"I'm Bugged at My Ol' Man" is a song written by Brian Wilson for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1965 album Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!). However, when Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!) was reissued in the early 1970s as California Girls, the track was cut from the running order.
"I'm Bugged at My Ol' Man" was inspired by Brian Wilson's tumultuous relationship with his father, Murry, who was well known for his abusive treatment of his children.[2][3] In the song, the singer's father uses extreme punishments to reprimand minor incidents, resulting in the singer being locked in his room, his windows being boarded up, his surfboard and radio being taken away, his hair cut off, and a meager meal of bread crumbs and water being the only thing for him to eat.[1]
