R.I.P Olivia Newton-John. You were a true legend, both in this classic and life. Sandy would be proud of all you've accomplished in your later years, Olivia. Grease is still one of the best musicals ever produced. A true fighter to the end!
I must disagree. Greatest opening credit ever was SUPERMAN (1978). GREASE is #2. I watched both movies with my parents in the cinema when they came out. I was only 6, and they were the first movies I ever watched. ruclips.net/video/Rk1aQx9hTaE/видео.html

Quick story me and my little brother would always play this song on the first day of school we would wake up early and play this song over and over again while we got dressed for years it was our favourite song it would get us pumped up hahaha good times.
Few cool facts about this song. It was written by Barry Gibb but he decided to have Frankie Valli sing it because he thought people were getting burnt out on his vocals after Saturday Night Fever and Frankie and Barry sing in the same range. Peter Frampton is playing guitar. Frankie Valli didn’t even have a record deal when he sang this. He signed with Warner’s and this song sold 8 million copies.
Thank you for posting this info, patton303. I was about 8 years old when the movie was out. Was just about to start to googling 'cause i was SO sure in my (false) memory of this being a Bee Gees tune, lol !!
I was dragged to this movie by my older sister In ‘78 when I was 7 and it has stayed with me since. Glad I was part of history of being able to see such a classic when it first came out and I can say, “I was there.”
That's really funny my mother bought me this album Right after it was released and I was also 7 years old. Me and my friends used to dance around the house to it.
Haha coincidentally I was also 3 when it came out. The first I heard it was later when my cousins had the soundtrack on vinyl, and it gives me a lot of nostalgia still whenever I hear it.
@Caleb Nicholson So I'm not the only person who thinks someone in the animation department did her dirty. Chill man theres only so many things to talk about in a short animation segment.
@@LedosKell Sure compared to Olivia Neuton John its not the same ballpark but she wasn't terrible either. The animator makes it look like she's suffering from a peanut allergy
I was just a little kid at the time, but I can recall the nostalgia for it, and I didnt apprecite the 50's style bands that were around at the time , that I now love such as SHAWADDYWADDY and DARTS.
Everytime I hear this it brings back nostalgic feelings of the 80's here in London when I was a kid & life was free easy & always sunny, love this & the movie soo much
This probably makes me sound REALLY old haha, but I actually saw this film at the drive-in with my family as a young child back in the late 70s when it was a new release. This opening song and title sequence is one of the most potent memories I have of that great period in time and it takes me straight back there. I remember playing on the drive in playground before the film started in my pyjamas. We then went to the candy bar for a choc top before settling in to the movie. I also saw Star Wars at the same drive in! Going to the movies was a big deal back then. At the cinema, there was always a short feature and then an interval before the main feature. Everyone clapped and cheered at the end of the film. This clapping stopped around the mid 80s when video stores became prominent.
@@GAVACHO5150 The movies were so magical to me when I was a kid in the 80s. So much has changed. Now people in the theaters don't even watch the movies, because they're obsessed with their phones, or they just talk through the film. It's so sad. It will never be the same.

I wasn't even born when Grease was released. My parents were kids or teenagers when this movie was released. I was born in 1999 and I grew up watching this movie with my parents. My mom passed away back in 2014 due to cancer but I watch this movie all the time when it's on with my dad. We both went to see Grease the live Broadway musical/show together.
2:36 In December 1977, Barry Gibb and his brothers, The Bee Gees, exploded to the top of the music scene with the soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever", 6 months later, Barry Gibb's song, "Grease" tops the charts, again.

