A scene from That Thing You Do! 1996
Faye

[the band's thinking of their name]

But I thought you already decided on The Echoes.

Jimmy

Nah, some band in Buffalo's the Echoes. And I wasn't wild about that.

Lenny

Let's just call us The - Band You're About To Hear.

Chad

How about The Corvettes?

Jimmy

Is that The Corvettes, or the Chordvettes?

Chad

No, Corvettes, like the car.

Jimmy

Well see, I was thinking like the Chord...[writes Chordvettes] Chordvettes, like chords in our music.

Lenny

[Guy walks in]

Is that "Skitch" Patterson?

Chad

Here he is, Erie's lone beatnik.

The Bass Player

How about the Tempos? Ya know, tempos?

Lenny

Not the Tempos, the Tempos. I was in a band already called The Tempos, and we were... terrible.

Chad

Hey Guy, weren't you the drummer for the Tempos?

Guy

Heard that.
