Actually, it was in the 1999 superhero movie Mystery Men. Shrek wasn’t the first movie to use the song in a soundtrack. It was one of the last songs written for Smash Mouth’s album Astro Lounge. Guitarist Greg Camp wrote this meme anthem for weirdos after the record company asked for more songs that could be released as singles and it was released in 1999. They have other popular songs like “Walkin’ on the Sun”, “Then The Morning Comes”, and their cover of The Monkees’ “I’m a Believer” – which was also featured in Shrek. Smash Mouth were formed in San Jose, California in 1994.
