Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which song is playing on the radio right before Faye first hears "That Thing You Do"?

Answer: Drive Faster

The song ends and the announcer says "That's the Vicksburgs, with 'Drive Faster'." He then introduces The Wonders' song.
2. Which of these was not a band that Scott Pell was previously a part of?

Answer: The Four Tops

Jimmy asks "Who's he played with?" And Mr. White answers, "The Techniques, Roy Maxwell and the Corsairs..." This is before they play the Hollywood Television Showcase. T.B. Player went to the Marines, which is why they need a new bassist.
3. When they are recording in the church, when does Uncle Bob tell Lenny they will get the records?

Answer: Wednesday

Guy asks his Uncle Bob, the producer, "Hey Uncle Bob, when we getting these records?" Uncle Bob says "Luke 21:19." T.B. Player recites the Bible verse. Lenny asks, "Luke? Who's Luke? When are we getting the records?" And Uncle Bob says, "Wednesday."
4. What design is Chrissy Tompkins' dress?

Answer: Polka-dot

While eating in Villapiano's, Faye says "I almost slugged some girl called Chrissy." Guy asks, "Chrissy Tompkins?" Faye says, "Short brown hair-" Lenny interrupts, "Wait, what'd I miss? Who's she?" Guy answers, "Great polka dot dress..."
5. When Guy asks the concierge, Lamar, where he can find some really good jazz, he asks Guy a tough question about jazz. What is the answer?

Answer: Scottie McDonald

Nothing much to say, except that Lamar is testing Guy to see if he really is a big jazz fan.
6. When Mr. White hands the group their first pressings of "That Thing You Do" as an official PlayTone single, which of these does Lenny NOT say about them?

Answer: It's small and flimsy

Lenny jokingly says, "Ooh, it's black. It's got a hole in it, it's got grooves... it's a PlayTone record!" As if all records weren't like that.
7. Fill in the blank: When The Wonders are in the dressing room after playing in Wisconsin, Mr. White tells them, "As of tomorrow morning, you Wonders, you've got the Number ____ record in the country."

Answer: 7

According to the liner notes that come with the movie soundtrack album, "That Thing You Do" supposedly peaked at No. 2 in the U.S. singles chart. I say supposedly, because this is a fictional story set during 1964.
8. At the Illinois state fair, a man is interviewing The Wonders. When he asks Jimmy to "tell me about this latest record," they are standing behind a large replica of something. What is it a replica of?

Answer: A camera

There's nothing much to say. It's simply a large camera, like the kind to take still photographs, not a TV camera.
9. At which position does "That Thing You Do" enter the Billboard singles chart?

Answer: 93

When The Wonders get off the bus, Mr. White hands them a copy of Billboard Magazine and before he walks away, says, "Look at number ninety-three."
10. In the dressing room, T.B. Player tells Mr. White he signed up for the U.S. Marine Corps. He says he has to report to _________ (a state) at the end of August. To what state does he have to report?

12. Why does Mr. Patterson tell his wife "Put that paper away. Let's get it out of here," after looking at the Tele-mart ad?

Answer: Tele-mart is open on Sundays

In one scene in Patterson's Appliances store, Mr. Patterson looks at the paper and says, "'Open on Sunday from twelve to six.' You know, I don't believe I want to live in a country where you have to stay open on Sunday to do business. You shouldn't have to work on Sunday to support a family."

Answer: Turn off the lights

Near the beginning of the movie, Guy gets a call from his dad after dad left the store and says, "What are the lights still doing on? The sign, Guy the sign is still on. Are we open for business all night now?" Later, the dad is seen driving back to the store at night to turn the lights off.

Patterson's Appliances and the opening scenes were filmed at the Orange Circle in Orange County, California.
15. What does Mr. White say the state fairs are, before telling them about their TV appearance?
