"That's Not Me" is a song by the American rock band The Beach Boys, the third track from their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The song was composed and produced by Brian Wilson with lyrics written by Tony Asher. Asher has expressed dissatisfaction with the lyrics for the song, describing them as "labored", and that he had "missed the mark". In 1976, Brian stated, "I think That's Not Me reveals a lot about myself, just the idea that you're going to look at yourself and say, 'Hey, now look, that's not me, kind of square off with yourself and say, This is me, that's not me'."

Famous quotes containing the words that and/or not:
“Art, it seems to me, should simplify. That, indeed, is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole—so that all that one has suppressed and cut away is there to the reader’s consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“But while being a mother is admittedly a lifelong preoccupation, it cannot, should not, must not be a lifelong occupation. . . .”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
