The Iconic All Star by Smash Mouth
Let me tell you about one of the coolest songs ever – "All Star" by Smash Mouth. Did you know it wasn't even supposed to be on their album at first? The record company asked for one more song, and boom – magic happened!
The songwriter, Greg Camp, wrote it after getting letters from kids who felt different from others. He wanted to tell them that being unique is awesome! Sadly, Steve Harwell passed away in September 2023, but the song's message lives on.
Have you ever felt like you didn't fit in? This song says that's totally okay.
The song became super famous when it played in Shrek. I bet you've heard it – it's the one that starts with "somebody once told me!"
It even reached #1 on music charts, and now people everywhere love making funny videos with it online.
Eddie Murphy's I'm A Believer Reprise
Speaking of awesome Shrek songs, there's another one that'll make you laugh and dance! Eddie Murphy, who plays the funny donkey in Shrek, sings "I'm A Believer Reprise" – and it's super catchy!
You know what's cool? People everywhere love this song so much that even church choirs are jumping to it!
Here's why this song is extra special:
- It's different from the original version – Eddie Murphy adds his own silly donkey style
- You can find it on SoundCloud and play it anytime you want
- People keep playing it over and over because it's just that fun
- Even grown-ups can't help but smile when they hear it
Have you ever sung along with Donkey? It's like having a dance party with your best friend!
Self's Stay Home: Setting the Mood
When the movie Shrek needed a perfect song to set the mood, they picked "Stay Home" by the band Self! I love how this song found its way onto the amazing Shrek soundtrack that sold over two million copies.
Have you ever noticed how movies use music to make you feel certain ways? This song is like that – it helps tell Shrek's story!
You can find "Stay Home" in different types of files – FLAC, MP3, or WAV – just like picking your favorite flavor of ice cream!
The whole soundtrack has 13 awesome tracks, and this one's special because it's part of what made Shrek so unique.
Remember when animated movies didn't use pop songs? Shrek changed all that, making it super cool!
The track has been streamed and downloaded by fans, earning 14,445 total views on the Internet Archive.
Dana Glover's Romantic It Is You
The magical Shrek soundtrack doesn't just stop at "Stay Home" – it's got another special song that makes hearts flutter! Dana Glover's "It Is You (I Have Loved)" is like a warm hug wrapped in music. I absolutely love how this sweet song found its perfect home in our favorite ogre's story.
Her collaboration with DreamWorks Records helped bring this enchanting song to life.
Here's why this song is extra special:
- Dana wrote it in 2001, the same year Shrek made us all laugh and cry.
- Before singing beautiful songs, Dana was actually a model – that's right, she took pictures for magazines!
- The song appears on the awesome Shrek soundtrack that you can add to your playlist.
- Dana worked with Matthew Wilder, who helps make music sound amazing (like a musical wizard!)

John Cale's Haunting Hallelujah
Musical magic happened one special night in 1988! John Cale, a really cool musician, went to a concert and heard something amazing – a song called "Hallelujah" that almost nobody knew about yet.
You know how sometimes you discover something awesome, like a new flavor of ice cream, and you just have to share it with everyone? That's exactly what John did! He loved the song so much that he recorded his own version.
His special take on "Hallelujah" was kind of like a beautiful, sad lullaby that made people feel all sorts of feelings inside.
Have you ever heard a song that gave you goosebumps? This was one of those! Thanks to John Cale sharing this musical treasure, lots of other singers started making their own versions too.
It's like he found a magical music recipe that everyone wanted to try! His version became famous when it was featured in the hit movie Shrek and introduced millions of people to this incredible song.
The Energetic Best Years by Baha Men
Bursting with sunny island vibes, "Best Years of Our Lives" by the Baha Men brought something super special to the Shrek movie! They mixed traditional Caribbean music called junkanoo (that's fun island music with drums and whistles) with catchy pop sounds that'll make you dance. The upbeat track runs at 130 beats per minute, keeping the energy high throughout.
Want to know why this song is so amazing? Here are some cool things about it:
- It played everywhere – from baseball games to parades!
- The band performed it at the huge Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
