The 90s backlash has been ugly, with this not only 90s classic, but music classic being pushed aside since radio chewed it up and spit it back out, 1,000 spins later. It still lives on in the minds of millions of fans who still put this high up on their life's soundtrack.
It's a song that runs on a million trains of thoughts, ranging from karma, to self-appreciation, to celebrity-bashing. It's certainly ground-breakingly awesome, bringing awesomeness to another level not only in the world of pop rock, but music period. Hearkening back to those piano-driven pop ballads of the 70s, this outwardly simple song holds a lot of complexity to it. Just ask U2 guitarist/song-writer "The Edge." When asked in Time Magazine back in '06 what songs he would most like to have written, there was "Wonderwall," and "You Get What You Give." And even though some would say it's a throwback to years gone by, it keeps itself a modern eye, staying relevant not only in the 90s, but also in the 00s.
Then you gotta love those vocals, using the false, and they're just so perfect for the song. And again, it's a throwback to the 70s. As for the last few verses, although some outlets have cut them, I don't really care about them, and they kind box the song in the 90s a little bit too much. Although the way he sings it is great, it's kind of here nor there, didn't need that.
So looking at best 90s songs, this ranks in the top 10, which is pretty impressive considering the litnia of the decade. Once the brutal 90s backlash is over this song and ones like it will once again receive the credit they deserve, but until then, "You Get What You Give" will play on as the soundtrack for a moment in time, forever frozen in splendor.

If you have heard of Jeff Lynne and or ELO (The Electric Light Orchestra), this song from The New Radicals will sound a lot like the 70's version of ELO.
It took me about two weeks to track this tune down, and everyone I explained it too thought I was crazy saying it "ELO who?"
The ELO song best close to this is
"All Over The World" (from the Xanadu Soundtrack)
Listen to that and you'll see what I mean...
This song however is a great inspirational song and a great sounding one at that.

Best song ever
I had some difficulty understanding how Amazon's downloader worked in conjunction with my Firefox browser. Limited monthly download volume on satellite isp precludes cloud use.

Great rhythm - "poetic" hooks...
It is a great driving song. Don't overthink it, just roll with the "poetic" rhythm and enjoy the way it draws you in...

Love this song
When I first heard this I thought it was an old resurrected version of an old Mick Jagger tune. To me, the lead singer sounds like a young Mick Jagger! Very nice tune!
