Factual error: Several times during the film a Zildjian stencil logo can be seen on the bottom of a cymbal. Zildjian did not start applying logos until the 1970s.

More mistakes in That Thing You Do
Faye: I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you - kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I used to think that was the real you, when you smiled. But now I know you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.
Trivia: Throughout the entire movie, no one ever says the bass player's name. Even in the credits, he is listed as T.B. Player and The Bass Player.
Question: Who played the blonde "Miss Talent Show" meter girl, who hands the band the trophy near the beginning of the movie?
Answer: Rita Wilson.
No, it isn't. Rita Wilson plays Marguerite, the waitress at The Blue Spot jazz club.
Fair enough, that answer will be deleted.
