When I found out that my high school was putting on a production of Grease, I rushed out and rented the movie (seeing as how I'd never seen it), and found that I'd already heard most of the songs in the movie from random other places.However, the Original Broadway Cast Recrording introduced me to a couple of my favorite songs from Grease: Those Magic Changes, Freddy My Love, Mooning, and Alone at the Drive-In.
While a couple of the songs are in the movie, it really took this CD to truly discover these songs. Those Magic Changes is now one of my favorite musical songs of all time. It's immensely catchy (and it even gives you the chord changes so you can play along on your guitar!).
However, the blemish on this otherwise awesome album is, unfortunately, the big finale song, All Choked Up. Just so I could stand listening to this CD from start to finish, I had to reburn the CD without All Choked Up on it. Luckily the movie remedied this horrible song with the catchy You're the One That I Want (and thankfully so did my school's production).
Here's my ratings for each of the tracks on this album:
-Alma Mater/Alma Mater (Parody): 6/10 (I hate the Alma Mater, but the Parody is really fun)
-Summer Nights: 8/10 (the girls voice are still incredibly annoying)
-Those Magic Changes: 10/10 (favorite Grease song!)
-Freddy, My Love: 8/10 (I really like Marty's voice in this song)
-Greased Lightnin': 9/10 (What I don't get is that this is a recording of the original production of Grease, and they're already changing the lyrics to this song)
-Mooning: 7/10 (Who wouldn't love a song about mooning that ends with the line, "There's a moon out tonight?")
-Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee: 6/10 (Not my favorite song and a lot of the references went over my head (at least in the movie version I knew who Elvis was))
-We Go Together: 9/10 (Who doesn't know this song?)
-It's Raining On Prom Night: 5/10 (What a boring way to start the second Act of the show, not to mention the really hooky lines in the middle of it)
-Born to Hand-Jive: 8/10 (Very fun song, it's really hard not to jump up and start hand-jiving when you listen to it)
-Beauty School Dropout: 8/10 (Probably the best moral in the play right here, telling Frenchy to go back to high school)
-Alone At A Drive-In Movie: 10/10 (Hilarious lyrics (there's a line about an Intermission Elf) and catchy melody)
-Rock 'n' Roll Party Queen: 6/10 (Not my favorite song, but still a decent rendition of it)
-There Are Worse Things I Could Do: 9/10 (As much as I love Stockard Channing, she's not that great of a singer. I like this version much better)
-Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise): 8/10 (I really like how her voice quality changes over the course of the song)
-All Choked Up: 3/10 (Most. Annoying. Song. Ever. Truth be told it has a cool opening, but it just goes downhill from there.)
-We Go Together (Reprise): 8/10 (Thankfully, this song was there to saved the end of the show)
