The Wonders' One Hit
A YouTuber called Cowbananas assembled scenes from That Thing You Do to the full title tune that show highlights of the Wonders' rocket journey from a college talent show to recording this song in a church, to going on tour with the Playtone Records "galaxy of stars" in the mid-1960s, as this song shot up the charts. It's such a great infectious tune--keeping it in my head is this week's coping mechanism. (Previous videos from this Tom Hanks movie here and here.)
