Possibility 1: it's signal bleed from Earth.

Possibility 2, borne out by. . . somebody's blog I read months ago: coincidence. The Colonies had a thriving arts scene, it's not out of the realm of possibility that some Colonial musician recorded a song that happens to mimic one from Earth.

FWIW, the actual song played was recorded specifically for the episode, so it's not an actual radio edit (it'll be on the S3 soundtrack CD).

I thought possibility two was already known as the definitive answer. Wasn't that what was said on Bear's blog?

Also regarding the song, I didn't recognize it (can you believe I've never heard that song?) and actually felt it almost ruined the finale. It made the end feel very cheesy (sounded too poppy).

I'd never heard it either, but I've been exposed to enough "in-universe" sci-fi/fantasy music to just go with it (my playlist has tracks from Lynn-Minmei [both English and Japanese], Janice Em, Lancer/Yellow Dancer, Wreck-55, Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, Sy Snootle, Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. . .).

(Wreck-55 from W.I.T.C.H. is kinda my favourite. They got VAs who can actually sing.)

("The Demon in Me")

(The actual song kicks in around 1:00 --Matt is possessed by a demon named Shagon, and Shagon has to back off before Matt can play.)

("The Will to Love")

I'll need to watch the finale again soon to see how I feel about it now. During my first viewing of it, I actually thought they'd taken some crap pop song from the radio (irl) and decided to play it at the end. Maybe now that I know in what spirit it was included I can not be bothered by it so much.
