Shrek: "Ha! Like that’s ever gonna happen! What a load of (flush). And cue the mentioned song!

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll meI ain’t the sharpest tool in the shedShe was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumbIn the shape of an “L” on her foreheadWell the years start coming and they don’t stop comingFed to the rules and I hit the ground runningDidn’t make sense not to live for funYour brain gets smart but your head gets dumbSo much to do, so much to seeSo what’s wrong with taking the back streets?You’ll never know if you don’t goYou’ll never shine if you don’t glowHey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go playHey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paidAnd all that glitters is goldOnly shooting stars break the moldIt’s a cool place and they say it gets colderYou’re bundled up now, wait ‘til you get olderBut the meteor men beg to differJudging by the hole in the satellite pictureThe ice we skate is getting pretty thinThe water’s getting warm so you might as well swimMy world’s on fire, how about yours?That’s the way I like it and I’ll never get boredHey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go playHey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paidAll that glitters is goldOnly shooting stars break the moldHey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go playHey now, you’re a rock star, get the show, on get paidAnd all that glitters is goldOnly shooting starsSomebody once asked could I spare some change for gas?I need to get myself away from this placeI said, “Yup” what a conceptI could use a little fuel myselfAnd we could all use a little changeWell, the years start coming and they don’t stop comingFed to the rules and I hit the ground runningDidn’t make sense not to live for funYour brain gets smart but your head gets dumbSo much to do, so much to seeSo what’s wrong with taking the back streets?You’ll never know if you don’t go (go!)You’ll never shine if you don’t glowHey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go playHey now, you’re a rockHope this helps

I never knew the words, and I ain’t gonna look it up, so I’m one up on you.

Don’t follow them, but I first heard about Smash Mouth in the Kim Possible episode Queen Beverly.

Episode mostly written by Greg (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice) Weisman. He fully handle Big Bother. And for fun:

The meteor man begs to differ judging by the hole in the satellite picture

I forgot what it was she was supposed to forget.

Did what work?

If necessary, Phoebe could look then up online for you!

Here is the song that Marigold is talking about. I do not know if it will be to everyone’s taste, but I like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYG7sMtb6u8

Oh no, no no no SOMMMMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME

Well, at least Mari still remembers Phoebe this time…

Wish I could forget that song. And probably every other Smash Mouth song.

Can I pay to get that spell cast on me? Maybe remove ALL of Smashmouth?

Now there’s a service you could make a fortune from selling. The crowd wanting to forget Baby Shark alone would be massive.

Not to worry. Her memory is already coming back – the words “all star” are part of the lyrics.

The lyrics and melody don’t bother me, but the lead singer’s voice…

Yeah, that’s a win.

Gee thanks. Now it’s stuck in my head.

I worked in an office with a radio playing that song in heavy rotation. I became a fan of Smashmouth, but I still hate that song.

she was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead.

That’s why this song was referenced
