In The PLAYLIST âOLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN COLLECTIONâ
âSummer Nightsâ is a popular song from the musical Grease. Written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, its best-known version was recorded by American actor and singer John Travolta and Australian singer, songwriter and actress Olivia Newton-John for the big-screen adaptation of the musical, and released as a single that same year. It was released in August 1978 as the fourth single from the movieâs soundtrack album and became a massive hit worldwide during the summer of 1978. Parts of the song were introduced to a new audience when it was re-released in the 1990s as part of a megamix of several songs from the movie version.
In the movie version of Grease, Travolta and Newton-John played the lead roles of Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson.
The songâs genesis stems from a summertime love affair between Danny and Sandy, which had ended upon Sandyâs revelation that she was moving back to Australia with her family; however, Sandy soon learns that her family is staying in the United States and subsequently enrolls at Rydell High School, where Danny is also a student. In the original stage version, Sandy Dumbrowski, who like many other characters in the play is a Catholic of Polish descent, originally attends parochial school. On the other hand, Danny lied to her and claimed to attend Lake Forest Academy, a prestigious real-life private school in Chicago. Sandyâs parentsâ decision to pull her out of Catholic school and put her in public Rydell High exposes Dannyâs subterfuge. It quickly becomes clear that there are unresolved feelings of love between Danny and Sandy.
Separately and unknown to each other, both Danny and Sandy meet with their respective group of friends and share their perspectives of their summertime fling. Danny, the leader of a greaser gang known as âThe T-Birdsâ (the âBurger Palace Boysâ in the stage show), brags about the physical aspects of the relationship; Sandy remarks to the schoolgirl clique âThe Pink Ladiesâ about her emotional attachment to Danny. The resulting conversations are played out through the song.
Of the cast members, only Travolta and Newton-John provided vocals for the previous single from the soundtrack, âYouâre The One That I Wantâ, but other members of the cast contributed backing and cameo lead vocals to âSummer Nightsâ. The only vocal contributions on the soundtrack from Kelly Ward (Putzie) and Michael Tucci (Sonny) are their single questions in this song (Sonny also had no solo lines in the musical; the two songs from the musical by Putzieâs stage counterpart were cut from the film). Stockard Channing (Rizzo)âs solo line ââCause he sounds like a dragâ was spoken rather than sung. The background lyrics quote three songs; âDa Doo Ron Ronâ by The Crystals, âBreaking Up Is Hard to Doâ by Neil Sedaka (âdown, doo-be-dooâ) and âPapa-Oom-Mow-Mowâ by The Rivingtons (later made famous as Part 2 of âSurfinâ Birdâ by The Trashmen); that were released in 1962 and 1963; this is an anachronism, as the song is set in fall 1958.
âSummer Nightsâ was originally written for the stage showâs transition to Broadway. The original Chicago version of the musical (staged only once since the 1970s) had a different song, âFoster Beach,â at that point.
âSummer Nightsâ reached No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and spent two weeks at No. 3 on Cash Box Top 100. The song was an even bigger hit in the UK, spending seven weeks at No. 1. Combined with an earlier nine-week run with âYouâre the One That I Want,â the Travolta-Newton-John duet team spent 16 weeks at No. 1 during 1978 in the UK.
In 2004, the song finished at #70 in AFIâs 100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
In 2010, Billboard ranked it No. 9 on their âBest Summer Songs of All Timeâ list.
