It reminds you of a Rod Stewart song because… it’s a Rod Stewart song!
He did it originally. They couldn’t afford the rights to his version for the show so they re-recorded it with a guy who sounds kind of like Rod Stewart.
You might, but it was a Rod Stewart song. It was also originally in the movie Patch Adams before it was in Enterprise. I don’t know why, but I think that’s amusing.
Maybe it’s because, apparently according to my searching, the songwriter also wrote songs for Bryan Adams?
I was wrong about one thing though: it wasn’t on a Stewart album, it was just on the Patch Adams soundtrack album.

I get Brian Adams vibes myself.

OK that would explain it, but AFAIK if you rerecord it, you still need to pay royalties.
They did pay royalties. They just paid less than they would have to pay if they used the original song.
