Grease Lightening

As I get older it comes to my attention more and more things I loved in my youth are not as they seemed back then. Case in point, the movie Grease. I had the Grease lightening song in my head and was singing it to Krew (if you know me you know of my knack for remembering song lyrics). He was smiling and we were having a good time when all of a sudden I realized what I was saying!!! Have you ever really listened to the lyrics of that song?! Terrible. It made me super sad because I think that movie is so cute and I wish so badly I could go back to the days of innocence when I just sang the words not putting them together and hearing the meaning. This has been happening a lot to me lately. Here's the song lyrics in case you are unaware because if I can't enjoy it anymore nobody can!!!!

Why this car is automatic
It's systematic
It's hydromatic
Why it's a grease lightning (Grease lightning)

We'll get some overhead lifters and four barrel quads
oh yeah
(Keep talking whoa keep talking)
Fuel injection cutoffs and chrome plated rods oh yeah
(I'll get her ready, i'll kill to get her ready)
With the four speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door
You know that ain't no shit we'll be getting lots of tit
In Grease Lightning
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lightning you're coasting through the heat lap trial
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

We'll get some purple hued tailpipes and some thirty inch fins
oh yeah
We'll pound 'em in the dashboard and duel muffler twins
oh yeah
With new pistons, plugs and shocks I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain't bragging she's a real pussy wagon
Grease lightning

Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lighting you're coasting through the heat lap trial
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning

Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lighting you're coasting through the heat lap trial
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning
Lightning, lightning, lightning
Lightning, lightning, lightning
Lightning

Every spud harvest for as long as I could remember we would watch that show over and over again. The whole show is pretty dodgey that's for sure! You don't understand the inuednos until you're older! "Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee... lousy with virginity" "Those summer... nnniiiigghttttssss!" Pretty much every song is about s.e.x.
