It’s April Fools’ Day, so we have our pick of songs with “fools” in the title or lyrics.

There’s the Beatles’ classic “The Fool on the Hill,” Aretha’s “Chain of Fools,” the Doobie Brothers’ “What A Fool Believes,” the Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and many many more.

But since April Fools’ Day is a day for jokes, we have settled on a Bee Gees’ standard for this week’s Sharp Notes Monday selection.

“I Started a Joke,” a track from the group’s 1968 album Idea, was released as a single and reached No. 6 on the U.S. Billboard chart.

As part of our “Sharp Notes, Sharp Thoughts” music and social media project, we share a song every Monday to start your week.
