apparently it's a painting by someone called helnwein. you can see it online:

"Dream as if you'll live forever...Live as if you'll die today". Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean & Humphrey Bogart share their common tales in this classic Diner scene painted by Helnwein

it looks more like a poster than a painting

That must be the take off of Hopper's "Night Hawks at the Diner." Basing a trivia question about a song based on an imitation of a painting is like saying Kenny Roger's "The Gambler" is based on "Dogs Playing Poker"!
