Tom Waits - I Don't Want To Grow Up

[Lionshed]

nobody should have to grow up it's not natural for the human race.

[TheLimo64]

@Lionshed Of course it is. It's just a shame that's the case.

[EllunaHellen]

how have I never heard this before? And I don't want to grow up! =P

[yuh66h]

I was just thinking about this song today at school because I realised that next year I'm going to be in year 12 and how much I still want to be a kid

[stachurek100]

Tom to wielki artysta !!

[1st1anarkissed]

I've learned, even if you don't grow up, it still gets here too soon.

[mickfoleyhand]

im a kid and i love this

[razorath92]

TOM WAITS IS A BAMF!

[gunslingerspartan]

wait, he found that costume on the back of his fire shovel!

[latrelus]

@gunslingerspartan lol. "It's like some primitive email."

[iClubMidgets]

[xEmoGiantx]

If Tom Waits is the devil I can't wait to go to hell.

[ballpeenbaby]

Turning 13 tommorow :/

[boomerramone]

Turning 20 tomorrow . :/

[ballpeenbaby]

Whats with the Sears commercial before the video? Fuck Sears.

[GDB8491]

Don't worry Paxaunu, if we don't want to grow up they f*ckin' can't make us. They will give up eventually. (also 63)

[LoyaltySucks]

Descendents did it better.

[DemonWarp65]

"When I turn on the 9 O'Clock news". Aint the goddamn truth!

[DemonWarp65]

@DemonWarp65 Oops, make that five o'clock lol

[JiggiJugana]

27 persons are too fuckin old

[w55561]

im just watching this bc Hetfield sayed he likes Tom Waits

[babzoo1978]

the devil scenes look like inspired a few scenes in a game called godhand lol

[babzoo1978]

this is art .... very original

[jeannotcamel]

There so much symbolism in this video, small guitar playing under a table and the likes

[bruntonsteve]

xxx

[jonathanomgitsme]

"That's good, now get your ass back in the wall..."

[Lamvesp]

What a total prick.

[SquishedButterfly]

i'd like to see a 9 year old doing a rendition of this while playing a homemade banjo.

[Bryterlayter91]

"Too weird to live, too rare to die. One of God's own prototypes".

[tich1978]

@Bryterlayter91 :D i love that movie :D

[brokenbong1]

@Bryterlayter91 isn't that Hunter S. Thompson?

[Bryterlayter91]

@brokenbong1 Yeah, it's from Fear and Loathing. It fits Tom like a glove :)

[xsnokex]

@brokenbong1 Oscar Zeta Acosta, actually. Hunter wrote that about him.

[the420rock]

is this a f**ing joke

[Paxaunu]

Yes, Tom is a beat, possible the last of his kind. Enjoy him.

[Paxaunu]

this is my theme song. I'm 63. i never want to grow up.

[Outoftheclique]

@Paxaunu too late!

[szczurekamila]

He has sooo sexy legs :*

[agataipiotrek]

@szczurekamila so true!

[Toracube]

Love this Cat

[StoryNClark]

24 people grew up.

[Nixonsmojo]

Beavis and Butthead were all over tom circling that poop on his bike yo.

[dissemblernels]

growing up is getting closer and closer for me and i don't want it

[Desnaughty]

Thank u for posting this! My life is better haha

[suelyparentesouza]

Ai... Meu SupeR HomeM. Muito cabeça!

Te amo

Su

[diewrecked]

First time I heard this was on Beavis & Butthead. I must have been about 10 years old or so. This song always takes me back to that time. Nostalgia, and I don't wanna get old. I'm driving off a mountain before my 50th birthday.

[huddlespun]

@diewrecked

Better go warm the car up, FIVE O will be here before you realize it. :o)

[pCriistopher]

The first time I heard this was on a local radio station, a live boot leg version and I was blown away. Some of the best lyrics ever & the live version is way better btw. Beside the point "Bone Machine" is his best album IMHO.

[magotiraca]

Grandissimo Tom, più geniali di te non ce saranno mai !

[heavyboxes]

Tom Waits, best human that ever lived.

[anhedonia47]

How do get my voice to sound like that?

[ifeeldirty]

@anhedonia47 smoke a lot, drink a lot or get born with one.

[tacozzrgood15]

Hey check it out Butt-Head, it's The Noid!

[wulf326]

Mr. Waits writes such great stories all dressed-up in wonderful songs.

[Kevindm215]

this is my new favorite song, thank you wally!

[bamogzec]

...I love Tom Waits, but this cover...The Ramones' version will forever be my favorite.

[BurglaryoftheSenses]

@bamogzec This is the original.

[DrLaslow]

he didnt miss a single chord on that little fucker

[sullymahopac]

"when I see my parents fight I don't want to grow up"

[ralphkamp93]

what is it with tom waits and small guitairs?

