But that's precisely the point - in 1997, Jessie's Girl was totally unpopular and worked well. If Boogie Nights was a 2007 movie, using that song now, when it's been covered a couple of times, the song is more popular because of the 80s revival, etc., it wouldn't have come out of left field so well. That's my point about Don't Stop Believin' - it may have nothing to do with why it was chosen, but that song doesn't work as well, IMO, because it's no longer unpopular and ridiculed (as much). When you've been beaten to the punch by Family Guy, it loses its edge. That's all I'm saying.
