I'm a Believer - Weezer Guitar FC (RB3 Custom) HD Gameplay (Xbox 360)

My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: A fun little cover of This Monkees classic by Weezer For the fourth Shrek film. The song originally appeared in the first Shrek Movie as performed by Smash Mouth who had a hit with their take on the song.

Song Facts:
"I'm a Believer" is a song written by Neil Diamond and originally performed by The Monkees in 1966. Weezer covered the song for the 2010 film "Shrek Forever After"

The song is featured at the end of the film Shrek Forever After. The original Shrek film ended with a cover of the same song performed by the band Smash Mouth.

Weezer's cover of "I'm a Believer" was recorded after Rivers Cuomo was involved in a bus crash in December of 2009, leading to uncertainty as to whether the band would be able to record the cover.

The supervisor in charge of the Shrek soundtrack then reached out to the band Vampire Weekend, but frontman Ezra Koenig "refused to capitalize on Weezer's misfortune."

The band was able to record the song, across two sessions on January 12 and January 16, 2010.

Scott Shriner stated in a conference call that it "was really fun to do. We’re all a fan of Shrek. A lot of us have kids. It just sounded like a really fun idea."
