Estive indecisa sobre qual dos vídeos publicaria. Mas tanto faz. Deixo aqui os links. Vale a pena ouvi-los a todos.

Mike Patton em três interpretações do I started a joke dos BeeGeesinhos.
Digamos que, para resumir, a música corre na alma e no corpo do homem.



I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh but I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no

And I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
From things that I've said

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
From things that I've said

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me,
That the joke was on me, me

«Michael Allan Patton (born January 27, 1968) is an American singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist and video game voice actor (...) Patton has earned critical praise for his diverse vocals, which touch on crooning, falsetto, death growls, rapping, chanting, mouth music, beatboxing and scatting, among other techniques; critic Greg Prato writes, "Patton could very well be one of the most versatile and talented singers in rock music."
He often produces side projects in collaboration with other musicians (...) He co-founded Ipecac Recordings with Greg Werckman in 1999, and has run the label since. (...) Recently, Patton has worked with Björk and the beat boxer Rahzel. He is often featured on new releases, and is regarded as extremely hard working. (...) Patton is highly regarded in alternative musical circles, and seen as something of an idol in the eyes of modern alternative youth for his air of mystique, his constantly-changing musical sensibilities, his impressive vocal range, and his experimental nature.
(...) When interviewed about his lyrical content with Faith No More, Patton responded, "I think that too many people think too much about my lyrics. I am more a person who works with the sound of a word than with its meaning. Often I just choose the words because of the rhythm not because of the meaning".»
