Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Covers THAT THING YOU DO in Memory of Friend and Musician Adam Schlesinger
We’ve got a fun little musical break for you guys today from Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. He is singing the infectious hit song “That Thing You Do” that was written for the 1996 movie of the same name. The song was written by Fountains of Wayne co-founder Adam Schlesinger, who received an Oscar nomination for the original song, and much praise, as it was a tricky task to create a song that felt like a 1960’s hit, as well as a song that people loved and adored when the movie came out.
Schlesinger was an incredible musician, and Armstrong does the upbeat song some justice. Check out the music video for the song below, and enjoy!
