Are You Hopelessly Devoted to "Grease"?

Rydell High School is where much of Grease takes place.

The T-Birds are a group of leather-jacket wearing high school guys who are "too cool for school" and are known for getting barely passing grades, smoking, working on their cool cars, and dating the coolest ladies. Their greased-up hair requires frequent combing.

They were The Pink Ladies. Their matching pink jackets made these ladies easy to spot.

Grease takes place in the 1950s and features characters dressed in '50s fashions, like poodle skirts, blouses, and leather jackets for the guys. Some fantastic 1950s cars in beautiful colors are also featured.

John Travolta plays the irresistibly-charming Danny Zuko in "Grease." He's the classic example of trying to be one thing with his friends and another with the girl he likes. Travolta's performance of "Sandy" is memorable for his crooning of "why - y - y- y..."

National Bandstand was the name of the entertainment show that was to film a live dance-off competition at Rydell High. The couples got excited, but some got a little too crazy. If you received a tap on the shoulder from a judge, you were out. Danny ended up winning the competition -- but not with Sandy.

They were born to hand jive!

Sandy's family recently moved to America.

As shown by the color of the cheerleaders' uniforms, the poms, and the letter sweaters, Rydell High's colors were red and white. The jocks at the school were typically seen wearing white sweaters with the red Rydell High emblem on them.

The characters find themselves singing "tell me more, tell me more" when eagerly wanting to hear more about Sandy and Danny's summer fling. The guys want to know if Danny "got very far" and the girls want to know if it was "love at first sight."

Frenchy was bored with high school and wanted to drop out and enroll in beauty school. She later ends up dyeing her hair pink and feels like she's not cut out for beauty school. Cue the song, "Beauty School Dropout."

Barry Gibb wrote the opening song for "Grease," which told audiences that "Grease is the word." Apparently, "grease" has groove and meaning, as well as being the time, place and motion. The song performed very well on the charts and was the perfect opening song.

Rizzo has a thing with Kenickie and isn't very careful. She later thinks she might be pregnant, which throws her relationship with Kenickie for a loop.

"Greased Lightnin'" is the name of the song that Danny and his friends sing about their racing car. With snazzy dance moves and a transforming car, this is one of the most memorable numbers from the musical.

Known as one of the first teen idols, Frankie Avalon had several hits and also starred in the "Beach Party" film series. Frenchy can hardly believe her eyes when she sees him begin to sing to her about dropping out of beauty school.

Danny's shirt was pink, which looked very nice with his black suit for the dance-off competition.

Rydell High had a carnival to celebrate the end of the school year. From pie-throwing games to carnival food to fun rides, the kids could be seen having a blast. This is where Sandy reveals her "bad Sandy" get-up.

The Scorpions were the T-Birds' rival gang that drove around in a flashy black car with flames on the sides. They show up throughout the movie, always slinging threats at the T-Birds.

Frosty Palace was the name of the malt shop where the kids hung out. It's also the setting of the "Beauty School Dropout" song.

Vince Fontaine was the announcer and judge at the National Bandstand dance contest at Rydell High. Marty took a liking to him even though he was substantially older than she was. She tried to captivate him with her fancy green dress and charms.

Johnny Casino & The Gamblers provided the music at the dance-off competition.

Danny gives Sandy his ring. She sees it as his effort to go steady with her and be respectful of her. However, he later tries to go all the way with her and she ends up storming out of the drive-in, leaving him all by his lonesome.

Thunder Road was the place where locals often drag raced, and it's where the T-Birds and the Scorpions had their match. The leader of the Scorpions wanted to race for pink slips.

Marty Maraschino introduces herself to Vince Fontaine by explaining that her last name is like the cherry, which really gets his attention.

Thet sneak over to the camera during Danny and Cha Cha's spotlight dance, pull down their pants, and moon the camera!
