That Thing You Do Soundtrack

Descripción
Descripción del producto That Thing You Do!: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Tienda The early-’60s pop group The Wonders never existed outside of That Thing You Do, Tom Hanks’ feature-film directorial debut–but a lot of bands like them sure did. If you’ve seen the movie, I defy you to resist the title song–a perfect pop confection that captures the musical spirit of the era (and the high spirits of the movie) with cleverness and glee. (The deadpan “historical” liner notes are priceless.) The first song, “Lovin’ You Lots and Lots” (written by Hanks himself) is a hilariously awful example of the insipid “grown-up” pop Muzak of the mid-’60s (performed by the Ray Coniff-like “Norm Wooster Singers”), but the element of parody in these tracks is suffused with affection. And, dammit, these are some really catchy toe-tappers! In addition to some other Wonders hits (not the least of which is “Shrimp Shack,” from their first movie appearance in Weekend at Party Pier), there’s also a girl-group single (“Hold My Hand, Hold My Heart” by the Chantrellines); a teen hearbreak anthem (“My World is Over” by Diane Dane); “one of the seminal jazz recordings of 1958” (“Time To Blow,” by Del Paxton) … and much, much more! –Jim Emerson
