Shrek songs
How do you possibly score a fight between an ogre and a group of knights loyal to the devilishly rambunctious Lord Farquaad? With “ Bad Reputation,” of course. The best part about this song is that Baha Men released a Shrek-themed music video with it, so you can you party while you get some Shrek highlights. “Best Years of Our Lives” brings a great Bahamian groove to Shrek. They may never have had giant commercial success, but the Baha Men can throw a party song together pretty well. That’s right, there’s more to the Baha Men than finding who let the dogs out. This song’s spot on the Shrek soundtrack serves as a tribute to her life. DreamWorks Records ended up canceling the album release, leaving “Like Wow!” as Carter’s only officially released single in her short-lived music career.

Carter was signed to DreamWorks Records and this track was put into the soundtrack to test the market for her full album, set to release after the film. “Like Wow!” is performed by Leslie Carter, the late sister of pop stars Nick and Aaron Carter. The opening line, “I thought love was only true in fairy tales,” is literally Shrek’s plot, so this might as well be the franchise’s official theme song. The band who also performs “All Star” (which we will definitely detail in-depth later on) gives a perfect, early 2000s alt-rock rendition of this song. The Monkees were one of popular music’s most family-friendly bands, so could there really be a better choice? Yes, because this version is performed by Smash Mouth. Written by Neil Diamond and originally recorded by The Monkees, “I’m a Believer” is a perfectly crafted catchy song.

This song is a little more upbeat than he is, but it’s still fitting because this is a family movie after all. A perfect example of Shrek’s personality, “Stay Home” is a song about wanting to stay home and keep to yourself. He doesn’t want to go out and socialize, mostly because he has no other ogre friends and everybody else is trying to kill him, so it’s no surprise that Shrek tends to keep to himself. Here’s why the Shrek soundtrack is so fitting to the film. It’s got a diverse listing from solemn hymns like “Hallelujah” to the grooviest of party jams delivered by Baha Men. Shrek is based on the picture book Shrek! by William Steig, and while that laid the groundwork for the film, the soundtrack elevates it to its brilliance.
