Though theGreasesoundtrack is chock-full of hits stirring slow ballads and upbeat sing-along numbers some are more memorable than others.
Some are more intimately tied to the films legacy.
And this list will highlight the top seven songs from the classic movie musical.
Paramount Pictures
Summer Nights
Tell me more!
Like does he have a car!
Their summer romance was blissful.
Their summer romance was intimate.
They developed a connection neither of them prepared for.
Yet, can it hold up in the face of judgmental peers?
What happens when the school bells ring and the Pink Ladies come to sting?
Its oh-so-cheesy, but oh-so-adorable at the same time.
and Rizzos Cause he sounds like a drag.
Youre The One That I Want
Passion.
Mans quest for cinematic-level love.
Womans quest for a worthy lover.
Not to mention, it quickly transitions into a sing-a-long lovey-dovey number.
Its a fun duet between Sandy and Danny.
Greased Lightnin
Some car gibberish and a few lyrics about snagging the ladies paired with memorable choreography.
What could go wrong?
The song even peaked at number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978.
Hopelessly Devoted To You
Olivia Newton Johns vocals on this moving ballad are to die for.
Its a tearjerking tune especially for those with similar lovelorn memories stored up and away.
Who could forget Stockard Channing uttering Wont go to bed til Im legally wed!
with a snide and sarcastic air?
We Go Together
The movies final moment.
Its filled with smiles and tears (of viewers at home).
These high school graduates will go their separate ways, yet they will always go together in their hearts.
There is so much love to go around.
So many memories to reminisce on.
So many late nights at the drive-in and sunny days on the bleachers.
BUT… not without one final hoorah.
One final celebration filled with so much excitement and affection that the words in the dictionary simply dont suffice.
This number gives Rizzo the much-needed three-dimensionality her character would otherwise lack.
But, theres so much more to her than that.
She has a heart that breaks.
She is simply resilient.
Rizzo is strong in the face of judgment and adversity, yet her resiliency does not supplant her vulnerability.
Rizzo is on her own journey, and its one that deserves proper recognition.
Shes also very ahead of her time.
The most reflective and eye-opening song the show has to offer.
