This was my childhood. It makes me sad to know it over and I'll never be able to go back. It was wonderful and magical. I think...it was the best we will have ever experienced....before the world changed forever to what we have today....everything feels the same now
I just heard this on the radio again and I was thinking, "Did the BeeGees actually sing this song???" And then I looked at the info and saw Frankie Valli. Thanks for confirming my first instinct.
The Gibb's were ruling the charts back then with the success of Saturday Night Fever, Andy Gibb having solo success with the help of his brothers, and this.
The fact it has a disco beat and such a powerful opening, mixed with lyrics about youth culture in the 50's and the legend Frankie Valli makes this feel like a time travel song - you're going from the 1970's back to the 50's. Perfect opener for the movie, and my favourite song from it to this day, ever since I played the hell out of the CD at 7 years old!
This track is interesting in that it is openly from the time the movie came out and has that disco sound, unlike the rest of the songs emulating 50s music.
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 the present of the story or the present of the film production? I'll admit I was only talking about the musical style rather than the lyrical content. :)
Grease was written by Barry Gibb which he could have sang it for the movie, but he decided to give it to Frankie Valli because Valli was his favorite pop singer and felt the movie needed someone from that era to sing the song. Valli had the choice of singing the theme song Grease or appearing in the movie and singing Beauty School Dropout. He made the right choice and the rest is history.
I was a college football player in the 80’s. During fall camp getting ready for the morning practice, 5:30 a.m., in the locker room, we had a 300 lb offensive lineman that would play this song every morning. Beaten, tired and feeling down, when he bellowed out “yes” at the start of the song it always got me pumped up and ready for practice.
Que buena musica, soy peruano y me siento orgulloso de escuchar buena musica. Esta fue letra fue una creacion de THE BEE GUEES, Grupo que tambien AMO!!
I believe Barry Gibbs ( writer & background Vocals ) and Frankie Valli ( Lead Vocals ) did a excellent job of making this great song in a great partnership way!
El Gato Gordo I was born a year later 😂 But this song and the movie was popular among the kids in the 80s also, I think I was maybe 6 when I saw this the first time and wanted to be like Sandy and had a crush on Danny 😍😍😍 Grease is indeed one of the best movies ❤️❤️❤️
My grandfather graduated highschool in 78 and he always tells me how great it was being a teen in the 70s, the cars, the music, the people, makes me wanna invent time travel
This movie doesn't do much for me, but I LOVE this song. Groovin' music and lyrics by Barry Gibb with a smooth vocal by Frankie Valli is a recipe for a hot track!
I thought this song sounded very Bee Gees! I didn't know it was written by one of them but I just listened to a Bee Gees song and it made me think of this one.
“There is a chance that we can make it so far, we start believing now, we can be who we are…” Greaser or not, you have to admit that line is pretty inspiring.
Yes, the lyrics are really applicable right now, in a world ass backwards, yeah we have gone to far, love is a growing pain in a world twisted and you know what you get when the trains run off the rails ........a Trainwreck!!!
listening to this on August 9 2022 after learning of Olivia NJ's passing. Timeless......R.I.P Olivia Newton John.......There is a chance that we can make it so far....
@@markslinger9042 It seems that way due to how you have a bias based off of how that would have been you in your younger years. Everyone looks back at their childhood and teen years as the better days of their live, so long as they weren’t born in a shit hole during war or something. You look at it positively for a number of reasons such as how you always remember the better occurrences when you look back on things or how life was so basic when in reality, that was because you had no responsibilities, not because of what year it was and the setting of society around you.
I can vividly remember laying by the swimming pool listening to this song when it was newly released on the radio. I still love it today and that was a 1978
I’m here because a few days ago I saw the first I think 15 minutes of Grease for the first time and I heard the song playing and I was like “what is this song?” And I just really liked it and liked the whole little cartoon at the beginning of Grease period. It’s so catchy!!!
I was born in 1993 and yet when I was 16 I easily fell in love with it and many many classic gems by both Franki Valli and the Four Seasons as well as many other countless classic great singers and bands from the 50s 60s 70s 80s & 90s
What a very great classic in the year 1978. The movie was one of my favorite back then. I went out to purchase the 45 back then because i couldn't afford the album but my brother Frank had it so i used his album. Fantastic memories than and also today that you never forget. 0:34 I keep singing grease is the word.
Watched grease for the first time yesterday and absolutely fell in love. One of my favourite songs in the entire movie! I'm so happy to have finally seen this musical.
I'm 36 years old wasn't born in the era I will tell u this I wish I was all the music was absolutely wonderful and people back then had so much talent nothing like today ....❤