Went to the movies with my wife and children to watch Grease again after some time, and we were both so happy to have made that choice. So much nostalgia came back to us, we were both almost the only one singing and swinging about, even when we left we were singing and swinging about. We had such a great time. This is a classical movie that'll remain the best forever!
Hoy se cumplen dos años sin Olivia Newton John. Gracias por marcar a cada generación el espíritu artístico y musical de cada quien. "Grease" era para las generaciones pasadas como el "High School Musical" de las generaciones actuales. "Sandy" (Olivia Newton John) era para las generaciones pasadas como "Gabriela" (Vanessa Hudgens) de las generaciones actuales. Gracias por marcar un antes y un después. QEPD

The shot during the animation opening of Sandy (Oliva) at her vanity with Bambi and Thumper nuzzling up to her was brilliant beyond words! It tells the audience everything they need to know about the "too good to be true" loveliness of the new girl in school in an extremely funny and clever way.
I was 10 yrs old in 1978 ! I remember going to see grease in the summer of 78 ! At a drive in . In the late 70,s had some really good classics like this one ! I’m glad I got the chance to go see it .
😢 me da una nostalgia brutal... vi la pelicula de Grease cuando salio en el cine... cuando era un niño.. creci en esa epoca.. y cuando murio Olivia Newton John.... la llore como si fuese de mi familia.... hermosos recuerdos❤
One of the best opening scenes to any movie, ever! Classic song and animation! I'll always remember watching Grease back in "The good ol days". I don't know if it's my life or the times but when I reflect on this movie it makes me nostalgic. Simpler, safer and even happier times. This will always be a classic song and movie!
I would have been 12 years old when this came out in the summer of '78. Going into the 8th grade. This movie was magical to me. I remember walking to the theater to see it by myself from my grandmother's house and loving it so much I slunk down in my chair to see it a second time and about 40 minutes into the movie my mom coming in and dragging me out. I forgot about the animated intro. Love this song, too, and having Frankie Valli sing it was awesome!
Grease is and will always be the word !! I remember you watching this movie with my family at my grandma’s island house on Block Island, RI as a little girl - and yes my cousins, sister, and I could handle it though we were young ! my grandma was a teen in the 50s so it was even more interesting and fun to watch the movie with her because she would tell us even more about what it was like - I still remember it and I’m now 18 and my grandma is in her 80s , I wish we could watch again with her when COVID is over !!
I'am very sad because of the death of Olivia.... I don't know how many times I used to listen her grease'song when I was a little girl... thank you for having make me dream
I remember the first time I saw this movie. I went my gmas house and she was at the prom part, so I watched it from there till the end and then immediately watched it from the beginning. It's been my fav ever since!
8/22/2023. I'm a FedEx carrier,this song came on the radio station I was listening too today. So I turned it up. It put me in a good mood. Grease is definitely an Epic flick. 😎
At the time Grease came out in the theaters in 1978, I was 9 years old and being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional household. As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of TV and went to the movies as a way of providing myself with escape and comfort from my misery. Back then I was going to the movies with my then best friend. We were a couple of fanatics about the movies. We talked, read, ate, drank, and slept the movies. And we went to the movies together once a week, every week for a lot of years from the 1970s-1980s. We saw literally hundreds upon hundreds of movies over the years. We tried to see every new movie that came out regardless of plot, genre (he loved horror films, I preferred comedy), critics reviews, who was starring in it, etc. So there was no particular reason we went to see Grease. It just happened to be a new movie that was just released. As much as I loved the moviegoing experience in itself, as an abused, neglected child, there were a small handful of movies that stood out and managed to hit me in the very right places at the very right time. Grease was one of those movies. Right from my very first viewing, it quickly became one of my all time favorite movies and remains that to this day. In the following years, I purchased the soundtrack album, the fotonovel, and whenever Grease popped up on tv, I'd drop everything to watch it. Today I own the movie on DVD. So, I say to the creators and the cast and crew of Grease, from the bottom of the heart of an abused boy, thank you all so very, very much.
Just watched it with my mother who went to watch it when it got released in theaters. A TV channel decided to put this movie on in honor of Olivia Newton-John. I enjoyed and she had a blast remembering those times while watching with me. And I couldn't but end smiling and paying my respects to Olivia. Thanks to her, and the acting of Travolta and the other actors, this movie became a timeless Masterpiece. God Bless Olivia (1948- 2022).
Un clásico, la encontré por 1era vez en 2007 cuando yo tenía 17 en esa época.. hoy tengo 33 años. La peli es de 1978. Un clásico y los hits también.!!! 😊😊😊😊
Absolutely one of my favorite songs ever. I knew it before, but I remember blasting it in a rental car on my way to St. Pete Beach, after I landed in Tampa airport, for a vacation. Now this song always reminds me of that night, 75 degrees, palm trees all around, the smell of the Florida air, and the blissful happiness of being free from work for 2 weeks. Just nostalgia at its finest.
My dad got me the Grease soundtrack on vinyl a few Christmases ago. There’s nothing like hearing the needle scratch and this opening song filling my apartment.
Everytime I watch this I think they did Rizzo dirty with that cartoon rendition of her 😂 I love this song though. I used to watch this movie everyday as a child.
I hope that people in the future look back at older films from the 70s 80s and 90s and appreciate the amount of intricate detail/attention to detail put into the film as a whole
This is the Main Brain, Vince Fontaine, beginning your day in the only way, music, music, music. Get out of bed, it's the first day of school, don't be a slob, don't get a job, go back to class, you can pass. And to start the day off nice and fine, I'm gonna play a new old favourite of mine.
3:05 I am amazed no one has mentioned that epic final flourish of the strings and horns that finishes this wonderful song perfectly. Brings ME back every single time. I gotta go watch the movie again now!!!
Cada que veo esta intro recuerdo aquella epoca cuando tenia 8 años y mi mama ponia esta pelicula para que me durmiera, aquellos tiempos nunca regresaran, como quisiera estar en esa epoca donde toso era mas traquilo, tqm mamá
Grew up in the 80’s and 90’s , went to raves, seen The Cure, INXS, the oils, rads, Angels but this song always takes me back to my born family being together and everyone being happy to sit and watch Grease. Even though we’d seen it over and over. Times were much simpler then.
amo y adoró,esta canción siempre será la mejor John Travolta es de mis actores favoritos, Gracias a mi mamá que me inculcó esta maravillosa música,la película es genial yo la tengo aunque no la veo mucho ya que mis hermanas se la sepan en la televisión siempre

