"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. This is the last Bee Gees single to feature Vince Melouney's guitar work, as he left the band in early December after this song was released as a single.
"I Started a Joke" was written by Robin mainly, with help from Barry and Maurice Gibb on the bridge. 
It was produced by the Bee Gees with Robert Stigwood. According to Robin Gibb, the melancholic melody of the song was inspired by the sounds on board an aeroplane.

Robin Gibb's son played "I Started a Joke" on his phone just after his father died on 20 May 2012. 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. I put the phone on his chest and that was the first time I broke down. I knew that song and its lyrics were perfect for that moment. That song will always have new meaning to me now."
