...songs on That Thing You Do! are faithful parodies: tight, with short verses and catchy tunes. Listen to Hanks describe the That Thing You Do! title tune, written by 28-year-old Adam Schlesinger: "There's a driving rhythm, and as it goes into the second chorus the entire crowd picks up on the beat. The singer steps back from the mike, the guitarist goes into a stumbling yet evocative solo, then it ends with a soul-satisfying bomp-bomp-bomp Waaaaangtwiddlelip!"

In a year of reunions by such aging former stadium fillers as the Sex Pistols, Kiss and the Who, it's only right that the Monkees, the one band to start in TV and then go to the recording studio, should be back. Sure enough, Justus, the very first album written, performed and produced entirely by the Monkees, will be out in October. Why would a bunch of fiftysomethings go back to the studio when they're getting six-figure royalties from their early work? "I don't know," says MIKE NESMITH...
