10 Best Songs In The Underrated Sequel Grease 2

Grease is one of the most popular movie musicals ever made, and the soundtrack continues to be popular with all audiences. When a sequel was released, it was panned by the critics and did poorly at the box office. However, Grease 2 slowly became a cult classic and is finally getting the love it deserves. It has a fun cast, including some appearances from actors in the original, and it was the first big film for Michelle Pfeiffer.

Grease 2‘s music may not be as popular as the classic 1978 original, but there are many great songs in this sequel that are worth checking out. Here are 10 of the best songs from this underrated movie sequel.

10 “Who’s That Guy?”

This song marks the first appearance of Michael, played by Maxwell Caulfield, as the “cool rider.” This musical number involves fun motorcycle stunts as the whole cast watches the action. “Who’s That Guy?” is not only memorable but almost everyone in the cast participates.

Seeing people question the identity of the “cool rider” adds to the fun of the musical number, and viewers cannot help but be proud of Michael’s accomplishment. The vocals are strong, the energy is high, and the cast does its best to bring the “cool rider” to life.

9 “We’ll Be Together”

Very much like the final number, “We Go Together,” in the original, “We’ll Be Together” ends Grease 2 with a wonderful track about friendship and always being together.

The final song in the original is more upbeat and a fun 1950s-sounding tune, but the sequel’s closer is slower and meant to be more heartfelt. For the most part, it succeeds. “We’ll Be Together” is a good song, and it is nice to hear all the lead characters sing one last time.

8 “Do It For Our Country”

This song is just plain fun. It is from a weird scene in Grease 2 where one of the T-Birds tries to take his relationship to the next level with one of the Pink Ladies. Even though the situation is ridiculous, viewers cannot help but laugh and have fun with the whole scenario.

“Do It For Our Country” is hilarious and those who appreciate this sequel cannot help but sing along. Some songs are just meant to be entertaining, and this is a great example of one.

7 “Prowlin'”

Danny and Kenickie from Grease may not be around this time, but this number proves that these T-Birds are talented. The song is entertaining, fun to listen to, and worthy of being considered just as good as many songs from the original.

Johnny, played by T.J. Hooker‘s Adrian Zmed, is the lead performer in the number, and he is arguably the most talented singer in the whole cast. He, and the rest of the T-Birds, give it their all, making this song memorable.

6 “(Love Will) Turn Back The Hands Of Time”

Stephanie, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, and Maxwell Caulfield’s Michael share this memorable song together as the former’s character thinks of the latter declaring his love for her and vice versa.

The scene is a little cheesy and the performances are over-the-top, but that is a part of the charm of this musical number, and “(Love Will) Turn Back The Hands Of Time” still manages to be powerful. It is another song that fans of the film cannot help but sing along to.

5 “Girl For All Seasons”

While the guys have “Prowlin’,” the girls have this song. “Girl For All Seasons” is a nice, well-written tune about a woman’s devotion to her special loved one throughout the year. In the film, the costumes that represent each season are hilarious, and it is fun to see the T-Birds rushing in and helping out wherever they can.

Parts of the song are heard throughout the movie, and “Girl For All Seasons” is still fun to listen to when it is performed at the talent show near the end of the movie.

4 “Back To School (Again)”

This song opens Grease 2 on a high note as the students of Rydell High School dance and sing as they prepare for their first day of school. The song is definitely entertaining and infectious.

Even students today may feel more confident about their first day back in school if this song were to be played. The vocals are strong, and the cast keeps the energy high in order to prepare viewers for the fun musical ride ahead.

3 “Reproduction”

Biology class may not be the most interesting for some students, but hearing this song may change their minds. “Reproduction” is simply meant to be fun, similar to “Do It For Our Country.”

Hearing the typical views of reproduction from the guys and the women’s point-of-views make this song hilarious and memorable. It may be a little raunchy compared to some other songs in this film and the original, but it is still highly enjoyable.

2 “Score Tonight”

Grease was all about life in the 1950s, and its sequel, which takes place just a couple years later, definitely captures that nostalgia factor with this song. As a common pastime is bowling, Grease 2 created a whole dance number around it.

Using bowling as a metaphor for physical relationships, “Score Tonight” has a great dance sequence that successfully utilizes its setting, and the cast does a great job keeping the energy high. Adrian Zmed gives strong vocals, making this song very entertaining and a fan favorite.

1 “Cool Rider”

This just may be the most beloved song in Grease 2. Michelle Pfeiffer gives it her all as she dances, climbs up a ladder, and sings about what she looks for in a guy. Even people who do not enjoy this sequel cannot help but appreciate Pfeiffer’s singing and dancing abilities in this particular number.

The film may take place in the early 1960s, but this song screams 1980s. “Cool Rider” makes viewers root for Pfeiffer’s character. It is fun, memorable, and a great song to have on any playlist.
