I saw that this soundtrack finally made it onto vinyl, and I’m a Believer. There’s an All Star cast of musicians on this soundtrack.\u003c\/i\u003e Okay, sorry, just had to get all of that out of the way. Long before the Minions, 1999’s \u003cem\u003eShrek\u003c\/em\u003e was the landmark animated film for Dreamworks, and even more uniquely, one that didn’t appear to be a reaction to a similar film by Pixar. \u003cstrong\u003eNicholas Cage\u003c\/strong\u003e was originally considered for the role of ornery ogre Shrek, but the film’s directors decided to go with \u003cstrong\u003eChris Farley\u003c\/strong\u003e, but they weren’t out of the swamp yet. Nearly all of the film’s dialogue had been recorded but remained unfinished before Farley’s untimely death. After a complete rewrite, \u003cstrong\u003eMike Myers\u003c\/strong\u003e was cast, and also came close to completing his dialogue before the film’s staff decided on a third re-record, this time in order to give Shrek his iconic Scottish accent. After all of the drama with the voice acting, the soundtrack fit into place relatively easily. The film’s choice of music is interwoven to the plot, using a collection of pop music and oldies to propel the story forward. \"All Star\" by \u003cstrong\u003eSmash Mouth\u003c\/strong\u003e became an unavoidable hit after its inclusion during the film’s opening credits, this appears to be the track’s first appearance on vinyl in the US since an uncommon 1999 jukebox 7”. Also includes Smash Mouth’s “I’m a Believer” (including a reprise by \u003cstrong\u003eEddie Murphy\u003c\/strong\u003e as Donkey), “Best Years of Our Lives” performed by the \u003cstrong\u003eBaha Men\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \"I’m On My Way\" by \u003cstrong\u003eThe Proclaimers\u003c\/strong\u003e.
