That Thing You Do! (1/5) Movie CLIP - The "Oneders" Go Up-Tempo (1996) HD

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

Anyone who has played in a band knows that "oh no the drummer is going too fast" is a universal feeling.

[@jason60chev]

Moe Purtill, drummer in the original Glenn Miller Orchestra, once said that during a ballad, no one could ever accuse him of dragging, because of they played any slower, they'd stop. When he asked Miller about, Miller said that "all the kids were on the floor, no room; holding close, romance. When they stop doing that, we'll pick'em up". GM - Nation's top dance band from 1939-1942

[@IslesYankeeLady]

One of my all time favorite film scenes

[@jordansollitto2849]

I was fascinated with the way they directed this. It's really not easy to have one guy (the drummer) playing at one tempo and the guying doing harmony gradually catching up to him and intentionally getting ahead of the lead singer...who drags behind defiantly until finally realizes the song is working better than it ever had. Pretty masterful musical direction.

[@07foxmulder]

Jordan Sollitto I thought the same thing. It seems like it would be difficult to have them act/sing off tempo and make it sound honest.

[@TormodSteinsholt]

And lead reclaming the song during the bridge.

[@buzzardking5176]

It's not in this clip but the bass player screws up at one point and he screws it up perfectly in sync with the soundtrack. Masterful musical direction at it's best!

[@SpookeyClown]

The instruments are recorded separately so in the studio, the vocalist was originally singing along to the slower tempo version first then gradually speeding it up. That's movie magic for ya.

The attention to detail in the movie is amazing. Notice how the quality of their guitars gets better as they become more and more successful!

[@MrGregOtis]

Danelectro at their finest. Only guitar you could afford until you got out of that garage.

[@MrGregOtis]

I also see a Silvertone amp on the stage (to the right). Those are collector's items now. My first garage band used one as our PA. Couldn't afford a real PA system.

[@fuhhkuuu3207]

Not just their guitars, notice the way they are playing during this scene compared to later in the movie. They are looking at the guitar and a little tense on the grip, and later they are just jamming out because they practiced so much.

[@CatsPajamas23]

This movie was a pleasure to watch from start to finish.

[@101Volts]

True, the guitar quality does get better in a few aspects, but the guitars they had here were no slouches either. There's a Gibson Les Paul Junior, a Silvertone 1457 (Red Burst, built by Danelectro [but did that exact guitar model exist to the public in the Spring of 1964? Its 1448 sibling did,]) and a Danelectro Bass. The biggest problem these instruments have is, you can't adjust the intonation (explained below) precisely. Even then, they still sound good. Intonation is where a string played open (not fretted; not pressed down) will be at the same exact pitch at the 12th fret. On good quality instruments, you typically want this to be adjusted as well as you can for the string gauges you're using, unless you're trying to imitate the finer details of players who didn't have that, imperfections and all. But with these cheap guitars, you just have to set the intonation as closely as you can for all of the strings, and then it'll probably still be a bit off-kilter. They can all be modified, so that you can adjust intonation, though. Also, as a minor note, I bought parts to build a guitar much like the Red Silvertone 1457 that Lenny's playing, but with the shorter neck that its 1448 sibling (same body shape) had. These Silvertone 1448, 1449 and 1457 models have their own interesting sound. It's perfect for early to late 60s "garage rock" songs; it sounds a bit like a Fender guitar, and also like a rubber band (which helps make it sound a bit endearing, like a 13 year old's guitar.)

[@Dropsy517]

This proves that Lenny was the true visionary of the band....he knew what was up.

[@gregh7927]

Well, he WAS from Erie PA

[@blackspring3207]

My man was with it from the jump.

[@101Volts]

Lenny the "Fool." "Foolish" enough to go with it instead of sticking in the mud, "foolish" enough to kick the song up a notch _with_ the Drummer who dared to be inspired at a moment's notice... And it worked.

[@sonuscordoba]

You got to live and breathe the real rocker days, i'm a 90's/2000's lad and played in originals bands trying to 'make it', got a bit of attention and played some amazing shows but alas the rock gods didn't favour us! We grew up idolising 60's/70's/80's heroes and were always in awe of how good life must've been back then. My dad is your age and was a drummer too, he loves telling us about what it was like back then, everything was new and never been done before...to me it sounded like heaven!

[@avedic]

It's kinda crazy how *_great_* That Thing You Do(the song) is. Most movies that explore the 60's music scene that write original music for it...the songs end up sounding quite stale and imitative...just warmed-over cliches. But _this_ song is legit cool. If it had been released in the 60s it _easily_ would have become a #1 hit. It does pack a *_lot_* of early 60s songwriting cliches into a neat 3 minute package...but it does so, not in a cloyingly nostalgic way, but in the way an actual young band truly in love with music would do it. It just sounds *_fresh_* as hell. :)

[@youdbettertube]

That's because the guy who wrote it is really good at making catchy pop rock--Adam Schlesinger, of the band Fountains of Wayne (of "Stacy's Mom" fame).

[@ChristomirRackov]

Great comment, Avedic. :D And, BTW, that's exactly what the MonaLisa Twins do with their original music; they ARE the actual young band truly in love with music you're talking about! If you haven't heard of them, check them out. ;)

[@Vesnicie]

avedic it felt really fresh when this movie first came out in the 90s. Back then we were having a bit of a 60s throwback anyway so it didn't even sound all that out of place on the top 40 at the time. I certainly got the single as soon as I could!

I love the details in this movie. The choice to include accurate instruments and gear for the different stages of the Oneders careers was really not necessary, but still super cool. Les Paul Juniors and Danelectros were budget guitars back then, and likely what the Oneders could afford at this time. Later when they make it big, they get new shiny Fender Jaguars, Jazzmasters and Jazz basses, very inline with Fenders marketing and endorsement model during that time period. Great movie.

Josie---I was a teenager when this song would've been popular. This movie is one of the best ever done on '60s pop music. It's pretty easy to remember the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, all the great Motown artists. They were stars with long careers.

[@ianpfaffenberger1680]

I remained convinced that this is one of the best soundtracks to accompany a movie, stylistically speaking, of all time. Every song you find on the soundtrack to the movie is perfectly sounded to suit a style of music from the 60’s era. Of course the main song “That Thing You Do” and the 4 other “Wonders” songs you can find fit the Beatles style of rock/sock hop/ballad music perfectly and is identical to what a rock band at that time would be playing. The backup artists songs, such as “Mr Downtown” by Freddy Fredrickson, “My World is Over” by Diane Dane, “Hold My Hand, Hold My Heart” by the Chantrellines, and “Time to Blow” by Del Paxton all fit the 60’s genres of swing pop, Easy Jazz, R&B soul, and classic Jazz respectively. Freddy is practically the representation of Frank Sinatra when he sings. The little things like the trumpet solo in “My World is Over” I feel fit so perfectly in the song and the time frame of the movie and each song just represents a different part of artistic music style in that time period. Whoever wrote all these songs is a genius.

[@cellpat2686]

This is similar to the story of the Beatles with "please please me " that when they changed it from a Roy Orbison - style ballad to a mad fast rock song it turned into their first #1 hit.

The movie may have seemed a little underappreciated at its release back on October 4, 1996. Not by my wife and me. We saw it four times before it left the theater by early-January 1997. The color pallette throughout That Thing You Do! is exquisite, especially when the scene shifts to Hollywood. I remember reading an article about the movie in Entertainment Weekly and it detailed getting the movie from the initial concept to the page and to the big screen. I also remember reading something to the effect that had Tom Hanks been a little younger, that he would have portrayed Guy Patterson in the movie. It rings true somewhat since Tom Everett Scott does resemble a very youthful Tom Hanks.

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

Giovanni Ribisi ( the first drummer Chad ) and Tom Hanks were also both in Saving Private Ryan (1998).

Poor guy never got the reach that fame, but funny he was watching them live with Guy's family anyway

The amazing thing about this movie is that the plot centers around a band recording a big hit in the 60's, and the actual song sounds like a big hit that would have been recorded in the 60's. There is no suspension of disbelief needed whatsoever.

[@WalterFrith]

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.

[@clintflicker7682]

you're part of the problem

[@andrastereminiec9631]

Spitfire, the wonders isn't a real rock group

[@Emanresuadeen]

What are you talking about? These moments are still happening. There and still bands and hit songs last time I checked. p.s. your youtube name would make a great band name!

Satire: "It's over, so why look to disprove what we think's true?"

[@wearewildcoast]

So not true, man! I watched "The Lumineers" play "ho, hey" at an open mic a year before they took over the world. I saw Nathanial rateliff in a quiet fabric shop in Denver a few months before SOB literally took over the radio/internet. It still happends!

You can’t cut the clip at the guitar solo....😭

[@bryanalcantarfilms]

This is just a fun little movie. I fell in love with this movie after I first saw it many years ago. It really cheers me up. And I absolutely love the main song. It always randomly pops up in my head sometimes. Such a great film. Tom Hanks was great as usual.

This is a great movie, and the attention to detail is awesome. Listening to the soundtrack one sees that they did not just created some bits of music for specific moments, but they actually composed and arranged the complete songs. Also many details, two of my favourites being the evolution of their instruments (from cheap Silvertone guitars to Fender and Rickenbacker), and the jazz station interview. This last one, not only because of the "what is a pop band doing here?" mood, but also because of the "which artist popped your cherry?" question by the DJ. Dumb bass player takes the question literally and blurts out "THE CHANTRELLINES!"...my interpretation is that literally one of the singers from the group "popped his cherry" lol

Find you a friend that sees you call an audible and runs with it no questions asked the way Lenny did with Guy.

[@vilislacis3337]

I like the moment when first girl starts dancing, first sign that success is on the way!

[@mayhemjr.803]

Charlize is doing the " what the HELL am I doing here" pose.

[@NikkkitoNippongo]

I believe that this part of the movie, playing the song faster was inspired by the Beatles's "Please Please Me" John had the idea of a song Roy Orbison's style, but George Martin, The Beatles producer told them to play the song faster, and guess what: that song was their first hit, just like this one on the movie!

[@OverlandOne]

Too bad Ringo did not play on that recording. Martin wanted a studio drummer to do it and all agreed.

[@gazz_lad]

Nope That was love me do

[@vassa1972]

Loved the movie reminds me of my good old days lol

[@kiagrandcarnival]

Great song. Anybody notice the bass player in the movie was Mr Papageorgio in Vegas Vacation?

[@blofeld39]

...no, he wasn't; he was Rusty Griswold! :-o

[@GrandmasDay32]

I love the fact that someone took the time to look up what instruments garage bands played starting out. Danelectro/Silvertone for the win!

[@tfath]

I had a Silvertone amp like Steve is using when I was in HS. Still popular...Cold Play and Alabama Shakes use the same model. Beck uses a Silvertone guitar similar to Steve's.

[@TheMoviePodium]

Best part of the whole movie! So many fun and inspirational scenes. Musician here as well!
