[nsdgvsdhfhjdfbd]

3:58 SUCKS!!!

[pyrusperseus]

[SimminsShow]

OMG.

[selectabableftright]

I've never seen 4, but I say 2 was better than 3

[msciciel100]

i m hero



[caboosealpha]

I came here from SilverLetomi and my memories :D

[soldwisch]

In what univerve is that a C minor?

[DivineKaktuSssS]

HELICAL

[MainHeretic]

This was the last Shrek that was good. Shrek 3 and Shrek 4 sucked.

[scalbard]

@MainHeretic i didn't even know there was a 4th

[darkmantlestudios]

Sad but true



[rexana]

"More heat, less foam!"

[Junanagou]

Sooooo wonderfuuuuuuul ! T_T

[janesdiary16]

3:30 awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[fubah7]

Saints row 3 ending song

[TheBattousai6009]

@fubah7 I wish it was this version though

[TheBattousai6009]

@fubah7 I wish it was this version though

[SassyBellaRose]

lampa400 yes it is and still is amazing

[Nancy99999]

Please Jennifer, MAKE a CANDLELIGHT version. I'd love to hear a soft mellow one with your beautiful voice.

[Tommy314ful]

15 people's arms were torn off after being soaked with milk while trying to pull down a drawbridge.

[lampa400]

Its Bonnie Tyler's song.. right?

[TheSGCGaming]

@lampa400 Yep.

[emgeesxvideos]

Anyone else love that crescendo of the brass and then pulls back at 1:10 - 1:15 ?

[LisaSpringfield]

It's actually in A minor, not G minor.

[Nessquick2458]

@LisaSpringfield she said C minor not G minor

[LisaSpringfield]

@Nessquick2458 I know, but people are saying that this song is "actually in G minor when she said C minor". Both are wrong, this is in A minor. The original was.

[daniel0731ex]

@LisaSpringfield The original is, but this version is in G minor.

[LordNumbnutsthe1st]

I have heard a couple of other versions before, and I have to say it's still my favorite version, not withdstanding Great Luke Ski's parody of Heroes (Holding Out for Hiro)

[LordNumbnutsthe1st]

Especially since I get to imagine that perfect moment when Puss in Boots enthralls the minions before hack 'n' slashing them all.

[roxaslineage]

this song just makes me feel good. Never gets old. I gave up listening to the thong song to come listen to this instead

[FairyAnzu]

Do you listen it in Hungarian? :D That's good too!

[sharpe1138]

13 people aren't holding out for a hero.

[rephead]

C minor, put it c minor,.

[ashleyrawrzpuppies]

and jennifer has an amazing voice

[EuphrasieF]

@ashleyrawrzpuppies

Yeah, she does. She doesn't sing nearly enough. 

[ashleyrawrzpuppies]

catchy song makes me think of my bf he's my hero

[ScaredByChairs]

Man I love this song

[MariiBRUSH]

Do you listen this in italian ? ♥

[EuphrasieF]

@MariiBRUSH

No, only French... is the Italian version somewhere on YouTube?

[ThomasTrue]

Not an easy song to sing and Jennifer Saunders just blows me away singing it.

[LemonSugar18]

You have got to LOVE Jennifer Saunders version of this!

She's got an amazing voice!

x

[Sykohtic]

and honestly this comes from a kid who loves this song and put in the time to learn and come up with my own version on piano. ive thought about putting it on here but havent decided yet.

[Sykohtic]

this is by far one of the best versions of this song ever. quite honestly it does a good job of modernizing the song while retaining its original value and purpose. is conveys the same emotion and edge. its full and powerful, just like its supposed to be. Sorry Ella Mae, Jennys still got ya beat lol

other versions that are good are the original. i tie this version with the original. second is Frou Frou's version. Third at the moment is Ella Mae Brown's from the new footloose. i only know 4 vrsin

[Heartlessisnobody]

Its not the same without her loud "HIT IT" xD

[LisaSpringfield]

@Heartlessisnobody I know, they should've kept it.

[thenardier100]

Obviously, 10 people don't have a hero.

[mcrjade]

I don't know about street wise but I know where a cat-loving Heracles is:)

|:3 meow.....

[ValkyrieCain123]

i think this was the most epic scene in any movie,EVER!

[devonkae]

@ValkyrieCain123 i agree with u. i love this scene. it really shows how much shrek loves fiona. i love this song. :)

[VintageStar385]

This was the best part of this movie if you ask me :L

[cedriccjmusic]

Its g minor . . .bad mistake people . . .Lol!

[Beethovenice]

9 people didn't hold out for a hero. :(

[96gunit]

I wish I lived in the Shrek world

[MrLordoftheWater]

9 people can't figure out what key this song is in.

[888MRS]

Mongo: Beeee Gooood

Gingy: NOOOOOO!

This made me cry... ;(

[ElFreakinCid]

@888MRS

It was originally gonna get even sadder--the director commentary reveals that Gingy's death was written into the bit where he jumps in to save Mongo, but the test audiences said that was far too upsetting, so they rewrote it and Gingy lived.

