The producer for Beyonce's hit single 'Run the World (Girls)' says the song was meant to be a joke.
Producer Diplo says Beyonce Knowles' hit song 'Run the World (Girls)' was initially meant to be a ''joke''.
Beyonce Knowles' 'Run the World (Girls)' started out as a ''joke''.
The 2011 single - which reached number 29 in the US Billboard chart and 11 on the UK singles chart - features a sample from 'Pon De Floor', a track producer Diplo made with his group Major Lazer, and he admits he never expected it to end up as part of such a big hit.
He said: ''I still think a lot of people don't even realise where that song came from. ''That song never really had a push. It was a song we did, kind of like a funny kind of a joke song.''
Diplo admits working with Beyonce - who gave birth to her and husband Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy in January - was a surreal experience because he ''couldn't believe'' he was in the studio with the pop superstar.
He told BBC Newsbeat: ''We had to finish up a few records we were working with her on.
''That was super weird man. Like I remember we were in the studio working with her and I still couldn't believe it.''Jacked from Contact Music

Ummmm - then you scored, because that song was in fact a joke
And the joke was given to another joke to sing. So well planned.
it also ended as one.
She looks like a man in that pic.
The song was a joke alright and the fact that he thinks it was a hit, is a joke as well.
and guess what? ITS STILL A JOKE!
No need to confirm everyone knows that song is a joke. That was the worst song she's ever recorded.

Thanks, Captain Obvious...we already knew that lol
It ended as a joke...had to say it!
Stalling at 29 on the US charts does not a hit make.
her eyes look so evil in this pic
The song was a joke from start to finish.
yep

if so,then i guess all her performances all around the world singing this song was a joke to, huh!!! just like that award she recieved for artist of the millinium,now that by itself was a joke.
Hmmmmmmmmm.........I wonder if the reason we have
not seen Blue up close lately is because they are still looking for a baby (age appropriate) that they can buy that is really a pretty child. That could be the reason why Bey walks around holding and hiding the doll.
Ha! Looking for some poor person with a beautiful baby they can buy off. Most people, even including the poor would rather rear their own children with LOVE, in the bosom of their strong family structure, providing them with coping skills to get by in life no matter how hard or harsh.
Jayonce are looking for somebody with a beautiful child willing to give up that child to be raised in luxury. Luxury is not love. Bey and Jay are too cheap and devoid of common sense to get that whole thingy about family love.
Poor Blue to be banished with other family members while a new pretty bought baby gets to be the new public "Blue".
(((((HA...HA....HA...HA)))))).....Not really funny but sad that this chick's career is a joke!
I wish I had some of her career joke MONEY. I'd be laughing right with you haters.
i'd rather be a working stiff and have my self respect than be a lying cheating dirty ass puss poppin whore.
thank you so much.
