It shows up on multiple Pandora stations that I listen to fairly regularly. Today my Zoe Keating station played me a different cover of it by Alex Parks (youtube-link), so I googled it to see who the original

Yup, Jules (and his partner) made it re-famous it looks like. It was, in fact, on said soundtrack.
