ITWAN went from 38 to 23 on the Hot Rock chart this week and from 20 to 18 on Adult Pop.

This makes me so happy 😍

This cover was pretty great. I've never heard of that song before yesterday.
I love the nostalgia in this clip.

I do too, but you didn't answer my question.   

 

 

Are you being serious?

The song is called "I think we're alone now". I answered your question. I'm not being funny or trying to be a smart ass. The video is literally on the first page of this thread. It's been charting for 2 or 3 weeks already and Montclare has been posting the charting results in this thread for it.

The movie that this song came from is great! Movie is also called That Thing You Do. I recommend watching it. It should be available on most rental streaming services (amazon, apple).

It's called "That Thing You Do." It's from 1996, I believe.

That Thing You Do is the title of the movie as well as the song. It’s about a fictional Beatles type band. Similar idea to These Paper Bullets (only not based on a Shakespeare play)

I was kidding, lol.   

Sounds like my kind of film, I just might check it out.   

I just finished listening to Fountains of Wayne and they are my #189 favorite band out of 230.    

My favorite tracks are "Hey Julie",   "Stacy's Mom",  "Hung up on You" and "Mexican Wine".

When watching the movie get the extended cut not the theater version 

[That Dude]

I wonder if every one of these will be covers.  

It would be cool if Billie pulled out something we've never heard before.   A demo, unreleased song.  Maybe if he's in the mood, improvise something on the spot.   

That last option would be cool because we could see the song evolve to it's final form.   

 

Heck, for us hardcore fans It would be cool to see a live stream of Billie in the studio working on things.

"What thing you do" the best and more Greendayish song of #nofunmondays... possible colaboration of Tre and Mike??

[michael1989]

That Thing You Do sounds the most Longshot'y of the covers released so far. Could have fit seamlessly into that record.

My rankings:

1. Manic Monday

2. That Thing You Do

3. I Think We're Alone Now

4. You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

5. Corpus Christi

[Little Boy Named Booze]

I think we're alone now is still my favorite by far!

That’s because Billie and Adam Schlesinger both had the same homework assignment — to write songs for a fictional Beatles band — and they both did very well.

I agree with your ranking too

I would love a no fun Monday acoustic version of a green Day song they don't usually do acoustically.... So no good riddance, bobd etc.... 

 

 

[Satchel]

I would love to see Billie have a go at The La's There She Goes

[That Dude]

Acoustic version of Right Hand-o-Rama.   PLEASE.

Anybody else feeling confused by feeling like you’re looking forward to mondays? That’s new for me.

Very true, and it’s about the only thing helping me keep track of the days!

Exactly!  It’s like time doesn’t exist, then BJA releases another song and I’m like “so that’s another week”

[Little Boy Named Booze]

I still hate Monday but yes Billie made it a little bit brighter. I'm exactly like Garfield except I don't live with Jon.

Today I was actually thinking...”2 more days”. But I had to look at a calendar first.

Listening to a bunch of old punk rock and thinking Billie should cover "Who let the Dogs Out?" by the Baha Men.
