I needed confirmation that Sh-Boom by The Chords was actually the song over the end credits as I was preparing to leave a showing of Don't Worry Darling. Tunefind lists the song but has no scene descriptions for the movie. However, I have found a new website called soundtracki.com and it confirms that as well as thirteen seconds early in the film, it also has one minute and fifty eight seconds as the second credits song (the first being Peggy Lee's Where or When. I have an LP of hers but The Chords are new to me. Even though I knew this 1954 song so well.)
Sh-Boom is quite appropriate for the film's ending as I actually thought it was called "Life Could Be A Dream" which I find is an alternative title that says it all. So Tunefind is no longer my point of reference for film music. I will post later about the full soundtrack to Don't Worry Darling, filled as it is by mostly songs from the fifties. (Right up my street).Thank goodness only one from Harry Styles. Sorry to that band of teenage girls who probably were there for more. But they did see him dance. I found it as embarrassing as it was probably meant to be.
A note on 1941's Where or When. Tunefind tells us that is by The Benny Goodman Trio, but that is because we first hear two seconds of instrumental early in the film. So they miss the end credits where one minute and fifty five seconds (according to soundtracki.com) brings in Peggy Lee for the vocal.
