    Beach Boys original of "Hang on to Your Ego" with alternate lyrics.
    Their version is beautiful while Frank's version is like being challenged to a fight to stop you being aggressive.
    (Frank Black's "Headache" video is very much like your animation.)

    When there's love present, it's easier to deal with life.

  16. THE BEACH BOYS
    Pet Sounds
    1966 Canada MONO pressing

    A perfect Saturday afternoon lunchtime spin.

    I have nothing to say about Pet Sounds that hasn’t already been said a billion times by everybody over the years.

    It’s a living, breathing, beautiful piece of art.
    Teenage symphonies to God indeed, Brian.
