That Thing You Do! is a revered film that chronicles the journey of a fictional small-town band as they rise to mainstream fame in 1964. Released in 1996, this movie marks the directorial and screenwriting debut of Tom Hanks, who also takes on a prominent role in the film. Alongside Hanks, the cast includes Steve Zahn, Tom Everett Scott, Jonathon Schaech, Ethan Embry, and Liv Tyler. While the cast is impressive, the true standout of That Thing You Do! is undeniably its music.
In movies depicting fictional bands and musicians, the songs often fail to transcend their initial context. However, the title track from That Thing You Do! not only reached the Billboard charts but has also been covered by various artists and bands, ranging from ‘N Sync to Pentatonix to Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. Interestingly, despite its success, the soundtrack of That Thing You Do! had yet to be released on vinyl. Fortunately, Screen Rant is excited to unveil the news that a Mondo vinyl soundtrack for That Thing You Do! is forthcoming.
