I’m officially bringing back the 90’s. Reblog if ya wit’ me…’nuff said.

Tim Halperin - I Don’t Wanna Grow Up (NEW SONG, OLD TOYS)


Lyrics:

Just like He-man and G.I. Joe, 
where did my childhood go? 


So teach me how to douggie cuz I’m so behind, 

I still do the macarena and the cha-cha slide 

I’m getting sick and tired of these reality shows, 

Joey, Rachel, Phoebe, Monica and Ross, where’d you go? 

and I want to play skip-it while my furby talks back, 

I dare Apple to come up with an app for that 

Rap today all sounds the same, I can’t even listen twice

Life was better livin in a gangsters paradise

So put your hands up if you’re in your twenties, still just a kid with a little more money  
I’m all mixed up, what can I say?

Everything changed, but the boy bands stayed

CHORUS
So someone tell me when did I grow up? When did I grow up? I didn’t wanna grow up

No, no, no

I don’t ever wanna grow up, don’t ever wanna grow up, I didn’t wanna grow up

Yes there was a time before wikipedia  

You couldn’t book a flight on priceline or expedia

There were lots of lonely girls cuz Bieber wasn’t around,

But Nirvana was on and no one could turn my radio down

Well Harry met Sally and they watched the X Files

And now the only Harry is the hairy Harry Styles

Facebook profiles and GPS miles

And I try to keep up, but it gets real tough when I’m tweeting all the while

so put your hands up if you’re in your twenties, still just a kid with a little more money  
I’m all mixed up, what can I say?

Everything changed, but the boy bands stayed

CHORUS

I try to be real but all I can feel is time speeding up
and I don’t know why I turned 25 and all my thoughts sucked
Holding my breath I can expect
 life to get tough
All that I know it’s harder to show, I’m not growing up

FINAL CHORUS
so I am never gonna grow up, I’m never gonna grow up, I’m never gonna grow up

Acoustic Cover of ‘One Thing’ by One Direction


You all seemed to dig Hayley and my acoustic cover of ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ by One Direction (Watch it Here), so I thought I’d do an acoustic cover of One Direction’s new single ‘One Thing’!

Do you like it?! If so, a reblog would make me SUPER HAPPY! :)


Thanks so much for your support!! Let me know what else you wanna hear me cover.

One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful Duet Cover by Tim Halperin and Hayley Orrantia (of Lakoda Rayne)

X Factor Meets American Idol!

Hayley and I met through a few mutual friends, and it turned out that our voices blended really well and we hit it off musically.  So we decided to do an acoustic duet of One Direction’s ‘What Makes You Beautiful’.  The funny thing is that Hayley was a finalist on X Factor with group Lakoda Rayne, and I was an American Idol semi-finalist.  Finally peace between the two shows :)

The song will be on iTunes shortly.  Special thanks to Randy Peterson and his team for shooting this!

One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

So I heard this song a few times on XM Radio and it’s cool…but I’m just now realizing how big these guys are and where they came from (X Factor UK).  Very interesting…I’m seeing a trend with bands like this (ex. Big Time Rush).  

Are boy bands coming back?  Will some One Direction or Big Time Rush fans fill me in on why they like these guys so much?  I like their tunes…I’m just curious…
