Grease - Original Soundtrack

...music for me that makes Grease the greast film that it is. Everyone knows at least one of the songs from the Grease soundtrack, and how many times have we danced around drunkenly (or more worringly stone cold sober) to one of the classic tunes? The cover of the 24 track CD has a picture of a young looking John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. Opener, title track and the song which kicks the film into action is 'Grease' by Frankie Valli. It is an ...
...man feel like he has the rhythmn to strut across the dancefloor, when all he looks like is a paralysed duck. The song was written by Barry Gibb, and it is a perfect representation of the film, and the mood it created when it was released in 1978, and even though the film should look dated, and so should the music, to me it still sounds fresh. The real classic, karaoke regular and downright party track is the Travolta/Newton John duet, 'Summer Nights', ...

Review of Grease - Original Soundtrack

This is my most favourite soundtrack of all time. Since I first watched the film I was addicted to it and know all the words to the songs. I had this soundtrack on tape originally but I listened to it so much it sounds a bit dodgy now. In parts of it the music goes slow and patchy. This then forced me into getting it on cd. Being a newer version to what I originally had this follows the stage version of it and includes extra songs from what was on ...
...go through the songs. There are 24 tracks on the album but the last song is the first song being repeated.That is grease, which is played at the start of the film when all the title names are going up. It is a fast song, with a good beat to it. The theme behind this song is a sort of cool one which the two main grouops of the tee birdes and the pink ladies continuosly portray throughout the film. Summer nights- one of the most well known songs, ...

Review of Grease - Original Soundtrack

Of the numerous recordings of Grease in my collection of stage and film music (five), this is the one I listen to the most often and the one ‘most deserving of wider recognition.’ There are so many opinions here on Ciao of the film soundtrack and I feel I’m being a bit strange and different by writing on any of the others… This is the most recent Broadway revival of the show, and they did some pretty radical things to the ...
...The original songs from the Grease stage show (six years before the film came out) are all pastiches of various kinds of music around in the late 1950’s, some of them rather clever pastiche. But the film songs, most notably Grease and You’re the One That I Want, betray their 1970’s origins too clearly. A non-original song IS included in this version – a song from the 1950’s called Since I Don’t Have You. And a ...

Review of Grease - Original Soundtrack

...a many splendored thing 24: Grease (reprise) And it all weighs in at just under 52 minutes. You would have expected more from 24 tracks, wouldn't you? But then, there are a lot of one and a half minute tracks in there. So there you have it. As you can see, the songs on the album are in nothing like the order that they are in the film. In fact that is the only problem that I have with the CD. Still, it's in the same order as the original soundtrack ...

Review of Grease - Original Soundtrack

...is hard to believe that Grease is a film made more than twenty years ago. Perhaps then it should be more surprising that the soundtrack still sounds so good, and that so many people still relate to it. Mention the names Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta and people will probably still instantly say “Grease”. The soundtrack has so many things going for it. For a start there are 22 tracks on it – almost unheard of today. The songs are (for the vast ...
...a musical it is easy to relate the tracks to the film. Full credit also to Newton-John and Travolta for their performances on a vast and varied range of songs. There are a few odd rather than weak points on the album, but they are not bad and they are not the focus of the film or soundtrack in any case. Instead sit back and enjoy classics like “You’re the one that I want”, “Summer Nights”, “Greased Lightning” and “Hopelessly Devoted To You”. They ...

Review of Grease - Original Soundtrack

Why has Grease gone down so well as a classic? Is it a movie or a musical? I think musical. The soundtrack has all the songs from the movie on it but personally I think that they are too old to still be enjoyed today by young people because they have a golden oldies style (shudder). Personally this is definitely NOT my cup of tea, in fact I wouldn't buy it in a million years, but from an unbiased point of view I would say that the album is quite ...

Review of Grease - Original Soundtrack

...We Go Together. Last is Grease (Reprise). There's also a song called Love is a Many Splendoured Thing, which is the one at the beginning when Sandy and Danny are at the beach. I love all the songs on the album except Love is a Many Splendoured Thing and Alone at the Drive in Movie, which are mostly instrumental and kinda boring. My favourites are Summer Nights, and We Go Together, because I think that has fantastic lyrics – e.g. “shoo ...

...soundtrack from the acclaimed movie Grease and it is as good as the movie itself. The film is a musical and the songs within it were responsible for its success at the Box Office. It is therefore obvious that the soundtrack is going to be very good and it is indeed so. The film itself is considered a classic and the soundtrack is the same for the same reasons. Each song is very good with others standing out more than others. You'll never stop listening ...

Review of Grease - Original Soundtrack

Grease is one of the best musicals that I have ever seen and what makes a musical? Of course Music. So hearing the music of one of the best musicals ever crammed onto one CD is just plain fantastic. This compilation contains a lot of classics still listened too and enjoyed today. Both the quality and variety of music on this CD is excellant and definately well worth listening to. If I could some this sound track up in one word it would just plain ...

Review of Grease - Original Soundtrack

If you've seen the movie, and love the music in it, pick up this single disc reissue of the original classic 2-LP album. I have the original record album and played it quite frequently. It's good to hnag on to, but in the past year I bought this single disc and don't have to worry about this getting worn out. All the original songs from the film are here. The songs are done in the style a typical '50s rock'n'roll song or ballad. The title track ...

This soundtrack is an absolute classic! The songs are brilliant and most people know them off by heart. One of the local shops near me plays it nearly constantly and all the customers can't help but sing along. People who have seen the film will love it, but even those who haven't seen cant help but be uplifted by the songs on this cd. Some of the songs are very well known (who hasn't sung Summer Loving on the kareoke?) and others are lesser known ...
