Relive the best moments of the movie with the motion picture soundtrack for Shrek the Third.   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info For the soundtrack to the third installment in the massively popular SHREK animated movie series, Dreamworks assembled another intriguingly eclectic set of pop/rock tunes. In addition to unlikely songs by Led Zeppelin (the propulsive "Immigrant Song") and Zep acolytes Wolfmother (the raucous "Joker & the Thief"), the album finds Eels mastermind Mark Oliver Everett, a regular on SHREK soundtracks, contributing the musical oddballs "Royal Pain" and "Losing Streak." Other highlights of the lively collection include Fergie's energetic take on Heart's "Barracuda" and a goofy cover of Sly & the Family Stones' "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" performed by SHREK stars Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas. A simpler, sunnier soundtrack than the previous Shrek outings, Shrek the Third delivers more of the franchise's expected mix of classic songs, covers, and a handful of new songs. Not surprisingly, the vintage tracks are the best, chief among them the Ramones' "Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?," Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle," and Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song." However, the older songs are also, by and large, more playful and appropriate for a kids' movie than many of the newer tracks; Wings' "Live and Let Die" is a reminder of how over the top mainstream rock hits could be. As far as Shrek the Third's more current songs go, Wolfmother's "Joker and the Thief" comes the closest to matching the energy and presence of the vintage tracks, even if it's not nearly as inspired (especially compared to Zep, of course). Fergie's cover of Heart's "Barracuda" is basically karaoke but still surprisingly good -- and a reminder that she's a good singer when she's given good material. The Eels contribute two mellow, cheerfully bittersweet tracks, "Royal Pain" and "Losing Streak," which set the tone for the feel-good singer/songwriter pop of Matt White's "Best Days" and Trevor Hall's "Other Ways." The soundtrack closes with Shrek-specific songs like Maya Rudolph and Rupert Everett's duel/duet "Final Showdown" (which quotes lyrics from Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody") and Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas' "Thank You (Falettin Me Be Mice Elf Again)," which young fans of the movie will no doubt love. Shrek the Third is a fun but slight soundtrack that only die-hard Shrek fans really need. ~ Heather Phares Producer: The Underdogs; Will.I.Am; Ron Fair; Harry Gregson-Williams; Jared Gosselin; Abraham Laboriel; Phillip White; Mateo Laboriel; Mark Oliver Everett; Thom Panunzio; Dave Donnelly (Compilation)   Associated Artists and Works California Dreams Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack   Technical Info Release Date : 05/15/2007 Original Release Date : 2007 Catalog ID : B-000889802 Label : Geffen Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 46m : 50s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00602517326231    Product Image
