Linger at any karaoke bar worldwide, past the crooning of current hits by Bruno Mars or Beyoncé, and inevitably one will hear a signature keyboard riff. It leads into a high-tenor opening line few singers can hit, though many try: “Just a small-town girl, living in a lonely world / She took the midnight train going anywhere.”

Used by political campaigns and sports teams for decades, the rock ballad “Don’t Stop Believin’” has become the most downloaded track of the twentieth century, according to iTunes. First recorded in 1981 by arena rock band Journey, co-writer Jonathan Cain says the chorus hook came when he was a struggling musician back in the 1970s.

“I was doing poorly in Hollywood and had a lot of rejection,” says Cain. “I was thinking of coming back home to Chicago, and my father said those words to me: ‘Don’t stop believing, Jon.’ I wrote that down in a notebook and brought it with me to San Francisco.”

Interesting. It's kinda funny how musicians say "I don't want to get involved in politics" but rushed to Obama and Clinton's side.
