Tom Waits: I Don't Wanna Grow Up

This song would go well on my “Hey Mope” playlist, which whips, with a rubber hose, the notion that sad songs need to be acoustic and must feature male falsetto. Except I think the ukulele is acoustic.

me: Have you ever heard this song before?

Listen to it all the way through. I'm going to go piss and get a salad. When I come back I'd like to know what you think.
Brendan: Never much cared for tom waits. Not my cup of rocks.
me: Okay I'm back. How would you introduce this song if you were introducing it for a music blog?
