Tim Halperin's new song: 'I Don't Wanna Grow Up'

Posted 2:04pm on Friday, Aug. 24, 2012

When I saw that Tim Halperin's latest video had the title I Don't Wanna Grow Up, I thought maybe he was covering Tom Waits, or at least The Ramones. Which means one thing: I'm old.

Halperin, who as we've reiterated several times is a TCU grad and former American Idol finalist, has done his own original I Don't Wanna Grow Up here, and it's peppered with '90s pop-culture references as Halperin longs for a time before Justin Bieber and reality shows (we can't help but note that American Idol didn't exist in the '90s). It's one of Halperin's funniest videos, but there's a wistfulness behind the humor. Check it out -- and stick around after the end credits:
