I was teaching high school, had tonsilitis. Couldn't speak, but couldn't take time off. I played this movie to 20 classes. I watched it with them every time and never got tired of it. Great movie!
Especially the part where Faye hears the song on the radio for the first time while mailing letters. She stops with the stamp stuck on her tongue, then runs off, forgetting to mail the letters, runs back, shoves them in the mailbox and takes off down the street screaming. She happens to run by the Bass Player and tells him what station to turn to then he takes off running with her all the way to Guy’s father’s store. It’s funny when the Bass Player stops, in all his excitement, to wipe his feet at the door. Jimmy and Lenny just park their car in the middle of the street and leap out, then run into the store where they begin to turn every radio in the store to that station. It was so well done, the way the music starts through a high pass filter, to give it that transistor radio sound, but as each nicer stereo system comes on, the bass becomes richer and richer until that real nice high fidelity stereo fills the whole store with the music, but not until T.B. Player slaps it a few times. (T.B.Player is actually how “The Bass Player” is listed in the credits). Hanks never gave him a name in the script. The Old Man starts bitching at all of his friends. “Son, you wanna get your cotton-picking mitts off of that..”. My favorite is, “Put that Dow! That is a very expensive floor display!” which is a cardboard cut-out of some lady that is very, very 1960s looking, but she was the only thing Lenny could find to kiss. I thought he was going to kiss that girl, who might be Guy’s sister or cousin or some relative. IDK, she may just be an employee, but I know he doesn’t pay her. When Guy left to go on tour, the father promoted her to Guy’s position and she said, “does this mean I get paid?”, and he said “no!”, so I figured she must be a relative. Anyway, that is a great scene of many in this charming film. Hanks did a hell of a job on this movie. Just a great story about characters who would never hang together if it wasn’t for the one common thread, their music. It was a quite genius plot thread that Guy decided to speed up the song, during a live performance! Luckily, it paid off for him. Jimmy finally agreed that it was better fast at the end of the scene in the store, where they hear it on the radio for the first time. It’s easy to miss, but he does say “you were right, I knew it all along” as they’re dancing around the center display in his father’s store.
You obviously were the cool teacher everyone hoped to have.❤Anyone who could watch this movie multiple times & never tire of it...that's cool in my book!!😂
My garage band literally did this back in 1979. We asked a young pastor if we could record in his church after hours. I still have the recordings. Not that you'd want to hear them, but I still have them.
BrianMChampion That's so cool! What kind of music did you play? Were you pretty good? I love music that started at home. ^_^ I bet the acoustics were phenomenal, huh?
“That Thing You Do” is one of my top 3 favorite original soundtrack songs ever. RIP Adam Schlesinger. Thank you for this work of genius and happy piece of my childhood. Gone waaaaay too soon ☹️☹️☹️☹️
That’s actually a great comparison. But you were correct Tom Hanks immediately sent these guys to BK once he solidify who the members of the wonders would be. And I heard at the table. He actually had the band perform when it was time for them to rock a crowd.so cool. And yet the monkeys had to fight for the right to become a band even though records and album sales were going through the roof!
The 90s produced some coming of age gems. This one is such a great movie. They really captured the early 60s. Tom Everett scott actually played drums. How amazing is he.
In the scene where they hear their song on the radio for the first time, and all wind up at the store, Jimmy says to Guy as they're jumping in a circle. "You were right! I knew it the whole time!" Jimmy is as big of a tool as they come.
