Grease's shortest song is still just as important as the rest of soundtrack because it's how the musical chose to show Sandy deciding to throw away her entire identity to get together with Danny. There's a sad resolution in the lyrics as Sandy sings at the site of Danny's great Greased Lightnin' victory that matches the sadness of what she's decidi...
"Sandy" is essentially Danny Zucko's ode to being rejected by Sandy. And while, on the surface, it's about heartbreak, the reality is that this is a teen sex musical (even if Grease's actor's are a lot older), and what Danny is actually torn up about is not being able to "make it" with his intended girlfriend. He's worried about what people will th...
After the opening number by Frankie Vallie, "Beauty School Drop-Out" boasts the second big cameo in Grease in the shape of late 1950s teen idol Frankie Avalon. The song is also the musical's only real morality lesson, as Frenchy (Didi Conn) wrestles with her future and the looming threat of "blowing it" by not sticking in at school and getting an e...
In some theories on Grease, Sandy is the musical's biggest victim. By the end, she's given up everything that defined her for a boy, including her morals and her straight-edge lifestyle, and her future married to Danny probably isn't all flying cars. But "Hopelessly Devoted To You" is the answer to why she does it: it's the film's bleeding heart an...
Commonly misremembered as being called "Grease Is The Word", the opening credits song - sung by the legendary Frankie Valli - is as good as you'd expect from something created by a Bee Gee (Barry Gibb) and the lead singer of the Four Seasons. And the lyrics offer a potted summary of everything the culture at the heart of Greasestands for: passion, ...
The final song of Grease, which ends triumphantly with an illogical maiden flight by Greased Lightnin' is one of the most famous nonsense songs ever recorded. It's an anthem for the final, heady days of high-school, with the promise of the future yawning ahead and firm agreements that nobody will ever forget their best friends. The reality that the...
Putting aside how inappropriate it is for a school auto-shop class to focus on making a hot rod, "Greased Lightnin'" is Grease's brilliant ode to youthful masculinity and bravado. While the girls are singing about romance and finding their true place, the T-Birds sing about building their iconic vehicle, which is as much about asserting their domin...
Often overlooked as somehow not a Grease song, on account of it being performed as part of the National Dance-Off hosted at Rydell High, "Born To Hand Jive" is easily one of the musical's best-constructed songs. It's also a Broadway original inclusion, rather than just an addition for the movie adaptation, so it deserves its place in any official r...
Arguably Grease's second most famous song, "Summer Nights" speaks to the whole story's focus on conflict - of how Sandy and Danny's worlds collide and leans heavily on the humorous differences in how young men and young women view romance. The collision of crude "locker talk," which never quite goes far enough for the T-Birds to be anything but lud...
While Danny and Sandy are presented as the heroes of Grease, Rizzo is the most important character, because she's the only one who stays true to herself. She's the only one owning the same behavior that basically every other character is singing about and while she's got a nasty streak, she's the product of her treatment. "There Are Worse Things I ...
