The Bee Gees - I Started A Joke

OK...yeah....The Bee Gees. I'll admit that I've never heard the Bee Gee's version of this song. I'm more familiar with the Wallflowers' version of it. I was watching Zoolander the other day, and at the beginning, right after he loses the award to Hansel (Hansel...so hot right now...Hansel), he's sitting in a puddle outside on the street and they start playing this fantastic Wallflowers song. Well...a couple googles (eugoogoly?) later, I now know that it's *gasp* originally done by the Bee Gees.

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
But I didn’t see that the joke was on me.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.

’til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was one me."

  • remember that CD i made you once.... the one with the same song on it 19 times? (as per our agreement earlier today, i won't mention the exact song...)

    anyway, that day, the joke was on you.
    and it started the whole world (me and lindsay) laughing.
