Semisonic - Closing Time. I always thought that song was about leaving the bar at closing with someone. It's actually about him having his first child. There's a youtube video on it. It made me cry. When I turned 18 I was a bartender at the local bar, the guy I worked with was a 40 year old man. He would sing this every night at closing time to shop everyone out. My favorite part of the night. “Can I get one more drink?” 🎶”You don’t have to go home but YOU CANT STAY HEREEEE”🎶 Many, many bars have used this for last call. At the bar where I worked in college, the regular DJ's last call song was "Friends in Low Places" and I can't hear it without thinking of anything else. Most of the staff would sing at the top of our lungs, we were so excited to go home. |

Yes! In high school, me and one of my girlfriends had the whole movie memorized. We were so cool. Did we go to high school together BECAUSE SAME. Maybe we’re BFFs. I don't think you're from WI, but maybe we're meant to be BFFs. |

sterling, don’t worry, I got the joke immediately. Jimmy was a grade A douche but would still do.

I’ve seen That Thing You Do more times than probably any other movie. Because it’s the perfect film. |

I have no idea - the only other song I remember off the soundtrack besides the obvious one was that Hold my Hand, Hold my Heart song that the girl group sang in the movie. Lol. IT WAS AN INSIDE JOKE FROM THE FILM. Where is brewcitygal? I've got your back, sterling and just had a good chuckle. |

That Thing You Do is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. I cannot hear that song without blasting it. So freakin good.

I think I have to go with Tainted Love by soft cell as one of the best.

From that list - definitely "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison. What a great song. I was coming here to say this. So good! |

Well this thread made me find my giant CD binder from high school/college. I have never used the CD player in my car and that ends TODAY!

On the radio this morning they were talking about this and the band who sang that song "oh sugar sugar" in the 60's was apparently a OHW. The dj's were like "Look at them, standing there all cute in their suits, thinking they're the next Monkees..."

The Freshman holds a very dear dear spot in my heart. I am now jamming to many OHW, it's a great way to start the day!

rachydc , and chickie , I loved the OC soundtracks and was a Rooney fan before (not long before) they were on the show. I was so excited to see them there! I think one or more of the band members was cousins w/ Jason Schwartzman
ETA: MH (the boy/f) managed a music store & would give me the promo copies of the OC soundtracks (I did not purchase them). |

Forgot about Tubthumping.
That was always a fun drinking song to sing when you were wasted. Also, who doesn't love musical anarchists?

We sang the entire soundtrack in High School Choir for the spring concert. Including that hit song Alone in my Principles? I love this comment so much, but can only hit "Like" once. Amazing. |
