[nolan1795]

[rinthylab]

amazing to me that they sped it up in the movie, and yet the pace still seems so, so slow.

[sjk6101983]

my boyfriend was singing this the other night on the phone.  lol! it was so cute! :)

[Gravida12]

"Breaking my heart in-to a million pieces." Nice lyrical touch. Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne wrote it.

[onthemoveagain]

This song imitates The Beatles circa 1964-hey there's Epstein I mean Tom Hanks in the shades.

Enjoyable Track I might add.

[sjk6101983]

@onthemoveagain But Epstein was gay!! Tom Hanks isn't gay!!

Who is the actor that plays guy patterson (drummer) He was in something else that was popular. Is that really them singing/playing?

[GuanRy]

Guy Patterson is played by Tom Everrett Scott.

He was in Dead Man On Campus and One True Thing w/William Hurt, Renee Zellweger and Meryl Streep. He was also Tara Reid's boss in Van Wilder.

All four actors learned how to play their instruments for the film. :)

[FlyBird]

This is the song is the song of my childhood. The bass is so awesome in this song.

[littlefilipino]

Tom Hanks wrote this song

[coffeeteamix]

According to wikipedia (again, you have the right to not believe me XD), Tom Hanks did write some of the music for the movie, although this song in particular was written by Adam Schlesinger...

[idontexistanymore12]

wat movie is this?? can someone tell...me plssss....

[ErDeivid47]

In Spain "The Wonders" maybe it can helps you

[ErDeivid47]

and in english is "that thing you do" i thing, is a good film for a sunday afternoon

[OdeToBo]

AMAZING!

[raredreamfire]

tarmac, in the movie they say your like the american beatles.

[PorkChops250]

Damn that bass line is insane!

[xbrokenxsummerx]

It's so fun to play~

[tabpark]

i agree

[tabpark]

i agree

[MrTarmac]

The frontman in the band, Jimmy, is heavily modelled on John Lennon, but then the band is heavily modelled on The Beatles anyway. They don't deny that - there are many Beatles references in the film. Most US bands of that period were. Jimmy plays a Rickenbacker guitar and stands just like Lennon when he sings: legs slightly apart, guitar is worn high (nearer his chest than stomach) shoulders raised up near his ears, head jutting forwards to the microphone - Jimmy is Lennon in every sense.

[Ramoneslvr23]

my dad went to college with the drummer

[florenciaCH]

oh he is so lucky!!

[HiImLyssa]

Tom Everett Scott?

Or the drummer of Fountains of Wayne?

Either way, LUCKY.

[applerawkstar]

which drummer?

[ccszm001]

the actor Tom Everett Scott???

LUCKY

[philipsjvcsony]

Great movie and better song... :)

[puchunetaa]

[fefaooooo]

mi sono appassionato da quando avevo 9 anni :) è 1 film mittticcccooo!!

[cbish17]

best movie everrrrrr

[sueangelic]

I love this film!!!

[SeraBabeyy]

It's fictional;

they're not actually called the oneders.

FOOL

[LionFou2]

believe it or not they were a real band. the story isnt fictional.

[hotsauce69247]

The story is fictional. The Wonders never existed...

[Eohrider]

Whatever, it's a cool movie! lol

[LionFou2]

no it was a real band. my mom was a fan

[coffeeteamix]

according to wikipedia (haha), The Wonders was not supposed to be a real band when the movie was made... but after they released the song on the movie's soundtrack, it became "a genuine hit for The Wonders". So guess those guys became known as a real band... pretty interesting way to start and end a band XD

[LionFou2]

wikipedia is the worst source of information in the world. anyone can edit it so it is very hard for it to be true

[yazidfromthearctic]

there's a someone that watches the editing.you can edit the stuffs in there but it'll be filtered first.

[Wowidiot98]

They were a real band dude, they werent big cuz this was their only hit

[yazidfromthearctic]

wow.you live in a movie world.how's superman doing.stupid

[Celestialmaterial]

LOL!!!! BURNED!!!! LMAO!!!!

[kelsoXpresso]

LMFAO!! that was amaaaazing!

kels.

[FinalKH]

He is over a hundred years old and live in a retirement house.

[wulfgyr]

Look it up on Wikipedia and IMDB. The band is fictional. Of course a lot of what happens in the movies is based on things that happened to real bands of the time, but the band itself- completely fictional and this song was written for the movie.

[s0yaboy]

this song is a One Hit wonder thats why

[matthewtr2010]

One of the members of Fountains of Wayne actually wrote the song and submitted it in a contest. It does sound like one of or a few of them singing it too.

[sorayung]

theyre actualy called the oneders

[Gugaine]

i like this song! ;)

[B14C2S]

The film is "that thing you do"

[jenikyle21]

[jenikyle21]

[mkes1234]

ahhh i love this movie and liv tyler is GOREGEUOS

[ShockDoc]

Fountains of Wayne (or members of) provided the voices-not sure if it's them doing the music or not.

[littlemisssunshine8]

i love this movie!!

[darzimoth]

This is an incredible song....an incredible movie...an incredible time...tom hanks is amazing...liv tyler is just beautiful

[debpuggys]

would people please  have this band on myspace gosh !!

[nthomas81]

You should search the Jonas Brothers, they are relatively new band, just performed on the AMAs on ABC. They have some catchy old beats like this with the doo wop type background.I started listening to them cause my kids did, now i am the fan.. try "still in love with you" and "Australia". I think you will be surprised. They even write there own stuff!

[gujubeleza]

why dontt we have music like this anymore???

[fossefan]

Would someone please upload the scene where all the characters hear themselves on the radio for the first time? It's my favorite!

[W1ldKardde]

spartacus

[nezraal]

out of curiosity what is the real band for this song ?

[W1ldKardde]

the wonders

[nezraal]

according to wiki there is no such band. its the song for the movie - i just wanted to know who the artists are anyway like the ones who played it, wrote the songs "not the movie" stuff. sorry if i am not making sense

[poobookachoo]

i dont know the artist but i do know tom hanks wrote this song

[W1ldKardde]

The song was released as a single in promotion for the film and for its soundtrack. Although not as successful as the song had been in the film, it still did well

The song was written by Adam Schlesinger. Performers include Mike Viola on vocals with Schlesinger on backup vocals

[wulfgyr]

According to Wikipedia:

The movie features original music by Hanks, Adam Schlesinger, Rick Elias, Scott Rogness, Mike Piccirillo, Gary Goetzman and Howard Shore. "That Thing You Do" was written and composed by Adam Schlesinger, bassist for Fountains of Wayne and Ivy. Mike Viola of The Candy Butchers provided the distinctive lead vocals for the Wonders.

[nezraal]
