Feb 15, 2012 - I loved The Knack, I also loved the Tom Hank's movie, now I see why this song was so familiar in the movie

Feb 20, 2012 - can we limit this to a civil discussion, please?

StSunrider Says:

Feb 20, 2012 - The song was in the movie first, though... this song is a sort of homage to all of the bubblegum-rock of the 60's starting with the Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and onto Tommy James and the Shondells, the Archies, and many others. So if it seemed familiar in the movie, it was it was supposed to. Others have covered the thing as well,

tracysrocket Says:

Feb 20, 2012 - I think the tune, the style, as done by the Wonders, was familiar to me because of The Knack, not because of 60s music. Obviously, it came way after Get The Knack, but NOW I know why I bought the soundtrack to the movie later on - I just made the connection.
