Why does adding “hit it” make this song a million times better?
It adds character, I think.
It just does and that's what makes it so good
What are these bot replies?😂 lowkey I was thinkin the same thing tho
Facts definitely pure masterpiece as well
It bridges the gap between the slow and fast part of the song. It feels unnatural and abrupt without if
I never understood why the original soundtrack didn’t include “hit it!” while it did include “C minor, put it in c minor”
It actually sounds bad in c minor. Trust me
The irony is that this arrangement is actually in G minor😂
@@Bizarro_Brythe pianist knew it sounded like shit so they played it in G hoping no one noticed
@@sussy6905 honestly it sounds perfect in G minor, very funny they did that, it was probably a joke tbh
There was clapping sounds in the background. Even in this video, you'll notice that the hit is toned down so you won't hear some of the clapping.
Now this is how you integrate a pop culture song into your soundtrack organically
Facts! The setting fits the song
Looking at you most animated movies today.
*cough* wish *cough*
Not only did they integrate it, the Shrek leitmotif is even a part of the song.
Now this is a hero.
Everyone needs a little bit of "HIT IT" in life.
The villain serenading the plot, the hero, the whole fucking movie while seamlessly becoming a part of the film. Orgasmic.
You. You get it.
And a damn good singer, too. Like DAMN.
@@tvoovm7254 yes
'Orgasmic' is the only word to describe the whole sequence. Couldn't describe it better...🎉
@@Sunny-wj2ig ogreasmic
I’m playing this at my wedding
I just might, tbh.
Same
I’m playing this at my funeral.
Bro, when my friends getting married, I'm going to say objection and force the person to play this in the background, just for the hell of it
As you should
I just screamed "HIT IT" in the ugliest voice.
LMAO
*hIt iT*
Yeah, me too lad
*H I T I T*
O feel this in my jellies!!!! "HIT IT" ...best part of that song hands down!!

Thank you, it was criminal that this isn't in the soundtrack version
I know right?
Not the video we deserved, but the video we needed.
This is the most epic scene ever. Change my mind.
It's been a year and no one has tried to. Point made!

Shrek 2's version of "Su-per-man"
1:59 "More heat less foam!"
@Morgan Adamss You mean Mongo?
¡Más caliente, menos espuma! (Latín Spanish version)
@stryder1347 literally said the same thing in my head 😂😂😂
1:28 this instrumental note sequence that follows is possibly one of the coolest musical things I've ever heard
I had no hopes, I didn't expect anything while typing "i need a hero with hit it" in it and there it is... what a god among men
April 12 2024 this movie goes back into theaters and we all get to experience this on the big screen again for the 20th
its today!
"Hey You, Back Away from my wife!"
Shrek?
You couldn’t Just Go Back To Your Swamp And Leave Well Enough Alone!
They told Jennifer to go nuts, and she did.
This is the definitive version
shrek 2 soundtrack do go crazy indeed
The Shrek 2 soundtrack HITS different, man.
Name ONE animated movie from the 2020's that has this level of legendary heroicism.
*Spider chilling on wall*
Me: HIT IT!
Spider: I need a hero!
Spider-Man and Ms Tarantula: You called?
This is bad-assery on a level we can never understand as mortals.
This movie is how i know of this song's existence
The part at 3:03, where she belts it out as Donkey effortlessly clears a line of armed and armoured knights, is the best part in my opinion.
I wish there was this song for gymnastics floor music
A few of my Gymnasts friends have done a routine for this.
It's kind of amazing how much this improves the song
Just adding "Hit it!" makes this whole song better!
How come i get goosebumps whenever I listen to this
3:07
Shrek: Donkey 🫏 🐎
Donkey jumps over the guards
Nimona did the same thing in horse form with Ballister on her back!
It’s all fun and games until they mess with the gumdrop buttons
Somehow a person saying "Hit it" is a highlight of this song XD
i like ur pfp
Therapist - Ok lie back I'm going to play a song, you tell me how it makes you feel.
Me- GO GO, YOUR LADY NEEDS YOU!
You are doing god's work
this is better than the original

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed
Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
Someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Hero
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
And he's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Hero
And he's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
