All Star was released by Smash Mouth in 1999 and became widely known after opening the 2001 film Shrek, where it plays over Shrek's morning routine. The song's upbeat sound and memorable opening lines made it a lasting piece of internet culture, reused in countless memes, remixes and edits long after the film's release. Its connection to Shrek keeps it instantly recognisable, and creators still use the short opening to signal confidence, nostalgia and playful exaggeration in videos today.
À propos de ce son
The opening of Smash Mouth's All Star from Shrek (2001), with its famous guitar intro. Creators use it for confident entrances, memes and nostalgic edits.
This clip captures the instantly recognisable opening of Smash Mouth's 'All Star' as heard at the start of Shrek, driven by a bright electric guitar riff, steady drums and the opening vocal line. The sound feels upbeat, confident and slightly cheeky, instantly putting listeners in a good mood and signalling that something fun or over-the-top is about to happen. Because the song is so closely tied to Shrek's mud-bath introduction, it carries a strong wave of early-2000s nostalgia, making even a short edit feel bigger, bolder and funnier than the footage alone would suggest.