@@anickwynnproduction yes, I was going to say the same thing, but I saw your comment. It’s easy to miss. I think I saw this about 5 times before I heard Jimmy saying that to Guy. Like he knew it the whole time, yeah, get real Jimmy. I noticed it because he was pointing his finger right in Guy’s face as they’re dancing around. Then I listen close to what he was saying and it was there. “You were right! I knew it!”. The end part of this scene was not in the original edit of the movie. It makes more sense with this scene, because later, he bitches to Mr. White about only getting one take for ,”All My Only Dreams” and wants Playtone to foot the bill to record another take, even though it’s the B side of the record, so no one cares but Jimmy. That must have been the “Lovers Lament Crap” that Mr White said, “no more to” when they finally got in the studio? You can tell here that “All My Only Dreams” was more important to Jimmy than their hit song. The funny thing is, right before the credits, it says that Jimmy had more hits for Playtone Records and became a record producer. Two of the songs he made for Playtone play during the credits. His band’s name was “The Heardsman”, one of the stupid names he suggested before they settled on the “O-Neaders”. At least it wasn’t the “Chord-vettes”.

Saw this on Saturday, October 5, 1996. Saw it twice more, my wife and I, before it left the theater. It boggles my mind somewhat in that it's been twenty-three years since That Thing You Do! was released. _Twenty-three_ years.

0:50 I like how the extra playing the server knocks over some glass item in the background, and Liv turns around to look, but Johnathon doesn't skip a beat and they still used the scene in the movie.
It’s also ends up being a nice character detail. Faye pays attention to others and what’s going on around her and Jimmy is single-minded in pursuit of his goal.
Makes me smile when they heard their song on the radio for the first time. My band went through the same emotions when one our originals was played on WSHE radio in South Fla 1987.
the scene was recorded in the church that I attend and work at right now, and one of my old colleagues from church was actually there these days when they were recording he met Tom Hanks and was helping them set-up
One thing I like about this movie is how each character resembles the personality of a Beatle. Their positions on each instrument are switched but Jimmy is Lennon, Guy is McCartney, Lenny is Ringo and T.B. Player is George. Very clever whether it was intended that way or not.
@@SpaceAce1993umm…nah. His name is Ethan Embry, and he was in some prettt good movies in the 90’s. Mostly known for “Can’t hardly wait” which was a fairly big movie when it came out. Nonetheless, honestly no need to be ignorant about him. Almost like the guy pissed in your cheerios or something. Did he hurt you? 😂
I thought vinyl was being phased out in the 90s when CDs became the dominant music format, especially 45rpm singles. The B side is usually another song that was put on Side B of the 45 and side A was the single. I know DJs could still by 12 inch maxi singles back then, but those were mostly white label promo records to be played on the radio or in clubs. I think vinyl really started coming back in the mid 2000s and that's when more people started buying turntables and new-release albums were being sold on vinyl, but were spanned across two discs because loudness wars and those releases often sounded like ass.
A memory just came to me.when this came out I use to sit and play along on my mark ll.good times.that was very important in contribution to who I became as a adult musician now at 36
Yea,and she doesn’t come off like the usual stuck on herself Hollywood type chick. Seems like a real down to Earth girl. I fall in love with her in almost every film I’ve seen her in....especially this one.❤️❤️❤️
I one time passed her by in the West Village in NYC and she was standing on the street with no makeup. Honestly man, she was stunning. A natural beauty. She smiled at my wife and I as we walked by.
The actor who comes in at 0:13 ("Wasn't that our fan?") is one Sean Whalen, a great character actor, and a heckuva nice guy, if you happen to get to meet him. Wifey & I met him at a convention before the pandemic, and he was GREAT!!!
Yeah, I knew it wasn’t in the original cut, or I would have remembered that. It would have made the scene where Jimmy asks Mr. White if they can have another take of the B side, “All My Only Dreams”. He said here he could do it in one take, but later on, he still wants another take. I think that song was the kind of “Lover’s Lament crap” that Mr. White said he wanted no more of in the studio, right before Jimmy walks out. It funny because Mr. White acts like if Jimmy walks out, his music career will be over, but in the end, it says that Jimmy went on to make several hits for Playtone and become a record producer. Two of the songs he did with his group, the Heardsman (he just had to have some name spelled wrong for the sake of some puzzle, like the “O-needers ” or the “Chord-vettes” or the “Heardsman”, which he finally got to do.
