About

"Somebody Once Told Me" is the first line of the 1999 Smash Mouth song "All Star." After appearing in the opening scene of the 2001 animated children's film Shrek, the line became the subject of a photo set meme.

Origin

"All Star" was the first single on rock band Smash Mouth's sophomore album, Astro Lounge, which was released on June 8th, 1999. Shrek, an animated children's comedy film, was released on May 18th, 2001. In the opening scene of the film Shrek, the protagonist slams a door open just as the song begins.

This concept later led to a photo meme which splits a scene from a TV show or movie which features something being slammed, or someone being surprised by a slam or loud noise into two parts, one before the slam captioned "some-" and one after the slam captioned "body once told me." One of the earliest examples features Pokemon character Gary Oak slamming a door on Ash. The photo set was published by Tumblr user jelly-fishes[1] on April 9th, 2013. As of June 2014, it had gained over 21,000 notes.

A scene from a from a movie isnt a meme. Even if it is attach to the up and coming cult that is shrek. It has no year, no origin, no tags, no photos, no videos, no references.
And when you google it, this is one of the top images.

if this was anymore Deadpool Rob Liefeld would be involved.
