Thanks. Just added it. Do you know other examples of this trope, where a song by someone was played in a movie, way before he or she earned mainstream success?

In the second Problem Child movie, when Junior and his dad go to Pizzariffic, Walk Away by Alanis Morissette plays. The song was, of course, way different from the kind of music Alanis would eventually be doing (the first two albums she made were in this style).
I think it is very fascinating that they would play a song from someone whose style was very different early on in a movie, having no way of knowing of the kind of mainstream success she would eventually have.
