Tom Hanks and producer Jonathan Demme loved what Adam Schlesinger wrote for That Thing You Do! and it became the theme song, which was later nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Original Song.
Tom Hanks wrote and directed That Thing You Do! about a fictional band called The Wonders.
Tom Everett Scott, Johnathon Schaech, and Ethan Embry reunited as The Wonders back in 2017 to perform “That Thing You Do!” at the Goddamn Comedy Jam with Bill Burr.
Additionally, they are paying tribute to the late Fountains of Wayne front man Adam Schlesinger, who wrote the iconic “That Thing You Do!” theme song.
