I don't know how many of you subscribe to HULU, but they have a slew of behind-the-scenes teaser videos already posted. All were released prior to the telecast, but they have even more than Carlos's list. Around a dozen. They were fun to watch, and range from a couple of minutes to much longer.

That's pretty amazing. Makes me respect what they did live even more.

Seriously, just hurl some Emmys at them.

I have watched Summer Nights countless times. It just makes me smile.

Two posters now have mentioned a lyric change in Greased Lightning to "draggin' wagon" (one was quoting a review written by someone else; i don't remember the details of the earlier post). But I find it puzzling why would one interpret the sung lyric as "draggin' wagon" rather than "dragon wagon"? The former makes the car sound slower, like it is struggling to keep up, while the latter makes it sounds like the car breathes fire (as it did in the final bit of the race when the "rocket-esque" modification kicked in and started working. A car breathing doesn't make much sense if taken literally, but is no worse than "greased lightning" for a literal lyric, and both are big exaggerated metaphors for a bad-ass car. Wouldn't the lyric more likely be dragon wagon than draggin' wagon? Or did you see the latter in closed captioning while the show was playing? Just curious. (Or if there is a better interpretation of draggin' wagon that i'm missing, i'm all ears. :)

There was a sitcom in the 80s called Head of the Class that had an episode centered around school production of Grease. That was the first time I heard someone use "dragon wagon." I think it was also the first time I realized what püssy wagon meant.

Draggin' Wagon refers to Drag Racing... a draggin' wagon would be a fast car to drag race... ie like what they do at Thunder Road....

yup... you called it

"Draggin' Wagon refers to Drag Racing... a draggin' wagon would be a fast car to drag race... ie like what they do at Thunder Road...."

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

Yeah, the lingerie line switch was mind boggling. I assume they didn't want a high school character singing about wearing lingerie for her non-high school boyfriend? Either way it was a stupid move. They clearly had issues with Marty since that scene between her and Mario Lopez's character played incredibly awkward...it didn't help that Lopez was so godawful and Keke Palmer was left to do all the heavy lifting.

I wanted to purchase this from iTunes and it seems they have removed it. It was there yesterday. Very odd.