Man! Olivia Newton John and this ( Frankie Vali) song was so dope I begged my mom to let me stay and watch it again to hear this song and Olivia lol Moms introduced me to Frankie Vali & four seasons as well.
Funny you mention because I am learning drums and had a go at this last night... didn't realize before but some of the hi-hat stuff is actually really subtly hard, very nice, smooth playing with a perfect pocket. Lots of poise. Definitely couldn't recreate it as well myself, of course!
I’ve never seen this movie start to finish, but I LOVE this song. It’s magical and has a tinge of melancholia for me, as it reminds me of my youth in the 70’s.
I think this the best song in the movie honestly
RarityMoon Me too :))
100% agree and it's not really close either
That’s because it is
RarityMoon
I agree !
I did like one of their musical numbers.
I am a black man from Detroit 48 years old. This song has nothing but soul in it. I love it, and I love it one of,,,, My favorite song.
Many greetings to Detroit 🎉
Facts! Great song
I'm a white guy from Groningen 47 years old. Not that my colour matters nor should it. This song rocks.
Frankie was nearly deaf when he sang this. Pure muscle memory in his vocal cords. Amazing man.
I am a brown man from the Southern Caribbean and it's one of my favorites too!
As a 54 year old all I can say this song works as a medicine, healing, nothing but goodness and great memories ❤
as a 29 year old, i can say the same thing... and the memories is just about the movie that a use to watch with my dad
as a 15 year old i can say my father has grown me up right and i respect this song being the best in the movie
Me too..55.. it's a dose
35, and love the good old songs. Music makes the world go round❤
Totally awesome
The legacy of The Bee Gees is amazing.
Bee Gees??? It's Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons

Barry Gibb has at least 3 songs in the top 20 songs of all time.

Barry Gibb is why
A homage to 50's Greaser culture juxtaposed with a 70's disco infused beat. One of Barry Gibb's finest tunes. Love it !
sounds like funk to me
Have to agree.
Oh is that Sooo😃
It's not Barry Gibb though can you read bro? Lol
@@jamiepasquariello2652he wrote the song smartass 🙄
Written by The Bee Gees with input from Peter Frampton, and with Frankie Valli on vocals, it would be impossible for this to not be amazing

Memorable song.I heard it ,for first time in the late 70s and has stuck with me ever since.
I thought it was the Bee Gees!

For a 70s movie about the 50s nostalgia it made soundtrack history.

This is the best song I've heard in ages.

Esta música tocou muito nos bons tempos da discotecas. Tempo que faziam musicas de qualidades.
Agree ;3 As a Spanish speaker I could understand you
Didn't the Bee Gees write this ? Amazing. They absolutely owned the year 1978.
Is anyone else just loving the drumming in this band? That guy is so solid. Who's s gonna love you shows off his talent even more. Amazing!
Funny you mention because I am learning drums and had a go at this last night... didn't realize before but some of the hi-hat stuff is actually really subtly hard, very nice, smooth playing with a perfect pocket. Lots of poise. Definitely couldn't recreate it as well myself, of course!
yeah, I love those hi hats, the subtle triplets. The drummer was Ron 'Tubby' Ziegler.
There was nostalgia for the 50's in the 70's, I'm nostalgic for the 70's today.
