We end up the Shrek Series Edition with the best song (in my opinion) in “Shrek Forever After” (2010). It is still Pride Month to sing this out loud for “Love is Love”. Darling, I do!
Fun fact : I haven’t noticed this song until I watched the moviefor the sixth or seventh time. I guess I didn’t pay much attention the first times? … more focused on the storyline and the jokes. In my defense, it plays just for few seconds, highlighting the Shrek and Fiona “falling in love again” … just perfect! And now, I love it, my favorite song, favorite love song, favorite duet, my favorite everything! And, I would definitely play it on my wedding!
The movie.
The gang is back for a last ride (or not?). Mike Meyer, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz are exploring the “what if” storyline … Princess Fiona is a badass warrior, and Puss in boots is so fluffy, Donkey … is still the same! Always a delight to watch with their jokes and references of the previous series. The soundtrack is, of course, superb!
Golden leaves looked brown to me, The world had less color without you Shapes in the sky, looked plain to my eye, The world had less color without you
I know pleny’ of people with eyes closed They don’t see you like I do Darling I do
Notes on the keys, meant nothing to me The world didn’t sing without you Birds in the trees fell silent for me The world didn’t sing without you Without you
I know pleny’ of people with eyes closed They don’t see you like I do Darling I do, darling I do see you
I know pleny’ of people with eyes closed They don’t see you like I I know pleny’ of people with eyes closed They don’t see you like I know
Pleny’ of people with eyes closed They don’t see you like I do Darling I do, darling I do, darling I do,I do, Darling I do, darling I do, see you (mmmmmmmmm mmmmmm)
We all have bad days, and most of our Mondays are bad days. So, let’s add a happy beat to make it a bearable bad day. “Royal Pain” by Eels
Shrek The Third (2007) – Get yourself a king! I do like the storyline in this movie. It is about finding yourself, change your fate and accepting your role … a very soul searching adventure.
The cast : Mike Meyer, Eddie murphy and Cameron Diaz came back under a new direction of co-directors Chris Miller and Remain Hui. We see the evolution of characters, their new storyline. But, we still have the comedy, jokes and reference along the way.
The soundtrack is perfectly supporting every scene : from super depressing “9 crimes” by Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan to super happy “Losing streak” by Eels, hyping the action scenes up : “Barracuda” by Fergie or “Immigration song” by Led Zeppelin, and a wink to “Live and let die” by Paul McCartney & The Wings for the drama effect.
I wish you good day, a good week with our Vibe of The Week !
Until next time !
I got some sleep and I needed it Not a lot just a little bit Someone’s always trying to keep me from it
It’s a crying shame It’s a royal pain in the neck I’m just trying to get by With my pride a little bit intact
Ask me any question and I’ll level with you (I’m with you) I didn’t ask for anything but being with you That’s the only thing I was born to do
And they’re all insane Such a royal pain in the neck I’m just trying to get by With my pride a little bit intact
Another day is put to the test Lord knows I’m doing my best (Do your best) Never a brother, always a guest
It’s a crying shame It’s a royal pain in the neck I’m just trying to get by With my pride a little bit intact
And they’re all insane Such a royal pain in the neck I’m just trying to get by With my pride just a little bit intact
Let’s continue with my favorite songs in Shrek Series movies – “Shrek 2” 2004 – . This is a no brainer!
“Shrek 2” 2004 starts with a happy song : Shrek and Fiona are on honey moon! The love montage is adorable. The found true love in each other . Also, this is my to-go song karaoke … after Bohemian Rhapsody !
The same crew (Writer and Director : Andrew Adamson) and cast (Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz) came back with some additional big names : Antonio Banderas, John Cleese, and Julie Andrews . It looks like they made this movie to be able to put every jokes and references they couldn’t fit in the first movie. Hence, the vibe of this second installment is more relax, it has more jokes and many culture references.
This is a great song for the Pride Month, Love is love!! That is why it is our Vibe of the Week!
PS :First Line is on hold for the while, life is not very kind with my time and inspiration these days, I need more Vibe Song!
So she said what’s the problem baby What’s the problem I don’t know Well maybe I’m in love (love) Think about it every time I think about it Can’t stop thinking about it
How much longer will it take to cure this Just to cure it ’cause I can’t ignore it if it’s love (love) Makes me want to turn around and face me But I don’t know nothing about love, oh
Come on, come on Turn a little faster Come on, come on The world will follow after Come on, come on Because everybody’s after love
So I said I’m a snowball running Running down into the spring that’s coming all this love Melting under blue skies Belting out sunlight Shimmering love
Well baby I surrender To the strawberry ice cream Never ever end of all this love Well I didn’t mean to do it But there’s no escaping your love, oh
These lines of lightning mean We’re never alone Never alone, no, no
Come on, come on Move a little closer Come on, come on I want to hear you whisper Come on, come on Settle down inside my love, oh
Come on, come on Jump a little higher Come on, come on If you feel a little lighter Come on, come on We were once upon a time in love
We’re accidentally in love Accidentally in love Accidentally in love Accidentally in love Accidentally in love Accidentally in love Accidentally in love Accidentally in love Accidentally
I’m in love, I’m in love I’m in love, I’m in love I’m in love, I’m in love Accidentally I’m in love, I’m in love I’m in love, I’m in love I’m in love, I’m in love Accidentally
Come on, come on Spin a little tighter Come on, come on And the world’s a little brighter Come on, come on Just get yourself inside her Love I’m in love
And to celebrate this month, I have decided to make a Shrek Series Edition … just because! Have you noticed the songs in those movies though? It deserves to be mentioned.
And, we start of with the beginning “Hey Now, you’re a Rockstar” – “All star” by Smash Mouth
First of! Can you name all the celebrities cameo in this music video ?
Second, when I hear the song, I only have Shrek morning routine in mind! How about you? This was really awesome way to introduce Shrek and a great way to start the day, the week!
Morning Routine
From DreamWorks production, the tagline of “Shrek” 2001 is literally : “The greatest fairy tale never told“. You have the hero, the sidekick, the lady in distress and the dragon, add all of that and you get a fairy tale! The voice artists are : Mike Meyersas Shrek, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, and Eddy Murphy as Donkey. A nice trio that works pretty well! The movie is directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson … hum, no idea who they are … still, they manage to get the Oscar for the Best Animated features in 2002!
And with that, I wish you a good day, a good week and until the song!
PS : The Youtube “First Line” is halted at this moment, life came and I have to focus on that! But, Feel free to re-watch the videos!!
PPS : HAPPY PRIDE MONTH !!!
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the 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 streets? 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 meteor 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’ll 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 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
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 So what’s wrong with taking the back streets? 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
And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold
