Dreamworks But the best song not only on the soundtracks, but OF ANY SOUNDTRACK EVER, is the Fairy Godmother's cover of "Holding Out For A Hero" in Shrek 2, artfully sung by Jennifer Saunders.Dreamworks The utterly transcendent cover comes at the thrilling climax of the film, when Shrek is trying to break into the castle to stop Fiona from kissing Prince Charming, who is masquerading as Shrek himself.Dreamworks The scene goes through the entire range of emotions, featuring the absolutely tragic death of Mongo. #RIPDreamworks Not only that, but every beat of the song is perfectly timed to the action in an example of cinematic perfection.
