>New Radicals>apparently really talented>literally blow their whole wad on that one You Only get what you give song>nobody remembers them for anything else and they never made a good song againWhat happened?
>>123665403Yeah, one hit wonders were pretty popular in the 90s.
>>123665403better to be a one hit wonder than a no hit wonder
>>123665403Bono once called that track the best U2 song that U2 didn't write. I'm not saying that cursed them, but... no Bono cursed them.
>>123665403The guy went on the write a bunch of hits for other artists. Sigma move, song royalties to live off forever and don't have to deal with downsides of touring/being famous.
>>123665403>>nobody remembers them for anything elseYou sure? "Someday We'll Know" got covered in a Nicholas Sparks movie, and by Hall and Oates
>new radicals>most middle of the road easy listening slop imaginabledon't know if based or not
>>123665403I tried singing this song at karaoke once.Turns out it's really hard and i gave up halfway through.
>>123665531Always hated that fakeass stupid name
>>123665446Only if you can live comfortably off the royalties
>>123665476Oh yeah, now I think about it, their verse progressions did rip off a fuckload of U2 ones. And the guy sounds like an American Bono. Good observation.
>>123665531>most middle of the road easy listening slop imaginablePlenty of other fuckers who did that 'niche' better than them
>>123665476that's preposterous. no resemblance at all to u2's music. stfu Bongo.
>>123665403The guy disbanded on purpose and went back to just producing. Made a bunch of good songs and lived comfortably.Absolute chad.
>>123666929This, it was basically a industry dude's pet project. He didn't really like performing and had stage fright which is why he wore his hat like that over his eyes. Playing a few shows and festivals as New Radicals made him realize this shit was not his bag so he went back to what he knew.
>HERE COMES THE LAWSUIT, BABYThe greatest music meme that never was
>>123665403It was basically a one-man band, and that one man has always been around, writing songs for other people. Gregg Alexander is his name.
>>123665403It's a very well produced song. Especially the intro.
>>123666985>had stage fright which is why he wore his hat like that over his eyesThat was his copesplanation. He wore it because he was already bald in his 20s
>>123666724it's always better, idiothow would being a no hit wonder be better?
>>123665544I'm partly amused and partly saddened imagining you walking off the stage halfway through your song, dejected and inept.
>>123665403Beck, Hanson, Courtney Love & Marilyn Manson ambushed and beat them all into comas
>>123666724he also wrote "murder on the dancefloor" - he is doing fine
