John Findlay Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Remember queuing up for about a hour and a half outside the Ritz, Rodney Street to see Grease in 1978. RIP Olivia Newton John. You were a good singer. I think I first saw on the Cliff Richard show on the BBC around 1972ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you haven’t seen the film, you know the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad von Carstein Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) There's a couple of Grease songs that when they come on the radio in the car that I can sing along to, word for word. Mrs KvC's face is always a picture at that point. Edited August 10, 2022 by Konrad von Carstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit to freestyling for "We Go Together" but the rest of it, yes - including "Hopelessly Devoted to You", gets a full Knightley blast any time.

Wasn't wanting to lose the little credibility I have by listing them all Hopelessly Devoted Stranded at the Drive In Tell me more etc I'll just delete my account now Not at all embarrassed to say that I don't know how many times I saw that movie during the holidays when it came out.

My sons' school did it as their year end production a few years ago. Most parents go to one performance out of three; I went to all 3. OK, Knightley Minor was one of the minor T-Birds so I had good cause to go more than once (and the school productions are always top notch) but there was probably no excuse for going on the final night with my hair dyed black, gelled back and with a T-Bird logo on the back of my leather jacket. It was worth every second of it when I saw KM stick his head round the stage curtain before the show and saying, "Aww, Fer Fox Ache!!"

Sounds familiar, before they moved him on to Sue Barker. Apart from the obvious, I'm sure they'd have been a lovely couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
