* The franchise's main theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KruvKcrD0A Fairytale]], a hauntingly beautiful {{leitmotif}} that still manages to fit with the series' tongue-in-cheek tone. Added bonus for that basically becoming the unofficial opening song of all the Dreamworks films to come after - whenever they do their Dreamworks Logo Gag, expect to hear some variation of it. [[spoiler:Its use in the SequelHook of ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'' is considered a SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound to many.]]
* Jason Wade’s “[[https://youtu.be/oyJ2e9-mqFA You Belong to Me]]” is laidback, gentle, and romantic. It’s perfect for Shrek and Fiona’s dinner where they realize they have even more in common than they thought as they enjoy the former’s cooking. As Fiona quickly becomes enthusiastic about coming back to the swamp to spend time with Shrek, he gets nervous as he seems to subconsciously realize he has a real chance at love for the first time. It’s a short, sweet, and heartfelt song that perfectly sums up what both Shrek and Fiona are realizing about each other - “you belong to me.”

* Both covers of "I'm a Believer" (Creator/EddieMurphy's in the movie, Music/SmashMouth's on the soundtrack) are awesome, but Donkey belting it out at the end of the first movie with a crowd of fairy tales backing him up deserves special mention. For a typical kid watching this movie back in the summer of 2001, that whole sequence was the epitome of cool.
