest and one hand visible but otherwise wearing a fantastic multi-coloured suit with cape.

Finally, the crescent moon on the back is sprouting a huge weed-like plant with berries, undoubtedly a reference to "Moonweed", Tim Blake's nickname.
