Lol! Well, I was pretty little when I first saw it which is when it came on tv not when it was first released in the theaters. I think I was 5 or so. When I watch it now I'm like what the heck? They don't look like teenagers at all! 🙄😂🤣
The whole cast were not high schoolers (John Travolta was 24 and Stockard Channing was the oldest person at 34 years old). It’s like what they did for High School Musical (Monique Coleman who was Taylor was actually 25 but LOOKED like a teenager). It’s to avoid child labor laws

Grease was one big sexual innuendo. Scene after scene, line after line. That's a huge part of its charm. A great family movie. The kids are loving the music & the colorful characters while mom & dad sit on the couch, giggling under their breath. I love it so.
John Travolta came from Saturday Night Fever, and the studio wanted to bank on that fame. Kenickie might've been the original singer of the song, but it's hard to picture other than Travolta singing the song.
Why this car could be systematic, hydromatic. ultramatic, why it could be greased lightning! My absolute favorite part in the whole song in this clip from the movie.
QUEEN ELIZABETH WARREN BUFFETT EXCITED FOR THE MORNING I DON'T THINK SO EXCITED ABOUT HOW MUCH KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY DO IT AGAIN BUT I'M SURE YOU THINK YOU THINK SO EXCITED FOR YOU PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE THEN I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THEY DO IT ALL STARTED
@@Simon-fx2mo Yep all day long, this is how I remember it in my universe..it was "Hyyyyyydromatic"...This version does not work...do you know about the Mandela Effect?
***** haha really? Someone needs to open a Greased Lightning auto body for sure. I think I would wreck my car just so I could take it to that auto shop 😆
Sorry I just had to end that. I can't believe a simple light hearted post I meant to be a joke had to turn to that. No offense to anyone who called it out for what it was. 😫
ii_Cinnamon_ii there too but so many ppl who've never even seen glee remember it that way. grease (the movie, she never saw the musical) came out when my mom was a teenager and she remembers the hyyyydromatic too. it just doesn't make sense lol
The soundtrack album used a different take. The background singers are out of key at times on the album version, whereas everybody's on point in the film version.
Proud Harmonizer It's also on the 1978 soundtrack album. The actual take used in the movie was never included on the soundtrack, nor was the film version of "You're the One That I Want."
Jeff Conaway was the second actor to play Danny on stage, after Barry Bostwick. He played the role for two and a half years, with John Travolta joining the cast as Doody. He missed out on playing Danny in the movie, but was given the role of Kenickie. For a while, he was married to Olivia Newton John's sister.
Interesting point (not going to read 5100 comments to see if someone else has said this, btw): In the original Broadway production, Kenickie sang this song. After all, it's HIS car! But during the making of the film, John Travolta thew a fit and INSISTED that his character, Zuko, sing it. Jeff Conaway was really disappointed, and felt that he could have made a bigger impression in the film if his character (Kenickie) sang it. They made a slight compromise by featuring him several times in the routine, but Travolta got his way.
Yeah, I was Kenickie in the play version, and it was very awesome to sing and dance to Greased Lightning. I've always wished the movie was more like the play with Mooning and Magic Changes and the like. It's cool to find someone who agrees with me.
Also the guy who played Kenickie in the movie played Danny on Broadway!

So travolta steals Kenickie's one song, then he steals Kenickie's dance partner and then he takes Kenickie's place driving during the drag race - what a huge prick
I've never really been a fan of the changes made in the movie. In the play, it's more about growing up in the 50's, and not fitting in. In the movie, they make it more about Danny and Sandy. I really enjoy the play, because almost everyone except Sunny and Frenchy get their own song, but in the movie, only Danny, Sandy, and Rizzo get songs. Not to say I don't adore the movie, I just wish they kept Mooning, Freddy My Love, Magic Changes, and of course, All Choked Up.
I went to my friend's high school production of Grease (he played Danny Zuko, for the record) and they had Kenickie take the lead in this, and it made me so happy.
