電影「消失的情人節」片尾曲是一首輕鬆的英文老歌I Started A Joke

聽起來感覺很輕鬆詼諧，後來上網查了一下發現是Bee Gees的歌，歌詞意義有點憂鬱灰色

這首I Started A Joke是1968年Robin創作獨唱的，憂鬱悲哀的歌詞，帶點唱詩般風格，又些微歇斯底里的顫音唱腔，感覺很有特色，令人陶醉

Bee Gees（比吉斯）是來自英國的三人兄弟樂團，成員包括大哥巴里·吉布（Barry Gibb）、及雙胞胎羅賓·吉布（Robin Gibb）和莫里斯·吉布（Maurice Gibb），他們跨越多個音樂流派，把搖滾樂、迪斯可、節奏藍調融為一體，風靡了澳洲、英國、美國，甚至世界各地…
