From what Tom Hanks says in the behind the scenes of "That Thing You Do" all the actors had to learn to play their actual instruments and sing the actual songs, these guys may have written "some" songs for the movie, but they did not write all of the songs and the instrument training for the actors was 6 hours a day, 6 days a week for 6 weeks before they even started filming....these"musicians" on Good Day Wisconsin are blowing smoke.
there two lies,, i wrote this song when i was 15 yrs old, i sole it to a record co. in new york.back 70ls,thses to ass holes lie,,i had to get my mom at the sign paper to sell it to new york, ,sound like these idiot just sat down and wrote it ,idiots,no i know they didn't,never ever thnk it end ed up in a movie, the movie was great but this as holesd lie yo every one and the world who wrote it.,,je.
I'm not familiar with Scott, but I've known Rick for about 18 years. He did write a number of songs for the movie, and is in a good number of scenes as the guitarist. Rick is quite talented, and TTYD is still one of my favorite movies. A lot of fun, and the music is great.
@DJFla Talented indeed. The 5 songs Rick and Scott contributed to the film all sound like they could have been top- ten hits from the mid-'60s, especially "She Knows It." Why that song is only used in the closing credits is a mystery. To my ears it's better written, arranged and performed than the film's title track by Fountains of Wayne bassist and backing vocalist Adam Schlesinger. As fine a pop song, in fact, as The Beatles' "Eight Days a Week."
This interview, and the interviewees, are a bit duplicitous. These two gents did NOT write the song "That Thing You Do!", which was written by Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne.
These guys wrote 5 of the 14 songs on the soundtrack, and the interview would have you believe that they did it all. Not so!
