When i was a kid, Grease is one of the movie that often played by uncle in his VHS when he was young. He often imitate the dance and the singing with his friends in colege. Grease is a movie played by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. It's a dance movie and back in the 70's and 80's this movie was a box office hits.
This movie was directed by Randal Kleiser based on a musical by Jim Jacobs' and Warren Casey with the same title (Grease).
This movie tells a love story between two high school student named Danny Zuko (played by John Travolta) and Sandy Olsson(played by Olivia Newton John). They first meet on the summer holiday at the beach. When the summer end Sandy have to go back to australia so they said goodby to each other. By a twist of fate Sandy didn't return to Australia, not only that she also go to the same high school as Danny, this is where the story start.
For me, one of the main attraction in this movie is the dancing. Even today dancing is much much different than dancing back in the 80's it still fun to watch this movie.
Yesterday, as i surf around youtube i found this old Grease clip when John Travolta and Olivia Newton John doing the dance that my uncle used to imitate.
Summer Nights
Summer Nights lyric
Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting away, to oh oh the summer nights
Well-a well-a well-a huh
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?
She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun, but oh oh the summer nights
Well-a well-a well-a huh
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put a fight?
Took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed up 'till ten o'clock
Summer fling, don't mean a thing, but oh oh the summer nights
Well-a well-a well-a huh
Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more
Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly, holding my hand
She got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet just turned eighteen
Well she was good you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more
Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder - that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
Grease Lightning
You're the one that i want
