Memorable songs running over the final credits

Hoyt Axton episode was good stuff.

 

They're pretty cliche, but the uses of "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" and "Both Sides, Now" at the end of Mad Men episodes were really fantastic.

Also, just personally (because me liking the movie makes me a douchebag), the abrupt ending and Arcade Fire's "Deep Blue" coming in over the credits in "Boyhood" gives it this moment where you lose your bearing and disorients you wonderfully.

 

It didn't play over the credits, and that was the point, but Tomorrow Never Knows at the end of that one episode was perfect.

 

Some world-class talent in this clip. And that song kicks all kinds of ass.

 

Actually it did. It picked up again for the credits, after Don abruptly turned it off and went to the bedroom.

 

OK then. Now I have absolutely no regrets bringing it up in this thread.

 

Beach Boys' "All Summer Long" - American Graffiti

 

Maybe the Beach Boys best, "God Only Knows," playing at the end of "Love, Actually"

(this is where I admit to actually liking the movie, too)

 

"Mr. Sandman" by The Chordettes at the end of "Halloween II (1981)." Given all the mayhem on screen, the bubbly '50s tune was striking.

 

That dynamic has been done to death by now, but I have to imagine in 1981 that was still a pretty fresh approach, wasn't it?

Dr. Strangelove did it with "We Will Meet Again," I guess.

 

Trying to remember was Dylan's "Shelter from the Storm" played over the closing credits in Jerry Maguire or just in that final scene?

 

Although the movie wasn't good, the closing performance of "New Orleans" in Blues Brothers 2 was quite enjoyable.