@@steviesevieria1868 everyone kept pronouncing it like, “the o-needers”. I think that was the first thing Lenny said when Jimmy showed it written out. Lenny said, “yeah, it looks like the O-needers.”. When Villipiano called them the “O-needers”, Lenny corrected him and said, “it’s the O-Enders”, as in the O-ned-ers. It was very confusing until they went with just “The Wonders”, as in, “I wonder what happened to the O-needers?
One of my favorites! Pretty cool how Tom Hanks real life movie production company is called PLAYTONE after the record company in the movie. Zahn’s character leading the band at the Fair was my favorite song.
In the actual released movie the scene ends exactly at 2:42 The last word is "Wednesday" and then the next scene I believe is cut to Villapianos restaurant where they sell the 45s at the door. So after 2:42 all action was edited out. And what was edited _IN_ that you don't see in this clip is Lenny shaking his head at Jimmy and whispering "no, no." as if to say: don't be such a pain.
The Dark Knight In the movie, when Mr. White asks for the tapes from the church recording, Jimmy states that they were only able to do one take for the B side and asked if it could be done, again. Mr. White says that it’s fine just the way it is. That B side single take must have been killing Jimmy.
It was actually Adam Schlesinger (bass player for Fountains of Wayne) and Jody Porter (the guitar player from Fountains of Wayne), but Jody didn't approve the submission of the song and was not credited.
0:20 I don't think anyone else could have pulled off that line other than Steve Zahn. Lenny is such an idiot but I love how he does sarcasm where you're not quite sure if he's being sarcastic. It's hilarious and such a trip.
Poor Faye, she is so enamored with Jimmy and he does her so dirty. Also, this must be an extended scene deleted from the theatrical release. The part about recording the B side (in one take) wasn't in the original cut.
Me too!! "Do you know what this is?" "Presidential flash cards?" My brain tells me to love Skitch Patterson but my heart and laughter is all for Lenny... ^_^
When I was a kid, I had no idea what Uncle Bob was talking about, so I just assumed that maybe every day of the week corresponds to something in the bible. So I figured Luke 21:19 was Bible shorthand for Wednesday. I was a really dumb kid.
...so the next time you hear someone exclaim, "Hey! It's our fan!", you'll now know where that expression came from (even if its a little different from what Steve Zahn actually said in the movie).

That’s wicked!
All the “B-side, one take” stuff is from the extended DVD version, cool stuff!
I wonder why they cut that out, it shows Jimmy's control freak tendencies starting to emerge
Thanks! Was wondering why I didn't remember that part in this scene. Guess I never saw the extended DVD version
Yeah, I knew it wasn’t in the original cut, or I would have remembered that. It would have made the scene where Jimmy asks Mr. White if they can have another take of the B side, “All My Only Dreams”. He said here he could do it in one take, but later on, he still wants another take.

It funny because Mr. White acts like if Jimmy walks out, his music career will be over, but in the end, it says that Jimmy went on to make several hits for Playtone and become a record producer.

The movie just flowed so much better without the director's cut.
I love the 2.5hr cut of this movie.
The Dark Knight In the movie, when Mr. White asks for the tapes from the church recording, Jimmy states that they were only able to do one take for the B side and asked if it could be done, again. Mr. White says that it’s fine just the way it is. That B side single take must have been killing Jimmy.
Tom Hanks is a genius!
Rest in Peace, Adam Schlesinger.
I still listen to all the greats....The Wonders...Zack Attack...Barry Jive Uptown Five...California Dreams...etc...
Tom Hanks wrote some of the songs .Love the movie.
It was actually Adam Schlesinger (bass player for Fountains of Wayne) and Jody Porter (the guitar player from Fountains of Wayne), but Jody didn't approve the submission of the song and was not credited.
I've never seen it.
tony wilson don’t forget piper pop royalty, Mike Viola. Check out his solo stuff
Great movie, great song.