[snoogens5446]

check out Papa Baloo if your into waits and/or primus

[mike3127]

I heard this before the Ramones version. I prefer this one.

[yiyuwazza]

. It's like when i discovered that "the man who sold the world" was not Nirvana's but Bowie's. New old hero

[albatros777]

@yiyuwazza I remebered thinking "The Man Who Sold the World" was the only song by Nirvana I liked--before finding out it was done by Bowie.

[kowtpr187]

@albatros777 you should hear more songs then.



[yiyuwazza]

i thought it was a Ramones's song, new hero of mine

[TheAmelora]

I was 12 the first time I saw this video. I loved it instantly and played it constantly. Brings back such good memories.

[janlulde3e]

awesome voice

[leese72]

oh Tom you are the best.



[lovintonal]

to good

[tsoparGR]

why the fuck we turn into shits when we grow up? if only i could go back to those good and carefree times when i was 9 when i didn't give a shit about adult's ''real'' world....although i can't turn back time i m still trying to keep this profile against their ''serious'' world;) if we all had a 10% of a children's heart, our world would be much better...

[TheDeadlyDelilah]

@tsoparGR hmmm - sounds like you had a good childhood!

[roflitszack]

Without a doubt one of the greatest songs of all time.

[hentaimaid]

i like the shoes...

[ranger59]

@hentaimaid Tom is a big fan of shoes. He prob picked them out himself.

[hentaimaid]

@ranger59 one thing is good at is picking good songs.....he still walks better in heels than me

[yokohamafc1]

C  R A P!!!!

[mungogubbins]

I don't either Tom, let's hope we never do!

[PretoRoCkNRoll]

Q grande merdaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

cOitados dos ramones

aff

[thegrimner]

@PretoRoCkNRoll quem, aqueles que pegaram na musica de um artista com 40 40 anos de carreira e fizeram uma versão? coitados...

[monkeybash3000]

I saw this video on Beavis & Butt-head.

[MrCream1000]

tk idont anna grw up

[AverageTanner]

If you like country, Hayes Carll does an awesome cover of this song as well.

[Imfromrs]

now this is fucked

[ededcujo]

To Colin .......Stay young brother!

[59simonh]

Another great character in that guys arsenal....boy, that yanks clever..and fun!!!! keep Go'in!......

[poison6028]

You can convert this or any youtube video to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

[MrSambanine]

Who knew Tom has such nice gams? LMAO

[undecided626]

does anyone know where I could get a similar costume???

[No1NellieFan]

this is a cover of a ramones song.. you guys are dumb...

[13bathory1986]

@No1NellieFan prick! it´s tom waits song (^-.-^).

[RYANWASON234]

@No1NellieFan Fuck up ya stupid cunt, it's tom waits's song and the ramones covered it. If you listened to the song you'd know that, If you can't listen to music correctly then if you had been arsed to search for a bit you'd have seen it's tom's song... prick

[23cornchip]

@No1NellieFan tom did this before the ramones... he's older too

[tcphll]

@No1NellieFan Nope, the Ramones version is a cover of a Tom Waits song. . .

[nikostevens1]

@tcphll no it's not

[tcphll]

@nikostevens1 Yeah, it is. Tom Waits wrote and recorded this song 3 years before The Ramones. It's not even debatable. Bone Machine was released in 1992. The Ramones cover was released in 1995. AND they credit Waits as the songwriter. It was a great cover, but it's still a cover.

[Larsmop]

The ideology of my life...I Don!

[30Ciaran]

First Tom Waits song I ever heard, when I was 15, been hooked ever since, the man's a genius

[TheZa1994]

Unfortinate for me but this song really suits me i dont want to grow up either it's to scarey.

[eyalda]

this was the theme song at midnight to my 18th birthday party.

[tjomc82]

@eyalda heh.. old fuck

[wana053]

wow, y'all can use the f-word! that's SO cool......just enjoy good music.

[borisoncameron]

i fuckin love tom waits

[marjorielard]

@borisoncameron If you like this song you'll LOVE my sister's cover. YouTube search for: Hope Waits sings Get Behind the Mule (Tom Waits Cover)

[5150zombie]

yep

[Tantrumzero]

Fucking communist song.

[borisoncameron]

@Tantrumzero fucking scum

[Tantrumzero]

@borisoncameron go fuck yourself

[greeenparty]

wow! i thought this was a Ramones song originally! Both are so goooooood!

[danielcheechoo]

the truth.

[spooneye]

The first time I heard this song, I thought "Wow, the Ramones would do an amazing cover of this." Then I checked YouTube and found out I was righter than I knew. Did Waits write this with them in mind, a la Springsteen's "Hungry Heart" and Sparks' "Nothing To Do"?

[glenn620430]

damn, i,m 47 and still don,t want to.

