The film, THE KILLING FIELDS closes with that tune and it is a shame because the Khmer Rouge believed that atheist BS and the film depicts the terror they brought.

the KR insurgency gained power and eventually took over. No more rock ‘n’ roll, no more anything. By some estimates as many as three million Cambodians were killed by their own countrymen, a quarter of the country’s population.
Cities were emptied out, “bourgeois” citizens were eliminated (including teachers, writers, or anyone who so much as wore glasses), and the entire country was forced into farm labor in an effort to stamp out “corrupt” influences. Pop records were burned; the KR instead elevated rural folk songs. Former popsters who managed to live through the terror still have a shocked expression on their faces today. As they tell their stories, the film’s music and montage combine for a strong emotional effect, reflecting the guilty sadness of those who lived.
