"I Started a Joke" is a song by the Bee Gees from their 1968 album Idea, which was released as a single in December of that year.

It was not released as a single in the United Kingdom, where buyers who could not afford the album had to content themselves with a Polydor version by Heath Hampstead.

We accosted the pilot, forced him to land in the nearest village and there, in a small pub, we finished the lyrics [with Barry].

It was filmed in Brussels as part of the Idea TV Special and features floating question marks on the song while Robin sings.

Robin-John Gibb told The Sun: When he passed away we went out, they took the equipment away and we came back in, I picked up my phone and found "I Started a Joke" on YouTube and played it.

It was directed by Vito Rocco, filmed by Nick Sawyer with make-up by Julie Nightingale and Dani Richardson with Gabi Norland as the clapper loader.

British actors Martin Freeman and Shaun Dingwall both feature in the promo, along with performance artist David Hoyle as the karaoke singer, and also stars Michelle Butterly of the ITV series, Benidorm.

"I Started a Joke" was parodied by a Radio Free Vestibule sketch in which a voiced-over commentary takes the lyrics completely literally, appeared on the film Zoolander as covered by The Wallflowers.