[ReRe5053]

@ElFreakinCid Gingy is epic

[Californiangirl1467]

I have to say, I love the Fairy Godmother :D

[deedeedee99110]

@Californiangirl1467 MARRY HER THEN :P

[MissOoMangoO]

epic..epic,, love it

that's sooo exciting

thanks =)

[YellowKazooie]

is this song in C minor?

[zinazina11]

they shouldn't have killed Fairy Godmother at the end, they should've kept her as a personal jukebox :D her voice is too good

[aabbklll101]

u could chant this or bibbidy bobbidy boo

[StepsFan4Life]

C Minor Put it in C Monor

[sAmfRancIs94]

Hell yeah! Jennifer Saunders!!!

[Beethovenice]

Eight people did not hold out for a hero.

[Nancy99999]

It was so good until 0:40.

Should've been all slow and mellow, methinks.

[manauser1]

@Nancy99999 Narr, the fast pace suits her voice and the siege of the castle ^^

[Nancy99999]

@manauser1 Yeah true, forgot about that scene. I think they should've made an all-slow version, like on a double-sided CD. Many artists do a candlelight mix and this song would've been oh so beautiful that way!

[manauser1]

@Nancy99999 Hmm... that would have been nice but I myself personally would still prefer the fast pace version. lol. This song I don't think was ever really made to be slow.

[SkyIsland21]

@manauser1 Actaully there is a slow version watch?v=meq7CZNDINg .

[hoohlahoop]

best movie eva

[MattMahael]

Is it weird that whenever Puss in Boots, "Go, go, your lady needs you...Today, I repay my debt...," it gives me the shivers?

[ZonagonsBlackKnight]

@MattMahael I don't see how it's weird.

[Schlenzigzan]

@MattMahael If you've seen puss in boots the movie, you will understand that quote it will make you shout his name out loud :)

[SeraLunaCharm]

That's not C-minor

[skatami]

I just loved seeing and hearing this song in theatres. It. Was. Epic.

[1slena]

its good until 3:58

[ZonagonsBlackKnight]

@1slena But it doesn't last that long.

[Zacktly123]

@ZonagonsBlackKnight That's the idea.

We're all so sad it's over!! T.T

...

*replays*

-w-

[SeryusDiett]

This song alone makes me wanna watch this movie just so I can see the ending. :3

[ChocolateMilk121]

i love how they work in Harry Gregson-Williams and John Powell's original themes!! sooo epic!!

[xbjohnson]

this song is incredibly badass. it makes me wana go save someone....

[hippocrit123]

I remember growing up to this stuff. This is the soundtrack to my childhood. I loved Shrek, which changed my outlook on comedy and fairytale love; and I loved this movie because it took Shrek to a whole new level that just WORKED. It wasn't over done, it wasn't under done. I don't know how they did it, but these movies changed my life (which doesn't usually happen). The first two made me experience so many emotions. They made me care about the characters.

LOVE YOU SHREK <3 <3

[Arngrim82]

Who gives a fuck if its c-minor or g-minor LMFAO

[bow2myia]

@Arngrim82 you're not funny.

[TwiliDragonRin]

I just love this song, I remember singing it when I first watched it hah I didn't even knew the lyrics to this XD

[festus490]

I love this song so much! it gives me chills

[BillyLor44]

such a good song damn like @2:34 it gets gentle

[musicis100percent]

Jennifer Saunders has a great voice in this song. My favorite part is 1:57 to 2:34.

[CiaranDUK]

@musicis100percent My favourite part is from 0:00 through to 3:57

[Nedas21]

I swear that I hate Shrek for making the song have to end right there >.>

Easily my most favourite song and scene from the entire franchise =)

[rscody]

@nikyan1231 it IS C-mine YOU are the tone deaf pianist.

[erik88699]

shrek forever

[lioncircleantilope]

ddamn, those blind mice.... they keep missing teh like butten 

[SDANGJ]

I could think of so many situations that this song would make awesome!

[WrSclanwars]

this song offically is getting played on xbox live for when someone in the clan needs to clutch in a gb lol

[cutedanzr4]

from footloose?

[kendallisalegolover]

i love this song!

[2009BrittanyFaith]

this is going to be my Bouquet toss song at my wedding! lol

[wqsr4o]

"Beeeee gooooood"

[DefyGravity464]

@wqsr4o

"Noo, he needs me!! Let me go!"

I had this song on a little tape recorder because I didn't have the soundtrack, so I caught all the dialogue in between. xD

[UndeadNocturneIX]

Damn, I need my cd back. My damn cd player ate it/broke it. T_T

[reflection26]

The first time I heard this I thought it was "And he's got a bassoon", instead of "He's gotta be soon"

[DarkestElemental616]

@reflection26 That is perhaps the most awesome misinterpretation I've ever heard. Now my hero must have a bassoon at the ready once he's done slaying evil.

[yellowlollypops]

i love this song

[PaulinaH727]

i was drawing my friend cause she wanted to be a baker when she gets older, she was making bread but then she trips. and i drew her tripping. and the dough was flying through the air. then i put on this song.. now im gonna make a video of the dough with a random hand sticking out of it reaching out for my friend. and then shes gonna be reaching back for it in slow motion. itll be amazing.