I’m here after I recently thought about Olivia Newton-John, and her tragic death. So sad that the world has lost a marvellous actress. Grease will always be one of her biggest hits. God Bless you, Olivia. 🙏🏽❤️
+Drewski Vanderbilt; my thoughts exactly.... I always thought it was dubbed by someone else. Although, Travolta made a big deal about performing this song?
The songwriter knew what they were talking about! "Hydromatic" is the name of a particular automatic transmission design. IIRC, it was used by old Hudson cars, such as the Hornet.
I literally just noticed for the first time the other mechanics in the room just standing there gaping, wondering what the hell's going on when they first start singing :D
This film was so part of my childhood when my parents introduced it to me, one Xmas then became a yearly watch from then on. Then remember doing the grease lighting dance at family parties and in youth clubs, in the 90s. Rip in Olivia you were a legend and made the film.
When I was a kid waaaaaay back in 1981, me and my little friends used to sing this out on the playground....we didn't know the lyrics, but I remember making up our own. Years later in middle school/high school I too was a bit taken back by the actual lyrics of this song, haha. My wife had a similar story...only for her she would sing the 'Sandra Dee" song...... a couple times the right way, and her mom tricked her into singing alternate lyrics, haha.
I am 26 years old & still dance like this & really get a lot of comments on it too it seems like I am the most popular boy(guy) in the neighborhood & in our Apt complex (my roommates & me)
I was the perfect age for this movie. I sang all those songs at the top of my lungs and had no idea what I was saying. Not until many years later did I realize that, no, they didn't mean the car would purr like a pussycat. And no, they weren't saying, "The chicks'll scream." Ah, the innocence, friends!
+Tommiegirl G exact lyrics: "You are supreme. The chicks'll cream". And when I first red those lyrics at 8 years old, I thought the words "chicks'll cream" were referring to some car part or mechanical thing. Innocence. It wasn't until years later, I knew what the hell was being said. Yikes..........
Not until I was in the play in high school many years later did I realize how full of innuendo that movie was... reading through the script for the first time made me laugh like a fool. And I played Rizzo, no less, so of course half my lines were cut - but at least at eighteen I understood why. Good times!
***** Dude, I dont give a shit about him aging, HE'S the one clinging to his youth with a hairpiece, not me. When I finally go bald, I'm just gonna shave this shit off instead of having sad tufts of hair
skillcoiler I'm sure you watch a lot of videos, right? And you've seen Wrecking Ball? And Anaconda? And you've probably sung along with Outkast's Hey Ya! maybe? (I don't know what kind of music you like or listen to, so that's making it hard for me to give you a good answer here...) All of those together are "worse" in terms of what's more "vulgar or sex crazed" than this movie, according to people who think like that. (I don't... It's entertainment. If you don't like it, stop watching. But that's just me.)
The funniest part is, "greased lightning" was old slang for using cling wrap in place of a condom. That was the subtext of the song.. obvious in the original musical, but totally played down in the movie for "moral" reasons. Eg, look from 2:25 ;)
This song was my favorite when I was 9 and I was always singing it. Never realized just what exactly I was singing. Rofl cant believe my parents let me sing this! They probably got a kick out of me singing "The chicks will cream" and "Its a real pussy wagon" Sick bastards.
YOU GAVE ME A FUCKING IDEA!!!! What about if we create a Mechanic Taller with music? Where you fix Cars singing and dancing? (Unless if you are below the car because if someone gets inside or Up can Falls and kill you)
i’m sorry but i have to admit i’ve always had the BIGGEST crush on Kenicky and Danny bc look at them 😍😍 and the veins in Kenickies neck in the beginning had me dead
Ahh the ever going fight between lyricists and choreographers. Lyrics: manly and at times sexist Choreography: quite possibly the most homoerotic thing you'll see on youtube
Love this scene, always have its a high- octane performance. Travolta was brilliant in fact the whole gang were terrific. Most of the high school re-productions of this scene unfortunately do not put enough energy into it, but then that's up to their music teachers isn't it ? Anyway this film was one of the greatest musicals ever made .
