Smash Mouth "All Star"
My childhood was not complete without the classic animated film Shrek. Who can forget everyone's surprisingly loveable ogre and his donkey friend as they go on a quest to save a princess for the king, only to find out she turns into an ogre at night. It went on to win Academy Awards and be etched as the beginning of one of the best animated film series in my opinion. The soundtrack was nominated for a Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, and featured a few fairly well known songs, including Smash Mouth's hit "All Star." Smash Mouth also recorded "I'm A Believer," a song originally performed by Neil Diamond. It peaked at #28 on the Billboard 200, and reached #2 on Billboard's soundtrack chart. While "All Star" was released 2 years before the film and had most of its chart success during that time, it is just as often remembered as a pairing to Shrek. Some would even describe it as a kind of theme song for the main character himself. I would like to think most of you enjoyed the film as much as I did, and will take some time to be an "All Star" today.
