Shrek introduced a new element to give the film a unique feel. The film used pop music and other Oldies to make the story more forward. Covers of songs like " On the Road Again" and " Try a Little Tenderness" were integrated in the film's score. [53] The band Smash Mouth's song " All Star" gained massive popularity due to its usage in the film's opening credits. [54] As the film was about to be completed, Katzenberg suggested to the filmmakers to redo the film's ending to "go out with a big laugh"; instead of ending the film with just a storybook closing over Shrek and Fiona as they ride off into the sunset, they decided to add a song " I'm a Believer" covered by Smash Mouth and show all the fairytale creatures in the film.
