Faith No More - I Started a Joke (Dialogue Version) (Official Music Video)

[@cc69ist]

I have seen multi million dollar budget Hollywood movies with less story and acting ability than this short video, brilliant.

[@XmanSully]

With young Bilbo there in the crowed. Anyways, these are all top british actors

[@TheBlueprintsOrlando]

Facts

[@distortomanipulo]

The singer in the video is David Hoyle, top tier performance artist and early youtube pioneer.

[@Chris.Davis.2]

This video is like something out of the World of David Lynch.

[@ciddeoliva]

Voz de Mike Patton e performance de David Hoyle. Espetacular!

[@ExpertCriticism]

2:40 - it's beautiful how subtle this part is. Probably the best 1 second of direction/action you will ever see in a music video.

[@danydaniel6756]

Hermosa Michelle no?? Esa expresión es magnifica.

[@danydaniel6756]

y que te parece el momento en el que david dice: "miré al cielo" y el director te muestra los ojos celestes??

[@redacted2275]

The director was able to encapsulate the everyday life of British kids and the daydreams of a working class doomed to be alive... the main actress gives me goosebumps, her reactions are so believable...

[@rockshowness9446]

Plus... she's hot 🔥 💋 👄 🥵

[@richarddiamond2844]

I just found this video and can’t stop watching it. I always loved the original from the Bee Gees but David Hoyle’s performance on this video and Mike Patton’s voice is beyond words. Michelle Butterly’s performance is equally stellar.

[@MrKredski]

KEEP WATCHING! I never stopped. It's a masterpiece.

[@JeanieNargi]

God, it moved me to tears, I felt I could have written these words. It was beautiful…❤️

[@shaneb.3982]

One of the most underrated voices ever.

[@retroshack2960]

Faith No More originally covered "I Started a Joke" as a b-side for their 1995 single "Digging the Grave". It also appeared on some versions of their fifth studio album King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime but following the band's dissolution in 1998 it was released as their final single with their greatest hits album Who Cares a Lot?. The music video was filmed on 8 September 1998, after Faith No More had disbanded five months earlier and featured none of the band members. (Some fans claim that Mike Patton is the singer just leaving the stage as the video is beginning.) 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. Derren Litten, the writer of Benidorm and a contributor to The Catherine Tate Show, is also seen in the video. The 2016 Rhino / Reprise B-side release of this track had the Bee Gee's original on side A.

[@markp.sheffer5642]

Retro Shack SORRY, check out the bee-gees from the 1970-80s, faith no more copied it!

[@greekb.9321]

Retro Shack just said in 2016 it had the Beegees ORIGINAL on side A.

[@HarpsichordDrone]

It's actually from the 60's. The Bee Gees had pretty much abandoned this style of baroque pop by the 70's.

[@jayadams2771]

Wow, I never saw or heard this. I agree, you can see as 'Micheal' leaves the stage and turns to look at the announcer, then the screen is dark. 0:18-0:19 that is his chin mouth profile. The nose is fake. Gotta be him. I've always been amazed at his range, but this voice is so unlike him. Long time fan and I really can barely hear it. It's like an American Mondo Cane! 'Muricane!

[@gurigran1799]

Do you know the name of the redhead actress? Can't find it. Thanks.

[@rodrigocostamagna3896]

Patton is amazing, FNM amaizing, the way they told the story is amazing, the british actors are amazing

[@rhomotor]

I always get the chills when he hits the chorus.

[@ThomasMüller-i8i]

Ich höre den song heute das erste mal und bin total überwältigt. Der song und die performance sind wundervoll, herzerwärmend, grossartig, einmalig. You made my day. Grüsse aus berlin, germany.😊😊😊😊😊🎉

[@ZarkowsWorld]

David Hoyle does a marvelous performance as the 'singer' here.

[@MsSez]

It’s so hard to convince myself that he isn’t the one singing. It’s brilliant.

Watch/listen to this when you are feeling down on yourself. You’ll cry your eyes out but then feel better afterwards! 😊

[@scottyflamingo1413]

I love this video so much more then the version where they cut the dialogue out. Really tells a great story with a great song. Love it!

[@lucianofigueiredo4877]

Vrdd 😢😢😢

[@joshuaburris6805]

Depends sometimes I want the song sometimes I want the drama

[@barryhardiman1135]

Yes. I've been watching that version for years and only found this today.

[@shutterartlaoschannel8154]

Is this the movie ?

[@herisubagiyo729]

That's brilliant both blue eyes wide open you look at my eyes yes what consequences do you give , i started a joke

[@maximilianohernandez8462]

1:38 the moment when people realize that they are facing someone extraordinary

[@steffi6889]

In fact, this is made brilliantly! I could watch and listen to that endlessly. And if it’s really Mike Patton‘s voice, then it had the very best lifetime moment in this recording 🤩👍🏼

[@arnelnaca702]

dare to say its much, much, better than the original (with respect to the beegees).mike patton really expressed it in his eyes, and the voice, such majesty.

[@SaintHierophant]

Of course it's Mike Patton. No one else could hit those notes.

[@nynaevejanssen5876]

​@@arnelnaca702Except that's not Mike Patton, it's David Hoyle.

[@CountOrlok22]

Bilbo Baggins and Faith No More! Ain't life grand?

