Tom Waits - I Don't Wanna Grow Up
My favourite Tom Waits era was his Island years which began with Swordfishtrombones in 1983. In 1992, his Island years gave us "I Don't Wanna Grow Up", a song you likely know best as a Ramones tune.
Like most of Waits' best songs, the cover gained more prominence than the original. I'll take the crunchy, gruff and rough original, thank you very much.

Good selection, Mike.
Then again Tom has such a vast library of good songs it's hard to pick a bad one.
The Bette Midler one. That's a bad one.
