The Wonders music on That Thing You Do - I love them!

Well, what can I say, I bought this CD because I really love all the music I heard from the movie. I am only on my thirties but I don’t know, I’m really hooked on this film and its music. You know what, the film almost convinced me that there really is a band in the past called the The Wonders because I really liked their songs. First is the opening song in the movie I Love You Lots and Lots which repeatedly rings on my head when I remember the beginning of the story, very christmasy if there’s really a term for that. My favorite of course is That Thing You Do, I even love this song better than the Beatles song, always makes me feel to dance those bebop steps while I listen to it and reminds me of Liv Tyler as she watches her love interest, feels sad about her that the boy was actually fooling her. Dance With Me Tonight really has that oomph whenever I hear it and makes me a real fan of this era. All My Only Dreams is a very sweet love song really. Mr. Downtown is very catchy and reminds me of Tom Jones very much but of course, this is by another singer. My World Is Over is more lovely to hear completely than the brief ones when you watch the movie. The piano piece by Del Paxton is amazing and makes me flick my head while I listen to it. I’m not much of a piano listening person but I like this one. If you like That Thing You Do because of what you heard and you’d like to remember the movie, then you should never pass on this one.