[@cherrylips234]

CountOrlok22 Bilbo Baggins, John Watson and Faith No More. Couldn't ask for anything else.

[@BobLuas]

@@cherrylips234 Also , for anyone that watches Dr Who , the other guy is Rose Tylers dad. (actually pretty much all the cast are still working on TV/movies )

[@Floraflora2]

Somehow it reminds me a bit of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, especially the second half of it, like the "I'm Going Home" song by Tim Curry... creepy in a good sense. Goosebumps.

[@Niamhcotts]

I love this version

[@glenbenton2175]

One of the greatest songs and videos ever!

[@ddus4155]

The best version I heard so far

[@tobicomic_no2]

The video is great, the voice is great, the actors are great and when you swirl and mix everything up it becomes awesome.

[@ricardosampaio8376]

I started a joke Which started the whole world crying But I didn't see That the joke was on me, oh no I started to cry Which started the whole world laughing Oh, if I'd only seen That the joke was on me I looked at the skies Running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said 'Til I finally died Which started the whole world living Oh, if I'd only seen That the joke was on me I looked at the skies Running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said 'Til I finally died Which started the whole world living Oh, if I'd only seen, oh yeah That the joke was on me, oh no That the joke was on me Oh, no, no, no

[@alessandrodalfonso]

The transcription of the dialogues would be epic

[@presntnow]

Faith No More have many Great Songs! ❤ (And Videos for the Songs too)

[@ceeemm1901]

Absolute hilarious classic, 5 STARS!!!!! Done the HeeBee Jeebees proud! Martin and Shaun funny as....

[@DNV75]

I made it thru istening to FNM. While in the Marines I got introduced to Jamiroquai and instantly fell in love with them. It took me some for it to resonate that they had a sound familiar to FNM in some of their music. Virtual Insanity being the guilty party. I'm just now getting Evidence for the first time and at this point, I can't figure out who influenced who. Two of my most favorite bands coming together in one is a total dream come true.

[@satanail666]

Подбор актёров для клипа просто изумительный

[@serverdll]

better love story than twilight...

[@jerryjohnston3844]

I have just encountered this version of this song, it is utterly stunning! I have no doubt that it is going to take some introspection and careful consideration for me to even begin to understand what my very visceral reaction to this video, song, performance, etc. is all about. I really experienced a tornado of seemingly contradictory feelings and emotions from this work as a whole. Hard to explain, but if pressed to describe it, it was like a very comforting sadness, or a tranquil terror, anyhow, it seemed to jerk me around in many different directions. It feels so very odd, I can't classify it, but I am grateful to have experienced a feeling so novel and new to me. I would like to thank everyone involved in this, I enjoyed it very much. Oddly, the BeeGee's song and version never hit me this way, I liked it alright, but I never felt this power and emotion from their version.🤨

[@istartedajoke973]

Wow

[@nelsonvargas6151]

Ud. Lo dijo todo!

[@chrisbirch4150]

Interesting review. I think the experience is so visceral because the dialogue is 100% realistic. So when the scene at the table is juxtaposed next to the surreal visual of the singer it's like you are there in the bar with them. You feel the same blend of unease and awe that is depicted in the four characters at the table. I actually saw this once when it came out but I never caught the name of the artist. For about 25 years it popped up in my memory to the point where I genuinely thought it may have been a dream. Someone recently posted on my social media and it was like a whirlwind of nostalgia.

[@Gods_Real]

O stfu its a good song...blah blah blah. You wind bag.

[@mcafee1971]

[@HammerLex77]

“But I don’t love him”. “Look Chelle (short for Michelle), sometimes love has nothing to do with it. Just be happy you’ve got anyone at all.” “But I don’t want just anyone”. “Come on!” “Thank you, Michael from Ba….get off! Michael from Barnsley. Thank you, Michael. Michael there, with ‘Take Me to Funky Town’. I think you’re there already Michael, I do honestly. No, really. But next up on stage, ladies and gentleman we have for you, a very popular young man with a marvellous voice to boot. Please, put your hands and legs together for, Lee from Huddersfield singing Faith No More’s, I Started a Joke! Come on now, let’s have it, don’t fight it, come on now, here we are!” “Here Mart (short for Martin), want another drink?” “Yeah, cheers mate”. “Hey, what about us?” “What about you?” “Well a real gentlemen would ask the ladies first”. “Well I suppose I’m not a real gentleman then am I?” “Will you two shut up, he’s about to start singing!” “I’m not surprised mate with a voice like yours!” “Should have worn your glasses then, eh?” “Aye, (Northern British for ‘yeah’) you’re the joke!” “Awww, shame!” “He’s got a good voice though, hasn’t he?” “Here girls, who said I’m no gentlemen, eh? Awww, shit!” “Darren, look what you done now!” “Bloody hell!” “He’s brilliant!” “He’s a bloody poof!” (British slang for gay) “Darren, shut up will you!?” “Michelle, are you alright? Do you need a hankie?” (handkerchief) “Oh, I never did much like that frock (dress) anyway! It looks better with a stain down it.”. “You said yourself you didn’t like it!” “You’re only wearing it because your Mum bought it for you!” “You’re really getting on my nerves!” “Well, I’m sorry love, but I didn’t mean to”. “He’s really lovely”. “Yeah”. “Chelle - I love you”. “I said I love ya!” “AND I LOVE YOU TOO!”
