...personally, I prefer the Family Guy version:

...as the article explains, the real the reason the song is so popular now is that it was used in the finale to The Sopranos (spoiler, of course):

...again I have alternative preference, the version HBO didn't want you to see - the director's cut (once again, spoiler):

For those of you who fancy a good sing-a-long:

'Don't Stop Believing'

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

(chorus)

Dont stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
