I'm drunk so I thought it was time to draw a line in the sand you fuckers.

If you think the New Radicals embody soul, you're whiter than I am.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 4 September 2004 06:09 (twenty years ago)

Souless beast!

― djdee2005, Saturday, 4 September 2004 06:11 (twenty years ago)

They suck(ed). But beyond their indisputable suckage, they're also ancient history. Why are you even concerned with them? They were a meaningless, flash-in-pan, momentary floater who were deservedly flushed.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 4 September 2004 06:12 (twenty years ago)

They're all fakes let's kick their ass in!

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Saturday, 4 September 2004 06:12 (twenty years ago)

Bcuz the single and the first track give my life meaning.
And make me happy.

the new radicals are home.

if I could ask god just one question....

WHY AREN'T YOU HERE WITH ME?!

― djdee2005, Saturday, 4 September 2004 06:13 (twenty years ago)

Need I remind you Alex...

What? That people are idiots? This is not a newsflash.

Stick with your hip hop, djdee...you are clearly lost when it comes to other genres.

Blah blah "stick to my genre" whatever whatever everyone can like pop and this is brilliant pop rock. Top notch. Perfect.

Joni Mitchell likes them.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Saturday, 4 September 2004 06:33 (twenty years ago)

Joni Mitchell is a drunkard just like the rest of them.

― Gear! (Gear!), Saturday, 4 September 2004 06:37 (twenty years ago)

Joni Mitchell is a virus.

This thread is great! Everybody keep up the good work.

The guy went on to produce other cool stuff too, right? I forget what. But yeah we need more tear-up-tha-mall videos, especially ones with like blaque getting in on the action.

Speaking of which people who don't like blaque have no soul.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Saturday, 4 September 2004 06:48 (twenty years ago)

might I remind people that we are talking about the New Radicals?

I love the new radicals cus they are fun and groovy.

Some people feel offended by those qualities in music. I have no idea why.

― supercub, Saturday, 4 September 2004 09:09 (twenty years ago)

DONT LET GO
YOU'VE GOT THE MUSIC IN YOU

what other good songs did they do

― artiste (artiste), Saturday, 4 September 2004 09:45 (twenty years ago)

"other"?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 4 September 2004 09:50 (twenty years ago)

what's worse is that they aren't even original. they ripped off world party who were a yuppie-flu versin of the beatles...!

― doomie x, Saturday, 4 September 2004 09:51 (twenty years ago)

Mother We Just Can't Get Enough is a good one

Alex did the New Radicals guy hurt your puppy or something?

― supercub, Saturday, 4 September 2004 09:55 (twenty years ago)

yesterday someone was playing a combination of new radicals and jamiquuri really fucking loud. it was so awful. blandness turned up to eleven. i never want to experience that again.

― doomie x, Saturday, 4 September 2004 09:57 (twenty years ago)

I'll agree with Jamiquuri bashing

― supercub, Saturday, 4 September 2004 09:58 (twenty years ago)

Alex did the New Radicals guy hurt your puppy or something?

I just take exception to whiney, preachy, sanctimonious, shrill shit. You obviously have less demanding ears, it seems. I have no idea why.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:00 (twenty years ago)

i mean, jamiewocky and new radicals - same band, really, isn't it?

― doomie x, Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:00 (twenty years ago)

My ears are offended.

― supercub, Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:01 (twenty years ago)

Well, Jay Kay wore a few more hats than Gregg Alexander. And a better dancer, for whatever that's worth. And more into Stevie Wonder than Todd Rundgren.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:02 (twenty years ago)

yeah but the same degrees of blandness are still there and both sound surprisingly similar as i was treated to both, yesterday, by my downstairs neighbour.

― doomie x, Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:03 (twenty years ago)

Jay Kay is a twat, right?

Who is his mother again?

― supercub, Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:04 (twenty years ago)

I'd never want to be accused of defending Jamiroquai, but they had a lot more groove than the lumpen plonky plink wheezing of the New Radicals.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:05 (twenty years ago)

but new radicals just *barely* win the contest of the blander for ripping off world party.

― doomie x, Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:05 (twenty years ago)

new radicals and jamiroquai = edgy music for people who don't like edgy music.

― doomie x, Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:09 (twenty years ago)

i.e. the office party choice! (put in stereophonics, oasis, etc in that catergory)

― doomie x, Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:10 (twenty years ago)

Ppl who don't like the Black Eyed Peas have no soul.

So, is it me? Or are the Black Eyed Peas really embarassing?

HE DID "LIFE IS ROLLERCOASTER" FOR RONAN KEATING PEOPLE! STOP THIS MADNESS!

Let's have a look at the worst lyrics in history again shall we?

Hey baby, you really
Got me flying tonight
Hey sugar, you almost
Got us punched in a fight
(That's all right)

PUNCHED IN A FIGHT? F.U.C.K.S.S.A.K.E.!!!!!!!

If I ever see him in a bar I'm going to find the hardest bastard in there and tell him "Hey, that prick from Westlife just called you a child-molester" and point at Ronan. Because it's a perfectly acceptable thing to do to Our Keats according to this slabbering piece of brainslop.

― Gribowitz (Lynskey), Saturday, 4 September 2004 10:34 (twenty years ago)

a fine example of music for people who don't like music.
(or crap for people with no taste)

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Saturday, 4 September 2004 11:04 (twenty years ago)

all i know by world party is their cover of all the young dudes on the clueless soundtrack, and you get what you give is much better than that, and no beatles single has ever made me feel as unreservedly happy as ygwyg has!

this was a personally "important" single to me too as at the time it helped get me back into listening to pop music

i dont see how people can hate a song with so many hooks and great moments and face themselves in the mirror in the morning

― artiste (artiste), Saturday, 4 September 2004 13:07 (twenty years ago)

I LOVE ALEX IN NYC!!!

I downloaded the two singles. I now like the New Radicals much more, and Alex much less.

"You Get What You Give" is a great song - I just thought that it had an awfully short shelf life.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 22 January 2005 20:14 (twenty years ago)

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:51 (seventeen years ago)

Alex in NYC hates it, so obviously "You Get What You Give" is ace. Can we add something to the ILX FAQ to this effect? Maybe with a heading "What is pabulum and can you eat it?"

No, seriously, this is a great song. I'm surprised this thread has been so anti (and the lack of good taste of Frenchbloke in particular across a range of threads has depressed me exceedingly); I always assumed the track was one of those rare exceptions where *everyone* felt compelled to acknowledge its awesomeness.

The funny thing about that Michelle Branch/Santana collaboration that the guy wrote is that Santana's guitar lick totally sounds like the little re-occuring motif in The Style Council's "My Ever Changing Moods"

― dell, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:58 (seventeen years ago)

Musically I'm a sucker for the Rundgren-ism of "You Get What You Give", but the lyrics kinda bug me, I think.

Was there some Tina Yothers involvement w/the New Radicals, or am I confusing something else?

― dell, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago)

she wrote all their songs

― latebloomer, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 22:19 (seventeen years ago)

you're thinking of Danielle Brisebois who was the little girl on Archie Bunker's place. she now writes for Kelly Clarkson and stuff.

― max r, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 23:04 (seventeen years ago)

I love how the video continually leaves Brisebois out of the frame, so you only see brief glimpses of her. It's a wonderful irony, since the keyboard part is what makes the song.