[EnriZHenry]

SK Believe 

[MasterVato831]

2:03 when she says "And when the Lightning splits the Sea!!" it always gives me chills

[101hellokittys]

@MasterVato831 why?

[MasterVato831]

@101hellokittys because it reminds me of what happens when I look at someone in Halo: Reach

[chonge]

Rapes the replay button

[sparxon]

2:34 makes me feel better xP

[homeworksuckscheese]

@nikyan1231 how did you know lol

[KuteFairytale]

@nikyan1231 That comment made me laugh for ever....Thumbs up for you! haha

[MembeOfTheUchiha]

"No  no no no you big lump of pastry"

[Blaizethewolf1]

>:D I need a hero too!

[boogieloogie94]

I love Shrek, Donkey has to be the best character, sorry Gingy, you're a close 2nd.

[Urser100]

free reset button 0:00 

[AdrianaKit]

8 people don't need a hero.

[SarahB4ever]

I can't stop hitting replay! D;

[laurence265]

she does an amazing job

[HawaiianRambo]

where can I get this song from?? I can't find it on iTunes!!

[AbFabFan10]

@HawaiianRambo just type youtube converter in google, copy URL into box and it will convert it for you and download :)

[EuphrasieF]

@HawaiianRambo

Itunes doesn't sell this as a single, but if you look up "Shrek 2 Soundtrack", you can get it.

[IONICSHADOW]

@nikyan1231 dnt diss beethoven the 26th whats wrong with you

[hmnhntr]

Insert dumb joke about inserting dumb joke here.

[marnozzle]

Jennifer Saunders is just so...so awesome.

[sherlockfan16]

C minor, put it in C minor!

[shadkon]

If this was a single id would buy it

[eriyana12]

<3 I remember when I was younger, I sang this at my school's talent show. Though I have stage fright now, I'll never forget people cheering. Good memories~

Thanks for uploading!

[Bumblebee13241]

@eriyana12 didja win? i won 3rd place in my talent show, and all i did was show off some of my famous drawings.

[BreezyFastpitch]

eight people don't want a hero :(

[MyidolGwen]

I'll never forget when I first saw Shrek ride Mongo into the busy streets of downtown Far Far Away, and he ripped off the giant Starbucks cup. Then FGM played her song, thinking it'd be a slow piano number...then BAM! Pulled into this epic heroic montage, Mongo yanking down the moat gate, and Shrek leaping into the castle entrance. Man, that was so beautiful.

[DownsideStudios]

@MyidolGwen dont forget puss's awsome battle that was super hero epic! XD

[LLL417]

@MyidolGwen I get chills whenever I watch it! Awesome!

[TheAnonymousSeeker]

I need to become a hero.

[tatumjs]

@OldNewsThinker Believe it or not, there are actually vocalists out there who can sing like this without the aid of autotune or editing. It's called TALENT.

[MAndre2414]

Anyone else pissed you can't buy this on iTunes without buying the whole album? Bastards.

[1dra7]

*Insert stupid joke about dislikes* The dislike bar is the size of Justin Beiber's penis. This video is somehow related to Chuck Norris. Did he died!?!? Mom, I'm gonna go beat up (Dislikes here) with my (likes here) friends. Thumbs up for (Random Reason) *Insert quote about video here and add Epic or something to it*

You don't have to comment now. Life is easier.

[Tarooshful]

A kewl part in the movie indeed, I need a heroooo~!

[MoonLiteWolfPro]

@OldNewsThinker what makes you think it's auto tuned?

[MoonLiteWolfPro]

I love this part in the movie

[yihanglee]

Damn it! I can't belive i didn't notice this song until they play it during the opening ceremony..

[OldNewsThinker]

auto tune much?

[EthanCole15]

Gah lee why do I keep clicking replay??

[loopycow7890]

70's fever... sigh...

[queennats123]

[Sosanec121212]

[bowserhunter1]

@Sosanec121212 yep

[iloovedemonilestppl]

C-MINOR ;D

[moviemowdown]

Im sorry but your an hero is dead!

[LJBndDB]

this song is quite sexy i must say ;)

[Mimoso888]

Did the 8 who don't like that song actually listen to it? Or were they just checking dislike on every song on youtube?

[hmnhntr]

You know why thi song is only in 240p? Cause if the quality was any better it would explode people's heads.

[YouNoobCz]

Trapná :))

[ChrisMolyneaux93]

@nikyan1231 FINALLY somebody mentions that! Great to know I'm not the only person who knows his pitches!

[jakemkay]

@nikyan1231 just shows how badass The Fairy Godmother is...she's more comfortable singing in C minor but she still rocks it in G minor :)

[pianistsan]

@jakemkay finally someone notices!

[alynickir]

Jennifer saunders,

Your voice is amazing.

MAKE MORE MUSIC!!!

[MsLollipop30]

Literally, every time I listen to this, Jennifer Saunders gives me the shivers! :D

[PatLoser10000]

@MsLollipop30 IKR!

[MsLollipop30]

@PatLoser10000 She's brilliant, isn't she? :D

[MitsukoKalibara]

I love it <3

[DezszNutz1]
