New Radicals - You Get What You Give

Music Appreciation

I was fresh out of college, living in Austin, Texas when Gregg Alexander's New Radicals released their international hit "You Get What You Give."

The lyrics accommodated my young naive view of life and believing, "This whole damn world, could fall apart, You'll be okay, follow your heart." Although, I have to admit the last lyrics in his song still applies today, "Health insurance, rip-off lying FDA, big bankers buying Fake computer crashes dining Cloning while they're multiplying Fashion shoots..."

Directed by Evan Bernard, the music video was shot in Staten Island Mall in New York. The setting was used as a metaphor for society.
