Grease The Dream mix review
GREASE: THE DREAM MIX: Featuring Frankie Valli, John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. (Polydor)
Grease is, of course, the greatest film ever made. With the best soundtrack ever made. And here’s another of those remix megamix affairs so some record company bigwigs can make some money to prove it. And it’s a tantalising three-tiered colossus in crapness that’s actually genius in disguise.
-
“Grease”. The theme tune, i.e. the horn-blowin’ disco stotter by a bloke called Frankie Valli.
-
“Sandy”. The heart-wibblin’ tear-swiller by a bloke called John Travolta in hunkin’ leather.
-
“Hopelessly Devoted To You”. The lungs-akimbo violin-vibratin’ lerve lament by a girlie called Olivia Newton-John.
Genius has come among us. (P.S. Some bloke from PWL has put daft dance beats all over it so I suggest you buy the album instead and sicken the big wigs haw.)
