I think I dreamed about Grease last night. I had a lot of dreams, and they were very strange.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Happy Birthday Beverly!
And should I be disturbed that Kristin's version of "Hopelessly Devoted to You" queued up and I remembered Every. Stinkin' Word. even though it's been oh, TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS since I was in Grease and it wasn't even my part?
I don't even have the excuse of ever having been in Grease, yet I was singing right along in my head when that first aired.

I've never seen any version of Grease and yet thanks to Olivia N-J, still know every word.

I know all the words because that was a favorite of mine when I used to go to karaoke every week!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've never seen any version of Grease
OMG.
I have seen the movie more times than I care to talk about.

My aunt and uncle, the ones who have dogs named after Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, are taking concealed weapons courses. According to my mother, they're expecting anarchy.

I saw that movie 5 times in the theater when it came out. It wasn't really intentional, and I've never done it since, but, suffice it to say, I have the words to most of the soundtrack memorized.

“It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.”
It's not a show I've seen live but I'm not ashamed to admit I own the DVD and know most of the songs.
Grease is the word!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I've never seen any version of Grease
I was about eight when it came out. My parents asked me if I wanted to go see it. I thought they were asking if I wanted to see Greece. Which, y'know, I did, but I was rather gobsmacked when they went on to explain that they wouldn't be able to go, so I'd have to see it on my own.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have seen the movie more times than I care to talk about.
Oh, me too. I lived with a couple of Grease-lovers in university. One of them took me straight from the airport on a visit to her to the cinema to see the 20th anniversary re-release.
I don't like the movie.
