12 Most Shrek Songs From 'Shrek'
YouTube

The Shrek series by Dreamworks Animation is one of the most popular franchises by them. All four of the movies are pretty good, but one of the best parts of the movies are the soundtracks. Some songs will always be considered “Shrek songs,” and since this is something I believe strongly about I made a list of the most “Shrek songs” from Shrek.

1. "All Star" by Smash Mouth

I know you’re thinking of Shrek running from a mob of angry locals right now.

2. "I'm a Believer" by Smash Mouth

This song will always get stuck in your head after you watch Shrek.

3. "Hallelujah" by John Cale

Some might argue with me on this one, but it's a Shrek song.

4. "Accidentally in Love" by Counting Crows

You will accidentally fall in love with this song just from watching Shrek.

5. "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc.


If Shrek 2 had a theme song it would probably be this one.

6. "Holding Out for a Hero" by Frou Frou (sung by Jennifer Sanders)

We all hate the Fairy Godmother, but she kills this song.

7. "Ever Fallen in Love" by Pete Yorn

If you need a love song that will remind you of everything good in the world, then choose this Shrek song.

8. "Livin' La Vida Loca" by Eddie Murphy & Antonio Banderas

Donkey and Puss in Boots singing "Livin' La Vida Loca" to end a movie? GOLDEN.

9. "Live and Let Die" by Wings

How emotional when you just see the lilypad that Princess Fiona's father once lay upon, and this song plays in the background. Truly cinematic history.

10. "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin

Donkey is a legend.

11. "Shake Your Groove Thing" by Michael Simpson

How can you forget a bunch of ogres dancing, especially the song they're dancing to?

12. "Hello" by Lionel Richie

This song probably gets stuck in your head no matter where you hear it from, but might as well remember it from Shrek.

If you’re anything like me, this made you rewatch Shrek (or all of them). We can thank Dreamworks for all the great movies, but we can thank them more for these great soundtracks. I always love a good Shrek song.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
