'Glee' Actor Hopes Cast Didn't 'Crap On' Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin''

It might have been the pilot episode of the smash series but performing 'Don't Stop Believin'' is still the high point and a "dream come true" for 'Glee' actor Cory Monteith. "It's just such an iconic song," Monteith tells PopEater. "It's such an anthem. Everyone knows it. Everyone has heard it. It's much more than a nice tune. The song speaks a lot to everyone kind of finding their own place, and searching for somewhere in the night. Just like the lyrics."
Monteith took time off from video game worship at the Maxim and Ubisoft Launch of 'Assassin's Creed 2' in Los Angeles to pay tribute to the kings of anthem rock who originally performed the song: Journey.
He said the song was perfect for 'Glee,' which is filled with "underdogs and people finding their niche." On the downside, the rights to use the song did not come with any instructions or advice. "We received nothing in terms of that," laughs Monteith. "Just don't crap on it. I think was the general plan."
