Somebody remade All Star by Smashmouth using sounds from Windows XP and it is haunting

A terrifying work of genius.

Rudi Kinsella

Terrifying…

The song ‘All Star’ by Smashmouth is most commonly known for being the opening number to the classic movie Shrek. Recently, it has become an internet meme. Largely due to this man, Jon Sudano.

He sings ‘All Star’ by Smashmouth to the tune of other songs, and somehow it works, and people love it. Here’s him doing it to ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries.

Pretty cool, right?

But James Nielssen has taken his obsession with ‘All Star’ by Smashmouth to the next level.

He has gone one further.

Nielssen has remade the song, using only the noises that are made by Window XP, and the results are incredible.

As terrifying it is, it is still extremely impressive.

Smash Mouth is inescapable. And when we say inescapable, we really mean it.
