Don't Worry Darling - The Soundtrack

 

I am indebted to the website soundtracki.com for the following list of songs from the movie Don't Worry Darling. The trouble with tunefind.com is that there are some songs played twice in the movie that only get one mention on their listing whereas soundtracki not only describes the scene from the film (which tunefind does not) but when the track appears twice we are told where in both cases. For example Peggy Lee sings "Where or When" for two seconds in the film and one minute and fifty five seconds as the first end credits song.

However, soundtracki splits their list between songs on the official album and those that are not. I have tried to consolidate these into one definitive list, but because there are two lists there is some difficulty finding the right order in which they appear in the film. Scene descriptions etc are all on the soundtracki website.

The Right Time by Ray Charles (or Night Time is the Right Time as the song is listed twice on soundtracki)

Bang Bang by Dizzy Gillespie

Where or When by Peggy Lee and  the Benny Goodman Trio

Comin’ Home Baby by Mel Tormé

Oogum Boogum Song by Brenton Wood

You Belong to Me by Jo Stafford

5-10-15 Hours by Ruth Brown

Tears on My Pillow by Little Anthony & The Imperials

Twilight Time by The Platters

Sh-Boom by The Chords

Who's Sorry Now by Connie Francis

To Know Him is to Love Him by The Teddy Bears

Little Girl Don't You Understand by Bobby Freeman

The End of the World by Skeeter Davis

Need Your Love So Bad  by Little Willie John

Sleep Walk by Santo & Johnny 

Sleep Walk by Konye Global 

You Belong To Me by Helen Foster and the Rovers

Poor Little Fool by Ricky Nelson

Sing Sing Sing by James Horner

Purple Wall by Red Prisock

Mambo Boogie by Johnny Otis

Desafinado by Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd

You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To by Ruth Brown

The End of the World by Skeeter Davis

Someone To Watch Over Me by Ella Fitzgerald

So I'm not at all sure if these tracks are in exactly the right order. I might have missed a couple of instrumentals, and even soundtracki have a few songs listed without a scene description. But this is the best I can do.

What made the film for me were the tracks from my youth, particularly Connie Francis, The Platters, Ricky Nelson, Skeeter Davis and of course, Ella. And others that were familiar even not knowing the artist.
