"You Get What You Give" is a 1998 song by the New Radicals. It was an international hit, the first and most successful single from their album ''Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too''. It reached number 30 on ''Billboard'' Hot 100 Airplay in January 1999, number 36 on the overall Hot 100 and number eight on the ''Billboard'' Modern Rock chart.〔(Billboard.com – Artist Chart History – The New Radicals )〕 It reached number five in the United Kingdom and number one in Canada and New Zealand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top Singles – Volume 68, No. 15, February 01 1999 )〕 It has been played over 1 million times on U.S. radio. This song appeared on the 1999 compilation album ''Now That's What I Call Music! 2'' and on the soundtrack album of the 2004 Warner Bros. Movie ''Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed'',〔()〕 as well as the Sony Pictures animated movie ''Surf's Up'' in 2007 and the movie ''Click'' in 2006. The B-side was "To Think I Thought". ==Controversy== Much of the media attention "You Get What You Give" received centered on the closing lyrics: :"''Health insurance, rip-off lying'' :''FDA, big bankers buying'' :''Fake computer crashes dining'' :''Cloning while they're multiplying'' :''Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson,'' :''Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson'' :''You're all fakes, run to your mansions'' :''Come around, we'll kick your ass in.''" According to Alexander, he had written this section for the song as a test; to see whether the media would focus on the important political issues of the first few lines, or the petty celebrity-dissing. As suspected, a considerable amount of press began to appear about the name-dropping, and the other political issues were largely ignored.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Radicals Song Misunderstood, Singer Says )〕 Marilyn Manson commented that he was "not mad he said he'd kick my ass, I just don't want to be used in the same sentence as Courtney Love.... I'll crack his () skull open if I see him."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= New Radicals Discuss Slighting Marilyn Manson And Courtney Love, Manson Responds ) 〕 Beck reported that Alexander personally apologized for the line when they met each other by chance in a supermarket, claiming that it was never meant to be personal. Alexander collaborated with Hanson, whose drummer, Zac Hanson, called him "a bit of a character, but a cool guy." Although the lines were used for the band's Top of the Pops appearance, it was truncated at "kick you". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「You Get What You Give」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
