"All Star" is an alternate-rock single by the band Smash Mouth featured in their second album, Astro Lounge. It is a meme on the SiIvaGunner channel.

Overview

The song was first used in the 1999 action film Mystery Men and was later popularized in the 2001 animation film Shrek.

Due to the popularity of Shrek memes in the early 2010s, "All Star" was a popular source to use in mashups. A subreddit dedicated to "All Star" mashups, /r/smashups, was created in 2014. After a while, "All Star" became more of a meme in its own right somewhat disconnected from Shrek.

"All Star" is often used on SiIvaGunner in mashup and medley rips, such as "Remix 10 - Rhythm Heaven Fever" and sometimes in single rips such as "Main Theme - Shrek".

Due to its high use, the SiIvaGunner team had previously banned "All Star" mashups from fan submitted rips. However, as of The Haltmann Works Co. Training Video, it's not banned anymore.

The song's twentieth anniversary was also celebrated with a channel event in 2019.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the backstreets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all star Get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star Get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The water's getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire, how 'bout yours? That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored Hey now, you're an all star Get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star Get the show on, get paid All that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold Go for the moon Go for the moon Go for the moon Go for the moon Hey now, you're an all star Get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star Get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars Somebody once asked, "could I spare some change for gas? I need to get myself away from this place" I said, "Yep, what a concept I could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change" Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the backstreets? You'll never know if you don't go (Go!) You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all star Get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star Get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold
