The reason she says put it in C-minor and it’s not in c-minor is a reference to singing in the rain. One of the main comedic characters, Lina, who has an awful voiceand was a silent movie actor has to start acting with sound as it’s invented and is all the rage. So they have a person basically do her lines for her, but she is not credited. So the other main character has an idea to expose Lina as a fraud and basically have her sing on live on stage with the dub actress in the curtain behind her. The plan is to drop the curtain to expose Lina and the true voice actress. She request the orchestra to play it in the song in A-flat but because of her accent they play it in E-Flat. Similarly the fairy godmother requests it to be played in C-minor and instead it’s played in G-minor.
I remember watching Shrek 2 once and after the fairy godmother said to put it in C minor and the piano started, my mother just went "That's not C minor". I now know what it would've been in C minor. Thanks bro
@@eduardoaguero1220 but the English version is the original script and what every other translation is based off of, this is why most of them get it wrong too
An extremely niche reference to an actress from Singing in the Rain. The plot to expose her as not the VA had her accent make the players think she'd requested E minor. They played in A minor, as a result.
The band playing in C-minor almost completely changes the tone of the song. If the band actually played it in C-Minor the people attending the party would have heard Fairy Godmother's evil intentions in the composition. The band actually briefly saved her by playing it in G-Minor instead
The key of B-flat major has a supertonic C minor and a submediant G minor, so the godmother’s G minor vocals still sound okay even over the C minor piano.
I can't even understand why you brought up Bb. Her singing stayed in G minor while the band plays C minor now. Bb is the relative major of G minor but other than that it's pretty irrelevant. The simpler explanation as to why it still works is because G minor and C minor are right next to each other on the circle of fifths meaning they have all but one note in common. G minors A vs C minors Ab. You could also think of her singing as being in C MELODIC minor which actually does have an A. Obviously melodic minor is good for melodies so it still works.
@@thecollector5204 supertonic is the 2nd chord in the scale, submediant is the 6th chord in the scale. Chord #6 can often be used instead of the tonic (the 1st or "main" chord) because chord #6 has two of the same notes as chord #1 (Bb and D), and chord #2 uses notes that are pretty close to chord #1's notes. The idea is that Bb major (the major key version of G minor) has a lot of the same chords as C minor and G minor
The original version of this song feels like an epic duel song that culminates in a powerful victory for our hero. This version feel like the end of a story where you know the hero is dying at the end of it... And god is it fantastic for it. Also if this song blows up it absolutely deserves it because WHY DOES IT KIND OF SLAP THO
You know, i bet the script said G minor (which is what the original song is in) but the VA just misread the G as a C on the paper and they either didn't catch it or didn't have the time/money to fix it
another comment explains that it's a reference to Singing In The Rain where they do the same thing, they request a certain key but it's misheard so they do a different key entirely
And honestly as much as I loved the first Shrek movie and yes Lord Farquad was a good villain, Fairy God Mother was my favorite Shrek Villain. She was more involved and really fun. I love how evil and sure of herself. This is definitely my favorite song in the entire movie.
Most Kung Fu Panda villains, Jack Horner, and Death have since dethroned her, and Ramses has always been peak, but it cannot be overstated how she's head and shoulders over most other villains not just in Shrek but in all of Dreamworks.
So THIS is what the fairy godmother wanted it to sound like! I love how the piano player was like "nah I don't think I will". Thank you for making this!
Fairy Godmother: C-Minor, put in C-Minor. Pianist in the movie: *plays in G-Minor* Kit Bright: *actually plays in C-Minor* Fairy Godmother should have hired you instead of the pianist she stuck with who can't tell a difference between C-Minor and G-Minor.
Is it the best version? Nahh, not to my ears right now, though maybe it's because it wasn't made *in* c minor originally. But it certainly has a more dire sound to it than the original. Like an Arthurian era romance should be. Excellent work, thank you kindly.
everyone making videos to this song PLEASE : the original isnt on spotify if you know how to make podcasts you can download your video of this or whatever nightcore as a podcast but the original song isnt on spotify at all
C minor, huh? So close to my favorite D minor, just two keys higher and it will be perfect (original Bonnie Tyler version and other remixes based on it are on A minor btw, which is five keys lower than D minor) (I just listened this video in two keys higher, Dm Instrumental + Am singing is a perfect combo, its awesome)

Probably going to in the next 7. Of course most of us will be waiting again to see it. Happy holidays everyone.
lol facts
Says 2 weeks ago and yours was 4 days ago...see you in 7 years maybe??
I searched it.
Well, we can at least say we were here before that amount of time~
What makes this even better is that the orchestra playing in C minor still works harmonically well with the G minor vocals!
It's a 5th so it does fit still
@@limespots You see my point!
So C-Minor will make this sound like a piece from a Kingdom Hearts soundtrack.
Actually such a good comparison. Goes so hard

