Ah, the Bee Gees, always keeping us on our toes with their lyrical conundrums! "I Started a Joke" is a fascinating exploration of life's ironies and paradoxes. It tells the tale of a protagonist who inadvertently triggers a global cascade of emotions through his actions, only to realise that he is the butt of his own cosmic joke. The song delves into themes of self-deprecation and regret, painting a poignant picture of someone who has unintentionally caused chaos and then suffered the consequences. It's like dropping an ice cream cone on your brand new shoes - you can't help but laugh at the ridiculousness even as you rue your misfortune. So next time you think about playing a prank, remember this tune and spare yourself the punchline!
