From the oral history of Boogie Nights (RIP Grantland) about that song

Posted by: Moviesnob on May 31, 15:08 in response to lobogotti's post loved it! also Rushmore - The Who!!

Paul really wanted “Livin’ Thing” as the song at the end of the movie. He was really, really nervous to show the film to Jeff Lynne, but Jeff came down to a screening and Paul was just sort of watching the back of his head while he was watching the movie. Then the film ends and “Livin’ Thing” comes on and Paul just sees both Jeff Lynne’s arms shoot up triumphantly.
