I actually just had to look it up, because I didn't know it.

I feel...enlightened?

And I love that artwork for Grease. It's nice to see them in color, since I'd only previously seen them in Frenchie's Grease Scrapbook (Which I got as a 11th Birthday present, the year it came out. I was *so* excited.)

Paramount is expanding it's GREASE franchise. A line of checkbooks, manufactured by StylesCheck is very successful and continues to grow and now 505 Games in conjunction with Paramount Digital Entertainment is developing a GREASE game for the Nintendo Wii proving that GREASE is still the word..

GREASE checks, video game

If I start seeing these images popping up on the internet I know where they originated from.

"When Grease was on HBO in the late 70s/early 80s I asked my mom what fongool meant. She was not happy."

I Just finished a production of Grease in Houston directed by Kevin Cahoon. All of the principal characters looked this up together because none of us knew what it meant. We were all very surprised, and needless to say, it changed the way we looked at the song. haha

It's far from being a 'World Premiere'.
Sing-Along-A 'Grease' has been playing major theatres across the UK for at least the last 10 years and still continues to do so, filling 2000 seater's every night
It occasionally plays a West End theatres too.

Other Sing A Longs that are always touring the UK include;
'The Sound Of Music'
'Annie'
'Oliver!'
'Joseph'
'Hairspray'
'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'
and 'High School Musical'
All accompanied by a floor show with fancy dress blah blah blah.

Then do us a favor and punch yourself in the face.

I have the bluray which is wonderful and has the sing-a-long feature included. A few years ago they had a grease re release sing-a-long premiere at the Outfest film festival. I think I will stay with my memory of that rather than go to the Bowl and ruin my memory of it with a evening full of breeders and their children.
