I'm afraid I can't help but be reminded of anything but Shrek .

But, yes, in some ways it does remind you a little of Guybrush. "I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed" - this can certainly be related to Guybrush at times (though, not all of the time; Guybrush does show some moments of intelligence). And there are other lines throughout the song that sort of relate to Guybrush, his experiences, his situation and his way of living:

"Didn't make sense not to live for fun" - Guybrush always seems to want to do what he wants.
"So much to do so much to see" - It sort of sums up Guybrush's situation when he is first seen washing up on the shores of Melee Island and is automatically thrust into the pirating world.
"Only shooting stars break the mold" - Guybrush does not fit the mold one bit .
"Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me" - Nobody would have expected Guybrush to last a day in the pirating world, but heck, look at him now. He's killed LeChuck 5 times, he's famous for it, and he's the pirating equivalent of a 'rockstar' or an 'allstar'.

Yes, I guess this does remind me a little of Guybrush, lyrically.
