New Radicals Special Reaction! - You Get What You Give

[@kc1184]

Glad you guys reviewed this song! It's a classic from the late 90s/early 00s. I remember this being a popular song played on the radio often.

[@vic_barros.delben]

I love that song! Brings back late 90s memories

[@keithetherington4824]

I'm 65 years old and this is one of my go to songs that keeps me going and alive. Great reaction 🎉

[@michaelasay8587]

Me too .. and Karen Carpenter music I need in this crazy world😢😢😢

[@vanicksales2943]

"Someday We'll Know" it is also memorable

[@brentholcomb7842]

I remember when I worked at Starbucks, Joni Mitchell made a playlist CD that we sold called "Artist's Choice" with her favorite songs on it. Two of the songs she picked were her own songs, and then there were like fifteen songs that were all very old, like classical and big band. And then finally, this song closed out her playlist with a comment from her saying something to the effect of "This funky white guy rocks- the first song to make me turn up the radio in decades." And you know Joni Mitchell never lies.

THE MORE YOU KNOW: The keyboard player for the New Radicals (if you watch the right side of the screen, you get a glimpse of her every so often) is Danielle Brisebois. Probably not known to many, but Gen-Xer tv fans might recognize her as Stephanie, the young girl that moves in with Archie & Edith Bunker in “All in the Family”. She went on to co-star in “Archie Bunker’s Place,” and several episodes of the prime time soap opera “Knots Landing”. After about 10 years of acting (highlighted with a couple of appearances on “Battle of the Network Stars”) she turned to music. In addition to playing with the New Radicals, she wrote several hit songs and has continued to work with Gregg Alexander long after the Radicals disbanded.

I LOVE this song! 1998 was like an oasis for me in a sea of blackness on either side of that year, and this song honestly takes me back to that very special year. I was at art school, and i loved every minute of it. I remember making friends with a girl called Libby, and she and I would sing to the songs on the radio as we went wild with the paints, and this song was one of our favourites! We would have the windows to the art room wide open, with the sun blazing outside. Such great times! I lost touch with her just a couple of years later, and when I hear this song, I always think of her and the wonderful summer we had on our art course ❤

The lead singer's name is: Gregg Alexander.

[@samanthiavallery9255]

I always remember this playing on PBS as a kid

[@najwaflowers8038]

Great timeless song❤

[@benoconnell1085]

Len - 'steal my sunshine' is another banger from this era and it kinda feels like it could be this song's sister track

[@CanadianHorseFace]

Marilyn Manson said : ''what offends me is to see my name next to Courtney Love'' LOL. I'm not kidding.

[@blueprint0162]

This came out in 1998.

[@SmileySaidIt]

Felt like yesterday 😢

[@vic_barros.delben]

To me 1998 was like 10 years ago😅

[@okbasic353]

Well now I want them to do Steal My Sunshine

[@Teresaisall]

They played this song on the intercom at my high school every morning before class. Always assumed it was to prevent teen suicide.

[@TheSwedishKiwi]

Love this song so much! Brings back such happy memories :)

[@aquablushgirl]

I had a boyfriend who was so into the New Radicals. He leant me his cd of 'Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too' when I went on holiday and I became completely obsessed. They really remind me of the early 00's and living in London and having no real responsibilities. They may not have produced much music as a group, but Greg Alexander went on to write for loads of different artists. One of his biggest hits is 'Murder on the Dancefloor' sung by Sophie Ellis Bextor.

[@JKFoundaStone]

Gregg Alexander is a great songwriter, period. He also wrote a bunch of very successful songs for other artists (many of them European, but I'm sure you have heard some of them).

[@Wildcat_Kyle]

"Murder On The Dancefloor" 💜💙🖤

[@dystar112]

Yep not 2000. I love this one. I love way he dances and there is happiness and sadness for me in this song. It reminds me.of good those times back then. He also has a fantastic voice 💥

[@kriswright1309]

I think Bono said he wished he had wrote this song. It’s a good song

[@davidstanley9543]

This was one of their hits. Their second single they released is really good, but they broke up right after they released it. It later appeared in the movie "A Walk To Remember" years after. They only released one album though. The singer went on to write music for other artists behind the scenes. He even won a grammy as a co-writer later in his career. Pretty interesting.

[@vic_barros.delben]

Someday We'll Know is also a great song from them

[@pmgunnerxx]

I love this song such a good one to react to.

[@Music-tg5is]

The whole album by the New Radicals is great. Each track is an under-appreciated gem.

[@gknowles9172]

I havent heard this in years... I used to love this back in College

[@brendanbetts5650]

This song was in Scooby Doo 2 my introduction to the song 😂

[@winnied87]

No way! Quite recently, I've re-discovered this song and here you are reacting on it. Love the energy and the message.

[@TheYodasoda3742]

I believe this mall was Santa Monica Place mall, it's now been revamped into a high end "outdoor shops" mall. But poor 3rd street promenade where the mall is at has become deserted and abandoned.

[@lordwalker71]

Guy had one hit decided he didnt like being famous and dipped out, he went on to be a successful song writer for people like geri halliwell, melanie C, ronan Keating, Enrique Iglesias, sophie ellia Bextoe, Santana and Michelle. Branch. He was nominated for an acadeny award in 2015 for best original song for the song lost stars. He has won a grammy as well.

[@Miguelperry411]

Wow! This takes me back to High School. MTV TRL days.😢 l miss those days.

[@Lubbylove89]

It's a shame this band only had one album. I enjoyed their music.

[@lj_2259]

My fave alternative song of all time.

[@yannhollister9091]

Great song but this is from the 90's guys not the 2000's

[@michaelasay8587]

Fantastico 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@deed2157]

Are you guys ok? Do you guys live in Southern California?

[@mitchell1715]

I could never work out why Beck was mainstream

[@humpty_bln]

love that song #letsgo

[@tamazina]

I met his ex songwriting partner once who had decided he 'didn't want to go commercial'. Big mistake!

[@peterwalsh2470]

chick @0:52 looks like she copied Saffron from Republica's look.

[@slimlouis6441]

Why would a song from the 80s have lines in it about Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love lol?

[@winnied87]

Because it's a song from the late 90s. 😂

[@coachtomas]

No comment. Except this one. But it is bottom of the barrel music. I hate you reminded me of it. 🤣
