Grease may have hit theaters 40 years ago, but its music still has a place in our hearts.
With the unbeatable combination of Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, a stellar cast of supporting characters, a classic (although admittedly problematic) story of young love, and the relentless charm of the ’70s high school back drop, Grease was always going to be something special.
However, it was the catchy songs and delightful dance numbers that pushed it over the top and made it something that will live on in pup culture forever. Grease was one of the first movie musicals to grab the attention of the masses, and it’s still captivating us, to this day.
The movie, based on the musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, premiered on June 16, 1978, which makes this its 40th anniversary! It featured most of the same music from the stage musical and the most iconic performances of all your favorite numbers. In honor of the fact that we are still belting out these songs in the shower, we thought we’d rank them to see which ones have truly stood the test of time.
So, which Grease songs are you hopelessly devoted to? Choose the one that you want now!