Really 1 of the Best Musicall movie ever, which Made John Travolta a BIG STAR!!! What a chemistry between John Travolta and Olivia Newton - John 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
She was 34 years old when this movie was filmed in 1977-78 and she was cast as a 17 year old high school girl. Stockard should just thank her lucky stars she wasn't cast as the lesbian PE teacher.
@ Olivia Newton was 30 years old too, Jamie Connelly was 31 years old too, and all the actors and actress was more big than the students of high school, so Stockard was amazing in the movie and so please don't be offensive 😌
Unpopular opinion - easily the best song in the entire musical
You spelled ‘fact’ wrong
no doubt.
No question
I agree!!!
Yes although it wasn't in the original stage production, it was added for the movie
"IT'S YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.
DON'T BE A SLOB, DON'T GET A JOB.
GO BACK TO CLASS, YOU CAN PASS."
I love that line

And start the day off nice & fine, we're going to play new ol favorite of mine 😃😃😃
I was 24 years old when Grease was launched. Today at 67 years old, this tune still makes me feel great. Grease is still the word in 2022.
ABSOLUTELY.
My parents were in high school when it came out. Their first date was seeing this movie at the local drive-in. Such an iconic musical.
I was 16 then. Love it and I just saw it again. I am thinking of organizing a GREASE NIGHT if I can find a suitable place!

