Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2017 I love the DD soundtrack but don't agree with it being overly 80s. There are a few songs in the whole film that are 80s style and they were all released as singles which is why they probably stand out more (e.g. Time of My Life, Hungry Eyes, She's Like The Wind). But I'd say 90% of the other songs used are from the 50s and 60s. Â Â As well as the three you mentioned, one that's even more obvious is a Pointer Sisters song that's used during the film (and also during the end credits). It's SO 80s you can smell the Pop Tarts burning! Â Â Well, the songs from Grease weren't written in the 50s. Â No, but they were clearly in the style of fifties music. They managed to fire up the flux capacitor for some of their songs. Â That said, the song Grease Is The Word definitely has a funky 70s vibe to it- I don't think you can get away with calling that a 50s song. But it's a fucking great song and Frankie Valli is in top form, so I'm going to look the other way. Plus, it was a soundtrack to the into rather than being within the film. Â It's not using modern music as a soundtrack for something that pre-dates the music that bothers me, it's when the song is used within the film- i.e. the cast listening, dancing to or singing along to it.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 29, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yeah, but Grease 2 is better than it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted March 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2017 Grease 2 wins because the hero rides a motorbike (that he created himself and painted flames on) and jumps over things. He also says "bollocks", like a good Englishman. Â Grease 1 fails because the "hero" is all show and has a car that isn't as cool as the one that The Scorpions have.

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted March 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2017 If you want completely out placed music in a music themed film, then Eddie & The Cruisers is the winner. A film about a 50's rock n roll band that sound like fourth rate Springsteen in his pomp. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Exactly. The amount of backseat action that car had probably fucked its suspension. Danny got lucky due to not getting laid all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hey boys, the rules are there ain't no rules. Danny won, therefore better car, therefore better film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted March 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2017 Sandy divorcing Danny after he was caught in a bath house probably didn't do any favours. Scorpions for the win. Razors on hubcaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members WWFChilli Posted March 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yeah, but Grease 2 is better than it. I do love Grease 2. Interesting there was two more sequels planned but Grease 2 didn't do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I used to work with a bunch of women who loved Grease. Â I enjoyed ruining it for them with the "Sandy in a coma" theory. Â One of them watched it that night and agreed, she also thought it was a terrible message about changing yourself to suit others. Â I was very happy about ruining the film for her and tried to ruin many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
