    As a big fellow with a crusty exterior and a crusty heart that nevertheless cares, Shrek is one of those roles I was born to play. And this is my favorite song from the musical based on his adventures. Yes, there was a musical.

      I participated in a Shrek preformance once in school! I was just one of the background characters, but was so much fun! There's so much more in the script than just in the movie - then again, the actors make the play what it is as much as as the script. Just like the song cover got so much character thanks to Alex and the others :)

So, I saw this and I felt obligated to view. Great job on this, guys. You've taken this song and made me love it so much more! Thank you!
