"I Don't Think It's Funny" is a song by the Bee Gees, released on the group's debut LP The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs. It was written by Barry Gibb, and lead vocals by Robin Gibb.
"I Don't Think It's Funny" is notable for being the first song written by Barry on which he did not sing lead (but he sang harmony), and Robin's first chance to sing lead on the whole song.[1] On the song's chorus, Barry and Robin sing harmony, the lines were:[2]
| “ | I don't think it's funny, honey/My days are not so sunny/Why don't you make up your mind/Let me put my arms around you/Make rainbows all around you/But I don't know if you are mine | ” |
The word honey was appeared on the song in seven times, and the line But I don't know if you are mine was repeatedly in five times.[2] The song was recorded around October 1965 during the same time as "I Was a Lover, A Leader of Men", "And the Children Laughing", "How Love Was True" and "To Be or Not to Be".[3]
