THE VANDALS – Summer Lovin’ (from Grease)

“Summer Lovin” is a popular song from the musical Grease, recorded by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John for the big-screen adaptation of the musical. It was released in August 1978, as the fourth single from the movie’s soundtrack album, becoming a massive hit worldwide during the summer of 1978.

The Vandals are an American punk rock band, established in 1980 in Orange County, California. They have released ten full-length studio albums, two live albums, and have toured the world extensively, including performances on the Vans Warped Tour. They are well known for their use of humor, preferring to use their music as a vehicle for comedy and sarcasm rather than as a platform for more serious issues. As of 2000, they are signed to Kung Fu Records.

Summer loving had me a blast Summer loving happened so fast I met a girl crazy for me Met a boy cute as can be

Summer days drifting away To, oh, oh, the summer nights

Well-a well-a well-a, huh Tell me more, tell me more Did you get very far? Tell me more, tell me more Like does he have a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp He ran by me, got my suit damp I saved her life, she nearly drowned He showed off, splashing around

Summer sun, something’s begun But, oh, oh, the summer nights

Well-a well-a well-a huh Tell me more, tell me more Was it love at first sight? Tell me more, tell me more Did she put a fight?

Took her bowling in the Arcade We went strolling, drank lemonade We made out under the dock We stayed up ’till ten o’clock

Summer fling, don’t mean a thing But, oh, oh, the summer nights

Well-a well-a well-a huh Tell me more, tell me more But you don’t gotta brag Tell me more, tell me more ‘Cause he sounds like a drag

He got friendly, holding my hand She got friendly down in the sand He was sweet just turned eighteen Well, she was good you know what I mean

Summer heat, boy and girl meet But, oh, oh, the summer nights Tell me more, tell me more How much dough did he spend? Tell me more, tell me more Could she get me a friend?

It turned colder, that’s where it ends So I told her we’d still be friends Then we made our true love vow Wonder what she’s doing now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams But, oh, those summer nights Tell me more, tell me more
