The song is performed by the fictional 1960s band The Wonders, who are the focus of the film . </P> <P> In 1964, an Erie, Pennsylvania band named "The One - ders" (later known as The Wonders) goes from a college talent show to climbing up the Billboard charts thanks to the song "That Thing You Do". Written by guitarist / vocalist Jimmy Mattingly II, it was originally crafted as a ballad . During the performance at the talent show, drummer Guy Patterson produces a much more up - tempo beat and the rest of the band follow suit, turning the song into an upbeat, Beatles-esque rock number . The song is a hit with the audience, and they win the talent show . From there, the band is picked up by a local manager who helps them get more shows in the area, and eventually the song receives radio airplay . The band is then signed to Play - Tone Records, under Mr. White's guidance, and the song climbs up the Billboard Hot 100, starting at #93, then #71, #49, and #21 . The following week, "That Thing You Do" climbs to #7, becoming the quickest charting song ever on Play - Tone Records . However, Jimmy walks out on the band before they can produce another record, so they eventually become one - hit wonders . </P>
