  • That Thing You Do That Thing You Do
    That Thing You Do 1. The scene in the movie when they first hear their song on the radio demonstrates beautifully the importance of radio airplay in making artists popular during that era. What sort of role does radio play in music today? How do non-radio musical outlets of today compare to those of yesteryear (P2P networks, Internet radio, podcasts, etc.). Are they better or worse? 2. By the early 1960s music was being mass produced for the widest ranging audience possible by ”hit factory” song writers or “cubicle” artists whose full time job, 9-5, was to make hit songs. The Beatles helped to change this and establish the trend of rock acts writing and performing their own music. As an artist of this new era, Jimmy, the lead singer/songwriter of the Oneders, is hesitant to sign a contract or involve money as it relates to his music. Why do you think he hesitates? What do you think the effect of money is on the music and the artist? What about on the artists themselves? Can money and musical success ever be separated? 3. How important is “image” in the commercialization of rock? Consider how Mr. White (Tom Hanks) crafts theirs. What is he trying to convey to the general public? Does the artist make the image or does the image make the artist? 4. Think about some examples of commercialism in music today. Has it changed since the 50s and 60s? Do you think artists are keeping more or less of their money? Has “the man” figured out new and/or better ways of making money off of musicians? 5.
