Good stuff, I say, gets an award (6)
I believe the answer is:
grammy
'award' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'good stuff i say' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'stuff' becomes 'ram' (ram can mean to stuff or push).
'i say' becomes 'my' (both are exclamations of surprise).
'g'+'ram'+'my'='GRAMMY'
'gets an' is the link.
(Other definitions for grammy that I've seen before include "National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences award" , "Annual award in the US for the music industry." , "Record industry award" , "US recording industry equivalent of an Oscar" , "Award for CD" .)
