"Greased Lightnin'" is a song from the 1971 musical Grease which was also adapted into the 1978 film of the same name. A soundtrack recording from the film version, with John Travolta on lead vocals, peaked at No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978.
Though sung by Kenickie onstage, John Travolta used his influence to have himself as Danny perform it in the film. Jeff Conaway, who played Kenickie in the film and Danny on Broadway, was reportedly upset with the decision.