Bro. Imagine if in Kingdom Hearts 4, he meets this version of Fairy God Mother in the world of fiction.
I think c minor is meant for heroic music , her the villan singing i need a hero is a sarcastic touch in the movie
I remember watching Shrek 2 once and after the fairy godmother said to put it in C minor and the piano started, my mother just went "That's not C minor". I now know what it would've been in C minor. Thanks bro
Show this to your mom and tell her someone fixed it
@TheColonelEchidna sure 😂
@@k0ncursusWhat did she say 👀?
@@star.boy.937 She didn't care 😭
Yeah, guess the piano player ignored her.
Hmm. the INSTRUMENTS are in C minor
but Godmother's vocals are still in G minor
still was cool to hear
Well, she only said to put the piano in C minor, she didn't say she was going to sing in it.
@@kate_cooper XD, Good one!
I didn't even think of that.
it still sounds interesting in a good way
Going the music theory route, this seems to fight between G Phrygian, G minor, and C Minor.
@@Joamori1054 Because it still fits harmonically!
so it was never in c minor? damn fairy lied to me for 20 years
No it's in G minor in the film, it's bothered me for years....
@@PickleFishMusic well, at least its still in a minor key
More like the pianist messed up and she rolled with it
Maybe Jennifer’s script was smudged.
Hell yes! I thought it was in c minor for real aswell! Fuck logic
I love how the Russian dub actually had her ask it in Sol (G) minor
Same in French!
in the Arabic dub too weirdly lol
I guess they meant ti say G and goofed in the us dub

Ooh the synth sounds great in C Minor
Genuinely surprised this hasn't been done before lol (I'm calling it now, this is gonna blow up).
Honestly me too. Before I came up with idea I found one but I didn’t like the way it sounded so I made my own version

It’s giving final fantasy vibes.
Holy shit real
See you guys in 7 years when TH-cam recommends this to everyone o7
i thought this was just gonna be pitched down, you reorchestrated it with the original vocals and it actually sounds good?????? HOW

It sounds a lot more disco in this key XD

Im surprised this is the first time its actually been made in c minor. Cool stuff man
How has this only just now been done?
The new Metal Gear Solid soundtrack sounds amazing.
Now that's a good one 😂
I was today years old when I learned that Holding Out For a Hero from Shrek 2 was not actually in C-minor like Fairy Godmother said it was. 🤯Nice job!
OMG 🤯 EMOJI
I feel BETRAYED
1:30 is still absolute fire no matter what version
NO HIT IT? WTF
@@jay-1800 DAMN I FORGOT 💀
@@kitbrightLiterally unlistenable. smh 👎
@jase2919 respectable opinion but wrong.
My first thought exactly. C Minor is great and all, but it feels incomplete without the "HIT IT" and evil laugh right after.
I literally shouted HIT IT but... there was no HIT IT 😢
Shrek 2: The Sequel: The True Hero
The song doesn’t hit without the HIT IT!
this sounds genuinly more epic
Man I need a metal cover of this version.
@@ladyvictory5326 oh….. 😈
Reminds me of how Solitude in E Minor isn’t even in E Minor
Yay! E minor!
“Oh my goodness! Squidward!!”
HOW did nobody pick up on this for so long
This is actually still pretty good though 😅 has the same energy as pianos are never animated correctly though and I love that about this.
Yeah, C-minor! Alright, yeah!
See everyone when this blows up in a few years lol, leaving this here so every notif i get i get reminded again 😅😂
I wonder how many people are discoving that this song originally wasn't in C minor.
I knew when I first saw the movie back in 2004. It always bothered me a bit, but Shrek 2 is still my favorite of all of them.
THIS IS GOD DAMN AMAZING HOW DID YOU DO THIS?! LMAOOO THANK YOU !!
Ngl i kinda wanna gaslight people by editing this version into the film to see if they'll notice
I gave it a legit like, but I also cannot get past a minute in. But I'm proud you made this. Brave soul.
How did you make the original go even harder!!!

play this at my wedding pls 😭🙏

Great music.
You've corrected it! You've done us all a great favor, thank you so much 😊
I love you music people so much, this is amazing
I almost prefer this over the original
The Kingdom Hearts coment is goated tho, It's true, I can see it in a crossover with Kingdom Hearts
Glad to finally know what it truly would sound like. It's honestly great sounding still.
well thanks for the new video I'll be looping into the new year LOL
this is actually kinda fire
Somthing in a minor key that doesn't sound evil?
The background instrumental is in c-minor. But the vocals seem unchanged.
That’s because they still harmonize while unchanged.
As another comment said, she said to put the piano in C Minor. She never said she was going to sing in it.
i love this sm
Investing in 36k. See you guys in a decade when it’s in everyone’s recommended!
It used to sound like a final boss music, but now it sounds like the ultimate final boss movie 😭😭😭
In c minor makes me remember more of the original song
Criminally underated well done 😊
I think the best part about this is that TH-cam's content ID (copyright) system didn't detect this as a video using Holding Out for a Hero in it.
