首《I Started A Joke》是比吉斯合唱 ( The Bee Gees )於1968年所推出的曲,得美告市示牌排行榜第6名。是由三兄弟共同作完成,但主要是由胞胎之一的Robin Gibb所和任主唱。
首歌所唱的是,某人做了或是了一些非常糟糕自以有趣的事或,因而受到了人的鄙疏,他才其笑的是他自己。然後,他得只有他始哭,旁人才始笑;也只有自己死掉,世界才能重生。Robin Gibb在某次上台表演之前,及此曲被流的其中一是有於「魔鬼」,故也有人首歌是由「魔鬼」的而唱。
2012年5月20日,Robin Gibb因癌症引的衰竭病逝於院,他的子Robin-John Gibb即以手播放了首《I Started A Joke》。Robin-John Gibb告英太:
『父往生後,我先病房,等院移走了那些器之後我再去。我拿起了我的手,在YouTube上找到了首《I Started A Joke》始播放,然後手放在父的胸前,我首度的感到崩,我知道首歌和它的歌在那刻得十分完美。在起,首歌永我有一些新的意。』

有人,Robin Gibb以他特的抖音色,那白的望悔恨得入木三分,算是他歌唱生涯的最佳表之作。就大家一起欣吧!
I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
But I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.
我了玩笑,惹得全世界始哭泣
但我有,那玩笑是在我身上
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.
我始哭泣,使得全世界哄堂大笑
如果我早那玩笑是在我身上就好了
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.
我望著天空,舞著臂遮住眼睛
因自己的,我跌下床摔了
Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.
直到我死去,全世界才像活了
如果我早那玩笑是在我身上就好了
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.
我望著天空,舞著臂遮住眼睛
因自己的,我跌下床摔了
Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.
Oh no that the joke was on me
直到我死去,全世界才像活了
如果我早那玩笑是在我身上就好了
噢,不!那玩笑是在我身上