[kowtpr187]

@glenn620430 I am sure Tom still doesn't want to!

[christopherwatkins1]

@glenn620430 COOL IM 34 STILL TRYING TO FIND WHERE MY 20S WENT STAY YOUNG AT HEART FOREVER

[MrUnidyne]

@glenn620430 Right now, I'm peeking around the corner of the age of 50, and the lyrics of this song ring truer for me than they ever did.

[thegtank]

it's actually a Ramones song, but Tom makes it his own!

[markezov]

@thegtank It's actually a Tom Waits, song, but the Ramones make it their own. ;)

[thegtank]

You're right actually! I always like to learn, so thanks for that :D

[RossM3838]

@thegtank this was 1992. The ramones recorded it in 1996. Look at the Ramones promotional video. At 35 seconds, in the background, is a sketch of Tom Waits. It does sound like a song the Ramones would have penned themselves, but it is indeed a Tom Waits composition.

[eddiemoon]

fucken A Tom.

[BlueDyna2005]

"How the hell did I get here so soon?" I think of that lyric almost everyday. Seriously, for the last five years, I've been asking where the last ten years went.

[Kamikazepit]

so true....

[breacat]

You'd think Satan could afford a mountain bike.

[Birdgirl01]

You'd think.....But maybe it's more evil this way? :)

[Davrosjay]

@breacat Thats hilarious

[tobesograteful]

What a genius!

[jotube333]

Tom Waits is a national treasure.

[satko161]

When I see the price that you pay

I dont wanna grow up

[SuperstarNeilC]

FOOKIN' ACE

[fatherprime]

wow thanks youtube for the suggestion.

[claudiofimiani]

Básicamente, yo tampoco.. No al menos de la forma tradicional

[Heshsk8138]

I love this song and the Ramones cover! Both are Amazing in their own right!

[xaviier078]

Ramones' cover or original song?

[magr96]

Original

[xaviier078]

I don't think so...

[magr96]

the ramones song came out in 95, Tom waits did his in 92

[xaviier078]

Oh okay,you're right.

Thanks!! :)

[Hanes20ss]

I like voice tom waits (hanes czech republic)

[wonderkekiable]

Crazy video=D

[mintosphere712]

the best song ever made

[Hirngreifer]

very nice Vid, very nice song-... simply a very cool person, Mr. Waits.

[drumjoey]

I love this so much.

[Brettfowler]

Just the best of the best of the best.

[Muenden]

Too special for my taste.

[77private29]

Everyone feel like having arguments, but listen to the song. It looks childish but it's a little jewel: time's pass by and we feel so helpless. And the arrangement's original as usual! Bravo Tom.

[matusquiera]

A música original é esta! Ramones é que tiraram um cover do Tom Waits.

[MaghoxFr]

Have you seen Tom reading Bukowski? He's probably the only one that can read him right!!!

[VEGA747]

Where can You See This?

[shootpicasso31]

Tom Waits really scares me man!!

[PredictorsRage]

indeed !!

[SourApplez1211]

Small ukelele.

[solyombela]

one of the best things ive ever seen.directed by jarmusch as i know.waits and j. together.too much beauty for me!and there's a great ramones version too!

[1566spaulding]

good ramones cover

[RhettWright]

the ramones did a good cover of Waits' song

[cdestroy]

No.

[30Ciaran]

@RhettWright they sucked, they destroyed it, however I'd love to hear a Tom Waits version of I wanna be sedated!

[USBMFBMLLNBMOBM]

wtf......

[eltoroo69]

Dude this guys music is freaky and awsome

[QuatermassMan]

Kind of a sad song, when you think about it. I LOVE Tom Waits. He is the Thomas Pynchon of Music. (Don't know who Pynchon is? Look him up.)

[kirrosis]

i saw it once when i was young on mtv got high and vorgot what song it was. now years later i see it again and i still love it. tom is the best

[metallara894]

auauhauhauha ma è un pazzo! XD

[Elesaar27]

absolutely genius

[ronaldocavalcantesk8]

motherfuckin shit in fodase ass fucking! filha da puta de merda pu no rabo do caralho

[richardstanz]

Look on Wikipedia. Looks like both of them covered a band named the Decendants. Would love to hear the original

[kiba456123]

DescendEnts. And they have a different version. Its just the same name.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

???? at least you are not alone in your stupidity!

tom and his wife wrote this song, the ramones covered it, the descendants wrote a song with the same title. I am surprised you are not saying this is the song from peter pan.

[GawdMachine]

Waits IS God!

[iKristene]

I don't want to move neither... :(

[GameBoyz2]

tomwaits最高！

[mundanejane550]

Weirdest video I've ever seen. But the song kind of grows on you!

[beelzabubba]

It grew on the Ramones also, they did a cover of it.

[mundanejane550]

True, I guess
