Watching TV one evening, a movie trailor came on for this new upcoming movie that starred Tom Hanks.  Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors so of course this movie sparked my interest.  I was a senior in High School at the time and I told my boyfriend Ron, who is now my husband, that we need to go see this movie since it appeared to be musical.

Being musicians ourselves we had to see this movie.  It was called "That Thing You Do".  It was about this amateur band that ends up hitting it big then falling apart at the end.  One hit wonders as they are called.

The theme song that thing you do was the biggest hit of the movie.  I absolutely loved the movie and couldn't get enough of the theme song.  As soon as the movie soundtrack was made available, I was on it.  Shortly after the movie was released in theatres you could hear the theme song everywhere you went.  I am not sure if the movie made it big but I remember the song was a big deal.

All of the songs on the movie soundtrack are from the movie and they are all awesome and just a really fun CD to listen to.  I tend to watch the movie from time to time since it is truly an awesome memory!
