It took me a little time to get this, then it reminded me of something I never really got from the film That Thing You Do.

Does "1" actually sound like "wun" to American ears? As in with a "u" vowel, not an "o" vowel?

I'm English, so "Won" rhymes with "un". "One" rhymes with "on".

Yeah, we say it like "wunn" here in America. Both one and won are pronounced the same.