The story is developed end of the 50's with a song with rhythm and sound of the end of the 70's.
Yet it works so well.
I was gonna say, it’s pretty amazing how this song sounds both 50s and 70s at the same time, and is brilliant to boot

This is a life of illusion Wrapped up in trouble
Laced with confusion What are we doing here?
We take the pressure and we throw away

Went to the movies with my wife and children to watch Grease again after some time, and we were both so happy to have made that choice. So much nostalgia came back to us, we were both almost the only one singing and swinging about, even when we left we were singing and swinging about. We had such a great time. This is a classical movie that'll remain the best forever!
I was about two years old when this movie came out. And now I’m 46 years old and I still love this song !!
Hoy se cumplen dos años sin Olivia Newton John. Gracias por marcar a cada generación el espíritu artístico y musical de cada quien. "Grease" era para las generaciones pasadas como el "High School Musical" de las generaciones actuales. "Sandy" (Olivia Newton John) era para las generaciones pasadas como "Gabriela" (Vanessa Hudgens) de las generaciones actuales. Gracias por marcar un antes y un después. QEPD
1:39 bro why they do stockard channing like that, whoever drew her caricature didnt like her or something lmao
Right
I laughed so hard when that popped 😂
darkwebenthusiast ROIIIIGGT???? I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT AS A KID
Lmao I’ve always thought the same thing. How tf did that get ok’d?
Cause her character was something of a shit disturber
Brilliant song there's no end to Barry Gibbs's talents. Sung brilliantly by Frankie Valli. Brilliant movie as well
I solve my problems, and I see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
They think our love is just a growing pain
Why don't they understand, it's just a crying shame
Their lips are lying, only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel
Grease is the word
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
We take the pressure, and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
It's got groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now Grease is the way we are feeling
This is a life of illusion
Wrapped up in trouble (Trouble)
Laced with confusion
What are we doing here?
We take the pressure, and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are (Be who we are)
Grease is the word
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now Grease is the way we are feeling
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got a groove, it's got meaning (Got meaning)
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now Grease is the way we are feeling
Grease is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word

I WAS 18 YEARS OLD IN 1978 AND WENT TO SEE THIS MOVIE IN EAST LOS ANGELES!!!! IM 64 YEARS OLD NOW!! STILL LOVE THIS SONG!!
Wow, what a time to be alive! What do you remember about LA in the 70’s? Were your high school years like this?
The shot during the animation opening of Sandy (Oliva) at her vanity with Bambi and Thumper nuzzling up to her was brilliant beyond words! It tells the audience everything they need to know about the "too good to be true" loveliness of the new girl in school in an extremely funny and clever way.
I was 10 yrs old in 1978 ! I remember going to see grease in the summer of 78 ! At a drive in . In the late 70,s had some really good classics like this one ! I’m glad I got the chance to go see it .
I saw it when it first came out at a drive in too! I was eight.
You’re the same age as my dad.
😢 me da una nostalgia brutal... vi la pelicula de Grease cuando salio en el cine... cuando era un niño.. creci en esa epoca.. y cuando murio Olivia Newton John.... la llore como si fuese de mi familia.... hermosos recuerdos❤
R.I.P. Olivia Newton-John, you'll always be a legend
One of the best opening scenes to any movie, ever! Classic song and animation! I'll always remember watching Grease back in "The good ol days". I don't know if it's my life or the times but when I reflect on this movie it makes me nostalgic. Simpler, safer and even happier times. This will always be a classic song and movie!
It objectively wasn't safer, crime was way higher back then. And then there's the whole racism, sexism, homophobia thing
Idk
The 70s had mad serial killers from the sounds of it

