Music
The original film score was composed by the director's father, Carmine Coppola; the main theme, "Stay Gold", was sung by Stevie Wonder. The original soundtrack included one rock song, Them's "Gloria".
The re-release removed much of Coppola's score, replacing it with songs from the 1950s and 1960s, including:
- "Real Wild Child" - Jerry Lee Lewis
- "Out of Limits" - The Marketts
- "Tomorrow is a Long Time" - Elvis Presley
- "Mystery Train" - Elvis Presley
- "We're Gonna Move" - Elvis Presley
- "Lend Me Your Comb" - Carl Perkins
- "Milky White Way" - Elvis Presley
- "Teen Beat" - The Ventures
