The Dubbing Database

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 did it differently.

Singers: Smash Mouth (Steve Harwell)
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 water's 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

(Go for the moon)
(Go for the moon)

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

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
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,

And all that glitters is gold

Despite the fact that this dub of the film is a voice-over, this and the other songs in the film were properly dubbed, this version also talks about themes related to the film's plot.

bir həmişe ac olur, o yeməktən doymur
çox böyük iştahı var onun
səhər üç inək yesər də bu onu doydurabilməz
o yeyir yüz dənə qoyun
‍
???
???
???
??? bugün az yeyip
əlli qaban, əlli keçi, əlli dənədən ???
onu doydurabilmədi
o həmçinin qoç də yedi
‍
evlər titrəyir, izlənir insanlar
yerlər axtarırlar, özünlə heyvanlar
əh bax gidip gəlir
meşədə hami gizlənir
‍
ey bəcərdi, amma çox güclüdür
iri gözləri var, bədəni də tütlüdür
əqər qaranlıxta onu görsən, 
dayanan qedər qorxudan öleceksən
‍
bu meşədə dibin evi var
bütün heyvanlar o yerdən qorxurlar
uzaqtan genə səs gəlir
inşaatlan ??? yeməǧə gəlir
‍
evlər titrəyir, izlənir insanlar
yerlər axtarırlar, özünlə heyvanlar
əh bax gidip gəlir
meşədə hami gizlənir
‍
evlər titrəyir, izlənir insanlar
yerlər axtarırlar, özünlə heyvanlar
əh bax gidip gəlir
meşədə hami gizlənir

he is always hungry, he is not satisfied with food
he has a very big appetite
Even if he eats three cows in the morning, it will not satisfy him
he eats a hundred sheep
‍
???
???
???
??? eat less today
fifty boars, fifty goats, fifty cows ???
could not satisfy him
he also ate ram
‍
houses are shaking, people are being watched
looking for places, animals with you
Oh look, it's coming
everyone is hiding in the forest
‍
he is ugly, but he is very strong
he has big eyes and a plump body
if you see him in the dark
you will die of fear until you stop
‍
in this forest is the bottom house
all the animals are afraid of that place
there is a voice from far away
are you building??? he comes to eat
‍
houses are shaking, people are being watched
looking for places, animals with you
Oh look, it's coming
everyone is hiding in the forest
‍
houses are shaking, people are being watched
looking for places, animals with you
Oh look, it's coming
everyone is hiding in the forest

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. This dub of the song also features an original instrumental.

Shocking creature unattractive appearance 
Evil scary to watch 
But he's proud of his image and he's not ashamed of his appearance 
The presence of this satisfaction 
Outward appearance is not the judgement 
Human nature is the true measure 
Don't be caught up in your creation 
It's your work that makes you human 
The image your parents bestowed upon you 
The Creator's destiny 
Unique your identifier 
Appearance is not the judge 
Human nature is the true measure 
Focus on your work 
You will succeed one day 
People hate you and abuse you a lot 
Don't give up, keep going 
Don't give them an ear 
You will succeed one day 
Appearance is not the judge 
Human nature is the true measure 
Focus on your work 
You will succeed one day 
Shocking creature unattractive appearance 
Evil scary to watch 
But he's proud of his image and he's not ashamed of his appearance 
The presence of this satisfaction 
Outward appearance is not the judgement 
Human nature is the true measure 
Don't be caught up in your creation

Мени чексиз къралымда
Кёб ариу джер барды.
Ненча тенгиз, къаллай бир тюз,
Тамаша шахар да.

Эм ариу джер, деб излесенг,
Кел, къучакъны джай да,
Таурухха ушаш джер кёрсенг,
Ол джер Къарачайды.

Эм ариу джер, деб излесенг,
Кел, къучакъны джай да,
Таурухха ушаш джер кёрсенг,
Ол джер Къарачайды.

Кел, кел, тегим. Тенглик бла
Келе эсенг, тенгсе,
Джарыкъ миллет излей эсенг,
Тамам тюз келгенсе.

Эм ариу джер, деб излесенг,
Кел, къучакъны джай да,
Таурухха ушаш джер кёрсенг,
Ол джер Къарачайды.

Эм ариу джер, деб излесенг,
Кел, къучакъны джай да,
Таурухха ушаш джер кёрсенг,
Ол джер Къарачайды.

Эркелетир, къууандырыр,
Болур къонакъбай да,
Кел, кел, тенгим, ол миллетни
Аты Къарачайды.

Эм ариу джер, деб излесенг,
Кел, къучакъны джай да,
Таурухха ушаш джер кёрсенг,
Ол джер Къарачайды.