I love this song & the movie 😍

When I first watched Grease, I saw the hair grease come out and said, “That’s some weird-looking toothpaste!”
SAME!!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
@Vanguarded_Heart 117 its not pomade, its called brylcreem, its kinda like pomade in looks but has no hold at all and way higher shine then pomade
I would have been 12 years old when this came out in the summer of '78. Going into the 8th grade. This movie was magical to me. I remember walking to the theater to see it by myself from my grandmother's house and loving it so much I slunk down in my chair to see it a second time and about 40 minutes into the movie my mom coming in and dragging me out. I forgot about the animated intro. Love this song, too, and having Frankie Valli sing it was awesome!
RIP Olivia. You will always be remembered as the beautiful woman that you are. Shed tears on hearing the terribly sad news. We all love you.
I'm 32 now, but this movie and its music always takes me back to my nostalgic childhood days.
I was born 20 years after this was made and I love it! Easily one of the best music in a movie!!!
I was born only a year after and I couldn’t agree more
I was born 15 years after
I was born 4 years after and still love this movie. 😊
Grease has and always will be the word
R.I.P. Olivia Newton-John
As a kid… this was the best part of the film.
Grease is and will always be the word !! I remember you watching this movie with my family at my grandma’s island house on Block Island, RI as a little girl - and yes my cousins, sister, and I could handle it though we were young ! my grandma was a teen in the 50s so it was even more interesting and fun to watch the movie with her because she would tell us even more about what it was like - I still remember it and I’m now 18 and my grandma is in her 80s , I wish we could watch again with her when COVID is over !!
30 years old.
Still a Modern Greaser.
Saw this in 1998 and know all the songs.
Grease will always be the word.
I saw it in 2008 and I’ll be 30 next month
You killed the singer though Tony...
I'am very sad because of the death of Olivia.... I don't know how many times I used to listen her grease'song when I was a little girl... thank you for having make me dream
I was born in 92 so this was definitely before my time but I grew up watching this & it's still one of my favorite movies.
I’m a 93 baby and seen this movie 10 times. I discovered it when I was 15
1978 I was 13 years old I still love this movie 2022 I'm 57 years old still watching this movie with my Grandkids
I remember the first time I saw this movie. I went my gmas house and she was at the prom part, so I watched it from there till the end and then immediately watched it from the beginning. It's been my fav ever since!
Times were simpler back then. I miss those times.

8/22/2023. I'm a FedEx carrier,this song came on the radio station I was listening too today. So I turned it up. It put me in a good mood. Grease is definitely an Epic flick. 😎
Thanks for the delivers.
At the time Grease came out in the theaters in 1978, I was 9 years old and being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional household. As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of TV and went to the movies as a way of providing myself with escape and comfort from my misery.
Back then I was going to the movies with my then best friend. We were a couple of fanatics about the movies. We talked, read, ate, drank, and slept the movies. And we went to the movies together once a week, every week for a lot of years from the 1970s-1980s. We saw literally hundreds upon hundreds of movies over the years.
We tried to see every new movie that came out regardless of plot, genre (he loved horror films, I preferred comedy), critics reviews, who was starring in it, etc. So there was no particular reason we went to see Grease. It just happened to be a new movie that was just released.
As much as I loved the moviegoing experience in itself, as an abused, neglected child, there were a small handful of movies that stood out and managed to hit me in the very right places at the very right time. Grease was one of those movies. Right from my very first viewing, it quickly became one of my all time favorite movies and remains that to this day. In the following years, I purchased the soundtrack album, the fotonovel, and whenever Grease popped up on tv, I'd drop everything to watch it. Today I own the movie on DVD.
So, I say to the creators and the cast and crew of Grease, from the bottom of the heart of an abused boy, thank you all so very, very much.
Thanks for sharing your memories... greetings...
Just watched it with my mother who went to watch it when it got released in theaters.
A TV channel decided to put this movie on in honor of Olivia Newton-John.
I enjoyed and she had a blast remembering those times while watching with me.
And I couldn't but end smiling and paying my respects to Olivia.
Thanks to her, and the acting of Travolta and the other actors, this movie became a timeless Masterpiece.
God Bless Olivia (1948- 2022).
Is always one of the best moment and experience when we can watched movies together with our parents, forever unforgettable memories !
Question
Is the channel that played the movie channel 4 by any chance?
because I saw that movie on the day she died as well on channel 4
@@FrenchFriesrGoodNo, it was Channel 1 on the Spain TV
Soy una adolescente de 17 años que amo la película de grease al igual que la canción del intro ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mi hermana lo amo desde los 14 años (es decir, 2005)
Tú muy bien es un súper clásico ❤
X 2
Yo tengo 16 la escuche cuando era pequeño y me sigue gustando xd
Un clásico, la encontré por 1era vez en 2007 cuando yo tenía 17 en esa época.. hoy tengo 33 años. La peli es de 1978. Un clásico y los hits también.!!! 😊😊😊😊
Absolutely one of my favorite songs ever. I knew it before, but I remember blasting it in a rental car on my way to St. Pete Beach, after I landed in Tampa airport, for a vacation. Now this song always reminds me of that night, 75 degrees, palm trees all around, the smell of the Florida air, and the blissful happiness of being free from work for 2 weeks. Just nostalgia at its finest.
What year was that? What do you remember most about the 70’s?
Rip Olivia... time turn everything to dust but memory... and you'll be remembered
Great words 👏
can't believe Sandy passed on.. God Bless Olivia Newton John.
My dad got me the Grease soundtrack on vinyl a few Christmases ago. There’s nothing like hearing the needle scratch and this opening song filling my apartment.
Everytime I watch this I think they did Rizzo dirty with that cartoon rendition of her 😂 I love this song though. I used to watch this movie everyday as a child.
How big was that hickie from Kenickie?
You can practically smell the cocaine these animators were on.

