The British Doo-Wop revivalists, Darts, recorded "Sh-Boom" in the late 1970s, this time at a slower tempo. Their 1979 Crew-Cuts-style arrangement was so popular that the group began performing "Sh-Boom" as their signature song at all their concerts, bringing all their alumni onstage to perform it across the United States and through 10 world tours. The record for most recordings of "Sh-Boom" by a single group probably belongs to the Harvard Din & Tonics, an a cappella men's singing group that has featured the song on 12 of their 13 albums. It was released by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number B 10698. A recording by Ken Mackintosh and His Orchestra (vocalists: the Mackpies) was made in London on April 7, 1954. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, with orchestra directed by Jack Pleis.

On the Cash Box magazine best-selling record charts, where both versions were combined, the song reached No. The Crew-Cuts performed the song on Ed Sullivan's Toast of the Town on December 12, 1954.

The song was first recorded on Atlantic Records' subsidiary label Cat Records by the Chords on March 15, 1954, and would be their only hit song.
