All Star (Shrek)

All Star is a song by the American rock band Smash Mouth from their second studio album, Astro Lounge (1999). Written by Greg Camp and produced by Eric Valentine, the song was released on May 4, 1999, as the first single from Astro Lounge.

This song would later be used in the opening sequence of the 2001 film Shrek. In this sequence, the song plays while Shrek is shown living his day to day, at the same time that some hunters are shown trying to find him to take him prisoner, while all this happens, various elements in Shrek's swamp are forming the names of the main actors of the film.

Being a licensed song, the vast majority of dubs of the film left the song in English unchanged, however, some of the unauthorized dubs of this film translated it in different ways.

Somebody once told me The world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kinda dumb With her finger and her thumb In shape of an "L" on her forehead Well the years start coming And they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense Not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do So much to see, So what's wrong with taking the back street You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now You're an all star Get your game on Go play Hey now You're a rock Star Get the show on Get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold It's a cool place And they say it gets colder You're bundled up now Wait 'til you get older But the media men Beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate Is getting pretty thin The waters getting warm So you might as well swim My world's on fire How about yours That's the way I like it and I never get bored Hey now You're an all star Get your game on Go play Hey now You're a rock star Get the show on Get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold Hey now You're an all star Get your game on Go play Hey now You're a rock star Get the show on Get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold

Like the Azerbaijani version, this dub dubbed all the songs from the film, although it should be noted that in this case, the lyrics of the songs were changed so that they talk about themes related to the film's plot, instead of being literal translations of the original lyrics.
