In the film "That Thing You Do" is written and first performed in 1964 by Erie, Pennsylvania-based band The Oneders (meant to be a homophone of "Wonders", but pronounced "Oh-nee-ders" by nearly everyone). Written by guitarist/vocalist Jimmy Mattingly II (though lead guitarist Lenny Haise claims co-authorship), it is originally crafted as a ballad, but during its first live performance at a local talent show, newly-recruited drummer Guy Patterson produces a much more up-tempo beat, turning the song from a ballad into an upbeat, Beatles-esque pop-rock number.

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
A soundtrack is a recorded audio signal accompanying and synchronised to the images of a book, drama, motion picture, radio program, television program, or video game; colloquially, a commercially released soundtrack album of music as featured in the soundtrack of a film, video, or television presentation; or the physical area of a film that contains the synchronised recorded sound. In movie industry terminology usage, a sound track is an audio recording created or used in film production or post-production. Initially, the dialogue, sound effects, and music in a film each has its own separate track, and these are mixed together to make what is called the ''composite track,'' which is heard in the film. A ''dubbing track'' is often later created when films are dubbed into another language. This is also known as an M&E (music and effects) track. M&E tracks contain all sound elements minus dialogue, which is then supplied by the foreign distributor in the native language of its ...
