About Despicable Me

Despicable Me is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated comedy film produced by Illumination Entertainment as its debut film and project and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film was animated by the French animation studio Mac Guff, which was later acquired by Illumination. Directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud in their directorial debuts with a story by Sergio Pablos, the film is eponymous with the main character and its theme song, composed by Pharrell Williams. The film stars Steve Carell as the voice of Gru, a supervillain who adopts three girls (voiced by Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, and Elsie Fisher) from an orphanage; and Jason Segel as the voice of Vector, a rival of Gru that steals the Great Pyramid of Giza. When Gru learns of Vector's heist, he plans an even greater heist: to shrink and steal Earth's moon. However, despite Gru's villainous intentions, he grows increasingly touched by the girls' growing love for him and finds himself changing for the better because of it.

I'm having a bad bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steam rolling whatever I see, huh
Despicable me
I’m having a bad bad day
If you take it personal that's okay
Watch this is so fun to see, huh
Despicable me

Why ask why better yet why not
Why are you marking x on that spot
Why use a blow torch isn't that hot?
Why use a chainsaw is that all you got
Why do you like seeing people in shock
But my question to you is why not
Why go to the bank and stand in line
Just use a freeze gun it saves me time

I'm having a bad bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steam rolling whatever I see, huh
Despicable me
I'm having a bad bad day
If you take it personal that's okay
Watch this is so fun to see, huh
Despicable me

Why ask why when this is art
Why parallel when I can just part?
Why does Vector think that he's smart
And does his dad know I know his part
Why did I have to live with my mom
Why do you think that I should be calm
Why want the moon, the World's in my palm

Is it crazy you think I've gone?

I'm having a bad bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steam rolling whatever I see, huh
Despicable me
I'm having a bad bad day
If you take it personal that's okay
Watch this is so fun to see, huh
Despicable me

Excuse me if you will
You look like you have time to kill
Can you chill
'Cause Gru got the speakers and the trunk to make you
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
To make you bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce

I'm having a bad bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steam rolling whatever I see, huh
Despicable me
I'm having a bad bad day
If you take it personal that's okay
Watch this is so fun to see, huh
