I Know There's an Answer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"I Know There's an Answer" is a song by the American pop band The Beach Boys, taken from their classic 1966 album Pet Sounds. It is the ninth track on the album. The song was composed and produced by Brian Wilson with the lyrics by Terry Sachen and Mike Love. The lead vocal was sung by Mike Love and Alan Jardine with Brian Wilson singing lead on the choruses.

The song was originally named "Hang on to Your Ego," but when the lyric of the chorus was changed after concerns that the LSD-related connotations of the phrase "Hang on to Your Ego" would be too controversial, the title of the song was also renamed. Terry Sachen, who is given credit for co-writing the lyrics to the song, was at the time, in 1966, the Beach Boys' road manager. The subject of the revised song is the self-centeredness of people and how the singer tells them "the way that they live could be better." This song features interesting use of a bass harmonica and a banjo. The song has a frequency during the chorus that is very hard to hear that makes animals go crazy [citation needed]).