2021 anyone???! 😍😍
This is my favorite movie to watch
Let's make a bet: Who here thinks, "All my Only Dreams" is fine just the way it is?
0:20 I don't think anyone else could have pulled off that line other than Steve Zahn. Lenny is such an idiot but I love how he does sarcasm where you're not quite sure if he's being sarcastic. It's hilarious and such a trip.
I have virtually adopted most of this movie's dialog into my daily vernacular haha.
When you realize that both of the men that played Mr Heffley are in this movie
I love this film! And the soundtrack is good too.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Is that Chris Isaak playing Uncle Bob?
Yes Sir
Yeppers
I just realized that right now and I’ve seen this movie countless times lol
@@07foxmulder Same here. I had no idea until this clip and the comments.
Of course it is. Who else WOULD you get to play Uncle Bob.
Love this movie. Zahn is hilarious throughout the whole flick! Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne wrote the song. RIP Adam.
Legendary movie, turned me onto the drums
One of the most underrated movies ever
This is such a great film..
O-ne of my favorite movies.
“Hey wasn’t that our _fan_ ?”
Yes, RIP for Adam S. Such a great song, this.
Poor Faye, she is so enamored with Jimmy and he does her so dirty.
Also, this must be an extended scene deleted from the theatrical release. The part about recording the B side (in one take) wasn't in the original cut.
It's from the Directors Cut.
"I think it was STILL too fast."
Agreeing, it's just a couple bpm too fast.
A classic movie. Awesome!
My wife and I quote this movie all the time.
Me too!! "Do you know what this is?" "Presidential flash cards?" My brain tells me to love Skitch Patterson but my heart and laughter is all for Lenny... ^_^
Great movie, especially for hometown pride!
This Is My favorite movie ever!
"Whose Luke"... Wednesday 🤣🤣🤣
Some say uncle Bob was so inspired by the Wonders that he started a career in music and changed his name to Chris Isaak
The claps were a clutch addition.
Long live Liv Tyler Goddess
😳👍👍👍👍
Uncle Bob went on to produce The Who’s “Who’s Next” and Pink Floyd’s “Animals.”
I like how Uncle Bob is helping Faye out on the rhythm clapping.
"And we have to watch our language".
My god this is one of the most quotable movies of all time, right up there with Lebowski and Mean Girls
I never knew that Uncle Bob was played by Chris Isaak. He’s a pretty good actor tbh
aaannnndddd now I have to watch the whole movie, lol
I have actually ALWAYS listened to acoustic's in Churches after seeing this movie.....and I often wonder "Hmmmmm.....sounds good"
From Brent Spiner…”What did Patrick say?…(as Captain Picard: ‘I LOVE this film!’)”
Yes, it IS Chris "Wicked game" Isaak! Just had to IMDB it. Didnt know he was acting too...
*Table nineteen, your pizza’s ready.*
Did table 19 get their order?? 😂😂😂
Great little movie.
Wow that thing you do was a awesome movie
Uncle Bob is the 5th Wonder. WTG Bob.
Fun fact the fan is on Friends
And Twister, Never Been Kissed, Charlie's Angels
@@Legoflymaster89 ...and _Cable Guy_ (1996)
The last 20 seconds of this clip is not in the original DVD.
When I was a kid, I had no idea what Uncle Bob was talking about, so I just assumed that maybe every day of the week corresponds to something in the bible. So I figured Luke 21:19 was Bible shorthand for Wednesday. I was a really dumb kid.
But at least you were on the right track and "shorthanding" in the best of all possible books ...
Nah, you weren't dumb...just inexperienced with life at the time. It's okay! ^_^
Hey pops. I'll give you a pop. Reminds me of my dad !
...so the next time you hear someone exclaim, "Hey! It's our fan!", you'll now know where that expression came from (even if its a little different from what Steve Zahn actually said in the movie).
