GLEE GREASE LIGHTNING...QUE???

'Glee' Covers 'Greased Lightning': Exclusive Song Premiere

2619759-glee-greased-lightning-617-409

The cast of "Glee" will be throwing on their leather jackets and poodle skirts in a couple of weeks, when the show's "Grease"-themed episode airs Nov. 15. In anticipation of the accompanying "Glease" album, which drops on Nov. 6, Billboard has the exclusive premiere of the cast's "Greased Lightning" cover.



Joining the cast of Fox's "Glee" in time for the "Grease" episode is "Glee Project" winner Blake Jenner, playing the part of New Directions newbie Ryder Lynn. Rumors and photos from the set suggest that Ryder will be cast as Danny Zuko in McKinley High's performance of "Grease."

The other voices heard on "Greased Lightning" -- which spoilers suggest will be sung at Burt Hummel's auto mechanic shop -- belong to Chord Overstreet (Sam Evans), Samuel Larsen (Joe Hart), Jacob Artist (Jake Puckerman) and Harry Shum, Jr. (Mike Chang). Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) and Kevin McHale (Artie Abrams) are also featured in the scene.

Auditions for the play will be held during the Nov. 8 episode of "Glee," "The Role You Were Born to Play," when Ryder and Jake compete to star as Danny, and Marley (Melissa Benoist) and Kitty (Becca Tobin) go head-to-head for the role of Sandy.

The original version of "Greased Lightning," credited to John Travolta, went to No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. The film, based on the 1971 musical of the same name and co-starring Olivia Newton-John as Sandy Olsson, was released in June of the same year.

In the upcoming "Grease" episode of "Glee," the cast will also cover songs like "Hopelessly Devoted to You," "Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee," "You're the One That I Want" and "Summer Lovin." Additional songs can be heard later this week at GleetheMusic.com/Glease, and the full album is now available for pre-order on iTunes. See the complete list of songs below.

"Glease" airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Thursday, Nov. 15, the second week after "Glee" season 4 returns from a month-long break. 

See the full "Glease" album track list: 
1. Hopelessly Devoted To You  
2. Born To Hand Jive 
3. Greased Lightning 
4. Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee 
5. Beauty School Drop Out 
6. Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise) 
7. There Are Worse Things I Can Do 
8. You're The One That I Want 
9. Summer Lovin'

everything about this song cover is terrible.
joliefoliepolie 2nd-Nov-2012 12:29 am (UTC)
Summer Lovin'...as if anyone who's ever gone to karaoke hasn't heard enough covers of that song.

After careful and deliberate consideration I feel I can conclusively state that I am most certainly not here for none of this nonsense. Can we not?
avoidskimmilk 2nd-Nov-2012 12:35 am (UTC)
So you're NHFT? lol
twenty21one 2nd-Nov-2012 12:32 am (UTC)
i HATE when shows come back from breaks, show one or two episodes and go on another month+ break again

it makes me not want to watch out of spite even though i do eventually so there's no point to this comment
ilouboutin 2nd-Nov-2012 12:35 am (UTC)

is Mr Shue dead yet? Did they make the cheerleader coach like murder him in an attempt to make her character more inhumanly villainous?
sassandthecity 2nd-Nov-2012 12:50 am (UTC)
I love Grease, if only for the fact that it took years for me as a kid to realize how wonderfully filthy it is at points.
schexyschteve 2nd-Nov-2012 01:14 am (UTC)
Grease and Clueless were my FAVORITE movies in 3rd grade, and it took me ages to truly get all the lines
hkitty4891 2nd-Nov-2012 02:19 am (UTC)
lol me and my sisters watched it all the time when as kids. one time our dad was watching with us and he got all horrified and said "Uhh.. I really don't think you should be watching this..." and we were like "lol why?" But i get it now.
mamasboo 2nd-Nov-2012 01:27 pm (UTC)
Seriously I saw it a couple of times in the theatre when it first came out and I was a LITTLE KID. I remember my mom putting her hand over my eyes during the "mooning" scene. I had no idea what was in the lyrics, I didn't pay attention enough. I just loved singing them all the time. We had the RECORD, too:) (I look back and it's like watching a totally different movie and then there was the revelation:"So THAT'S what Rizzo's problem was!" lol
dannyupshaw 2nd-Nov-2012 12:54 am (UTC)
I'm still pressed about Samcedes
sparkysparky 2nd-Nov-2012 12:58 am (UTC)
Still pressed about Hevans.
Still pressed about Samcedes.
Still pressed about The First Time.

Basically still pressed about EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SHOW.

I'm afraid to listen. I already had to sit through an awful local production of Grease a few weeks ago.

she's a real honey wagon

lmao at their substitutes
ashe_frost 2nd-Nov-2012 01:23 am (UTC)
I wish they would've done Grease 2 instead. Let's Do It For Our Country and Cool Rider... I loved that horrible movie.
kimberlli_jv 2nd-Nov-2012 02:07 am (UTC)
YES! Although I would've died to see them try to edit around "Reproduction."
laurshel 2nd-Nov-2012 01:25 am (UTC)
This show is such crap. You know Murphy is just phoning it in so he can focus on his real baby, American Horror Story. Glee needs to die. It jumped the shark ages ago.
cruel_fortuna 2nd-Nov-2012 01:43 am (UTC)
... you just ... smh.
Glee, you should have quit while you were ahead.
papillonsoldier 2nd-Nov-2012 01:43 am (UTC)
I'm beyond Ecstatic that Klaine broke up :)

I love Blaine, he's absolutely absurd but I never really saw how any of his personality affected Kurt. It seemed like Kurt's personality/traits/likes etc were just imposed onto the poor guy. That being said, I'd love for Blaine to date someone else and I do like Kurt and obviously they're getting back together (sigh :/).
ceilidh_ann 2nd-Nov-2012 01:46 am (UTC)
I swear that Ryan Murphy has the creative equivalent of ADD. He obsesses over one project for a season, if that, then jumps ship for something else, and the cycle goes on.
silentsymphonie 2nd-Nov-2012 01:47 am (UTC)
Remember when Glee posts used to get hundreds of excited stanny comments?

RIP what could have been
kimberlli_jv 2nd-Nov-2012 02:06 am (UTC)
Oh, not here for THAT.
xcollsangelx 2nd-Nov-2012 03:59 am (UTC)
This will be horrific.

arrowtoes 2nd-Nov-2012 04:17 am (UTC)
Glee, I need you to hurry up and bury the festering carcass you're driving around so I can mourn what could've been in peace and enjoy the time you didn't suck once again. All I see now is wasted potential. WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL, GLEE. Now you're rolling in the seep. LAMES PUNS ARE LESS PAINFUL THAN YOU.
schaaawing 2nd-Nov-2012 10:08 am (UTC)
i love singing greased lightning and doing the dance at the same time.

i like glee but they should've left this alone.
mjspice 2nd-Nov-2012 04:20 pm (UTC)
Will this flop show ever be over?? XP
