“Greased Lightning” by John Travolta

From the Broadway musical to the film, “Grease” has been extensively adopted as family entertainment, which is surprising given that it is about rowdy youths and illegal street racing. The word “sh*t” in John Travolta’s 1978 version of “Greased Lightning” was censored on the radio with a bleep. However, the statement, “You are supreme, the chicks’ll cream for grease lightning,” stayed unchanged. Aside from that, it’s a virtual car repair school about customizing wheels with overhead lifters, four-barrel quads, dual-muffler twins, and chrome-plated rods.
