"Grease is the word... is the word... is the word...."

"Beauty School Dropout"

I shamelessly pick "Hopelessly Devoted to You".

Frankie Valli (with bros gibb) takes this.

"Beauty School Dropout"

^^ this or 'grease'.

songs added for the film: "grease," "hopelessly devoted to you," "you're the one that i want," "sandy." cheers to hollywood money men saying 'we need a single!'

Heavy rotation of "Hopelessly..." at the radio station I worked at at the time forced me to alter the 45's label to read "Hopelessly Devo To You."

My wife is actually a fan of Grease II, hence my knowledge of most of the lyrics to "We're gonna boooowl tonite!!"

frank e. valley by a landslide.

otm. gibb was a genius. he was like a fucking massive-hit-single atm back then.

yeah that's a great song and it's cool that the actual theme song to this movie is a complete disco track and not a 50's throwback piece

It irritates me that the songs are in a different sequence on the album compared to the film. I want the song order on the album to match the song order of the film.

I voted for "You're The One That I Want", because you can sing it drunk at a kareoke bar and it'll still sound good. You could even sing it drunk at a kareoke bar while yodelling with solids and it would still sound good...

I was gonna try to do a poll of non-Bee Gees Barry Gibb songs,(or at least those ones not originally popularized by the Bee Gees) but I was having trouble finding a comprehensive list of them online. I'll try again, though...I was probably just being lazy in my searching strategies or something.

Like putting "Love Is A..." at the very end rather than the beginning? That is weird indeed. Even weirder that "Grease" itself appears twice - no doubt they didn't want to make it difficult for disco DJs to drop the needle at the very start.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i fucking hate this movie, but..."summer nights"

I didn't see "We Go Together" at first, so I went with "Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee" - only for the reference in the first Mr. Bungle album's lyric sheet.

I fucking love this movie and I voted "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" for being the criminally overlooked ballad and for Rizz being phwoaaaar.

How many times have a been in a punk club at 2 in morning and looked across the room to find a bunch of hardass tattooed bettypagecoifed chicks entranced by VH1 rebroadcast? More than a few times. Its the secret history of psychobilly and garage punk: if the gals didn't come by their first crushes backed by the pseudo50s sound, the boys wouldn't have had so much encouragement to play it.

"You're the One That I Want" mixes rollerdisco and rollederby the best.

both the movie and play are pretty dumb but the movie is a lot more retarded than the play. the songs penned for the movie didn't even fit the time period it took place in (Hopelessly Devoted and You're the One That I Want)

you think that's bad the songs in jesus christ superstar aren't even in aramaic.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Of course, Grease is the hotness. But I kinda wish that Sandy or Stranded at the Drive-In had received a single vote. But, in democracy you only get 1 vote, yo. (per login).

me too.

I didn't vote, but would almost have had trouble finding anything worth voting for.

The original "Grease" songs are all boring late 50s/early 60s Brill Bulding/doo-wop, so obviously none of them. Means it'd have to be one of the three newly written 1978 songs and I guess I'd gone for "Hopelessly Devoted To You".
