"I Won't Grow Up" by The Fools

Boston band The Fools brought a punk attitude to their rock formula and made a small dent on the charts in the early 80s with "It's A Night For Beautiful Girls" (#67, 1980) and their cover of Roy Orbison's "Running Scared" (#50, 1981).

The Fools raised their profile in 1979 after releasing a parody recording of "Psycho Killer" by The Talking Heads called "Psycho Chicken."

The band's rebellious party boy style is best captured on the punk anthem "I Won't Grow Up." The track comes from their debut album, "Sold Out," which was supported by a tour with The Knack.
