Diner is one of my Top Ten Films and In my humble opinion, this is the most "uplifting" scene in the movie (followed closely by Mickey Rourke riding a horse near the end of the movie).
Not according to the song on YouTube & ITunes. It's similar, but it's not the same. Shame too, I've wanted an audio copy of this for yrs, I searched & searched, & it just doesn't seem to exist, neither on the Diner soundtrack or anywhere else.
After checking elsewhere it apparently is a simple rock/blues rift that perhaps whoever was in charge of doing the music for the movie used Cooper's song as a basis for the musicians who recorded the song in '82. Just seems odd it can't be found anywhere other than the actual movie.
@Jokerpofa yes - it does sound a bit like Wiggle Wobble, but also sounds like may have a bit of Wiggle Wobble flip side called "Dig Yourself". It's on youtube, too. Both great songs ~~ I'm a fan of checking out the flip side : )
Agreed, there are better scenes in this movie, though I enjoy watching Tim Daly "playing" the piano.
A male co-worker recommended this movie to me, as it is one of his favorites (We're both Tim Daly fans - he likes his acting, and I like his acting and his body, plus we both like "Wings"), and he said his sisters really liked this movie. I now own it on DVD.

What's the song called?

Except for a few notes that were changed, it's the 1962 instrumental by Les Cooper called "Wiggle Wobble".

P.S. Thanks for posting the video, it appears to be the only way to listen to the song.