Oh you know it was the good shit. The Paramount Pictures Primo, baby. God damn, what a decade.
I hope that people in the future look back at older films from the 70s 80s and 90s and appreciate the amount of intricate detail/attention to detail put into the film as a whole
The best and the greatest soundtrack in history number one on my list

This movie is WAY better than Grease 2. Got a great songs in there and the actors had acting so wonderfully.
anything is better than Grease 2. Who asked so a sequel to grease anyways?
Didn't Grease 2 flop?
The Batman pretty sure it did
Grease 2 sucked, should never have been made.
MissJools11 agreed unfortunately Michelle Pfeiffer was in it lol
Just watched Grease this for the first time today and I absolutely loved it.
Damn, this song is good.
RIP Olivia Newton John! Grease wouldn't have been the same without you.
Cada que veo esta intro recuerdo aquella epoca cuando tenia 8 años y mi mama ponia esta pelicula para que me durmiera, aquellos tiempos nunca regresaran, como quisiera estar en esa epoca donde toso era mas traquilo, tqm mamá
Grew up in the 80’s and 90’s , went to raves, seen The Cure, INXS, the oils, rads, Angels but this song always takes me back to my born family being together and everyone being happy to sit and watch Grease. Even though we’d seen it over and over. Times were much simpler then.
amo y adoró,esta canción siempre será la mejor
John Travolta es de mis actores favoritos,
Gracias a mi mamá que me inculcó esta maravillosa música,la película es genial yo la tengo aunque no la veo mucho ya que mis hermanas se la sepan en la televisión siempre

Fun fact the movie was originally supposed to be animated.
That's interesting!

Ahora entendemos porque pego tanto esa moda buenas epocas que no . viviremos los dela nueva .....saludos que tema 🔥🔥👏👏🎵🎶🎼🎼🎶📺📼
Poor Stockard Channing...
conaway did't get any favors either... lulz
She was 34 years old when this movie was filmed in 1977-78 and she was cast as a 17 year old high school girl. Stockard should just thank her lucky stars she wasn't cast as the lesbian PE teacher.
@ Olivia Newton was 30 years old too, Jamie Connelly was 31 years old too, and all the actors and actress was more big than the students of high school, so Stockard was amazing in the movie and so please don't be offensive 😌
Way too ugly alongside Olivia Newton John
