“Hi,
I have searched for hours trying to find an artist name and song title. It was a 1990’s band I believe that sang an uplifting POP song. The lead singer was a guy and he had a few other members in the group (all early twenties). I believe they only had one hit and then the lead singer left and had little success on his own. I also believe the video of the hit song may have been filmed in a bowling alley or maybe a mall. I remember the song saying things like you are a star or a superstar, but I could be wrong. A similar song was Smash Mouth’s All Star.” The answer is the New Radicals and their 1999 hit song, “You Get What You Give”. The New Radicals got huge buzz when “You Get What You Give” became a hit, because it was an uplifting sounding song on the eve of the Y2K. U2’s Edge was quoted saying it was the one song he wished he had written. Ice T said the song was a non-hip-hop song he was listening to at the time.
