About That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

"That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" is a song by British rock band The Smiths. It first appeared on their album Meat Is Murder, and was released as their eighth single. It was composed by guitarist Johnny Marr and singer/songwriter Morrissey. A unique single, it was the second-lowest charting Smiths single, reaching only #49. The repetition and sad tone conveyed are unusual for a Smiths single. This has raised suspicions that the song is about a journalist with whom Morrissey had a relationship. .
