Oh my god. I hardly even know what to say about what you are going to experience here. You know the feeling you get during winter’s first snowfall, while you’re cuddled up warm in your home with a cup of spiked hot chocolate, the glow of your holiday something glittering in the window? Or the feeling you get watching a friend open the gift you bought them, knowing that they’re going to be so excited about it? Or the feeling you get, I don’t know, when you are doing some last-minute holiday shopping and you come across something you know someone is going to love and you’re like, “Oh my goodness, they’re going to think I bought this such a long time ago! That’s how perfect it is!” Or the feeling you get when you get an invite to a holiday party that you know is going to be so much fun? Or the feeling you get when you watch a video from two famous people — John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, let’s say — and it is of the exact caliber of any video we would normally feature on Videogum from Joe Nobody, after he recorded a song on the Fruity Loops bootleg he downloaded and gave his cousin’s friend who “makes music videos” $300? This is exactly like that. Oh my god. OH MY GOD.
AHHHHHHH! I THINK I MIGHT LOVE IT! JOHN TRAVOLTA! OLIVA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! THE FACIAL HAIR! THE PART AT THE END WHERE HE TALKS! THE DANCING THAT THE GROUP OF PEOPLE DO AND HOW THEY SHOULD’VE GIVEN THEM CLEAR DIRECTION AND THEN DONE ANOTHER TAKE! WHEN THE POLICE OFFICER HUGS THE GUY! THE SMILING! THE WORDS! MAKING LOVE!

How did they put the camera so it could follow the moving car? Movie magic I guess.
I feel so vindicated in my hatred of Grease right now
You’d think someone with a private jet could afford better production and a better paint job for his head!
Jet fuel adds up, y’know?
I was NOT expecting country music. Is this their normal genre?
considering their normal genre is “pandering,” practically everything fits.
Is that what country music sounds like now? It just sounded like EZmuzakPop to me. Is it a sub-genre of country? Like EZmuzakPop-Country?
I don’t really know. But it sounded kind of twangy and it looked like they were doing a line dance or something. Lazy man’s country?
EZmuzakPop-Country sounds like a genre that could exist.
I figured their line-dancing was part of the analysis, but I think– as someone on here already mentioned– it was more of a *ahem* homage to Grease,: http://youtu.be/XyGfoWlyKwk
Also, any practiced ‘casual’ dance performed by one or more people but where they don’t dance WITH each other, like, touching, looks like line-dancing. http://youtu.be/iQYIqBlA8yM
***ATTENTION!!!***
Watching that Grease video directly after ‘I Think You Might Like It’ is REALLY jarring.
I’m pretty sure they’ve invented a new genre here. Let’s just call it Fruity Loops Bootleg (TM).
I’m just going to go watch xanadu instead.
ps- robot john travolta is terrifying.
I learned Xanadu is streaming on Netflix a few days ago and got way, way too excited.
HOLY CRAP YES. drunk xanadu watching is the best. And while the credits roll you recite the Coleridge poem as a way to feel slightly classier
Xanadu was my favorite movie as a kid. I made my dad buy me the record (you kids can Bing that) of the soundtrack, essentially because I found Ms. Newton-John to be very pretty. The end result was that I became a lifetime ELO fan. I can literally sing the entire Xanadu theme song by heart, and it is one of the only complete songs stored in my head.
Netflix is the greatest, but just FYI you can get the ‘Magical Edition’ DVD from Amazon for less than $10.
Would a gay man have this manly goatee and wallet chain? -John Travolta
He’s not gay, he’s having an affair with Olivia Newton John. It’s really obvious! Look at their body language!!!
That is what people having illicit affairs do, dance in driveways together while their significant others wait at the airport for them!!
“We were just dancing in the driveway!” – John Travolta
“Actually, I believe that.” – Kelly Preston
Grease Lightning – more like Grease Frightening!
“yea”- Kelly Preston
Travolta’s hair is just giving everybody the creeps. He needs to go the Ron Howard route and just put a fucking hat on and keep it on.
I just can’t. I don’t even know how to process this. Between the plane, and the recreation of the dance from Grease, and then the singing. Won’t someone think of the children!?!
Me too!! I’m sitting here thinking this is a PRESENT for some PEOPLE?? It’s so wrong bad nasty ewwwwwwwwww. Not a present. Not.
Oh wait. Now I understand. It’s like VEGEMITE. DUH.
Well, looks like they just ruined christmas.
At least now we know what John Travolta would look like as a character from Lazy Town.
all joking aside, any video from The Rapper Formally Known As Krispy Kreme has better production values.
at some point sometime in the recent past, John Travolta has said “let’s just shoot this in my driveway.”
As my esteemed colleague just said, “He has a private plane. Couldn’t he have bought a better camera?”
John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John SUPPORT THE TROOPS.
what did john travolta say to the massuer
i think you might like it
lololololol
What a wonderful duet by ONJ and her biggest trans fan!
Seriously guys, no disrespect to my trans bros and sisters because I love them, but Travolta has somehow successfully managed to look like a man who was once a woman in the worst way possible.
I know they were going for cutting between the two of them running toward each other until they hug, but Travolta looks so psycho that I totally thought the narrative was him chasing her down but the director had no concept of film composition nor eyeline matching.
WALLET. CHAIN.
WILD. HOGS.
OLD. DOGS.
This is a good song and all, but let’s all remember the Reason for the Season (Xenu)
And here I thought Just For Men’s commercials couldn’t get any more annoying. Then again, between this video and his actions over the past year, I guess that John Travolta does make a lot of sense as their spokesman, on multiple levels.
I’m not sure who this is a slight against, but Olivia Newton-John is looking A LOT like Christina Aguilera.
Whose idea was it to dress Olivia up as “bad” Sandy?
Obviously this is just one of MANY question raised by this video, but actually the one that is bothering me the most.
Probably John? I bet he wanted inspiration for his next show in Key West. Sorry guise, the Travolta gay jokes are endless!
It credits John Farrar at the opening for writing the song…anyone think he is Jay Farrar’s disappointment of a brother?
Congratulations, “Grease 2″! You are now the second-most-cringe-inducing sequel to “Grease”!
Woah, hotspur is Perez Hilton? This explains EVERYTHING.
Actually it would raise more questions than it answers.
They probably had her on set as a consultant. You know, helping out with how to shoot cool convertible scenes, dance normal, etc.
The more I think about it, the more I realize they nailed this song. Think of the title..and then think of how many times an older, used to be cool, now out of touch relative handed you a book or a movie and said that.
I no longer want to hear all the horny details, Danny.
jesus, i work at starbucks and i have a better hairdresser than she does
1:02 – who is that who just landed his big ass plane right in front of my house? could it be John? I am not sure as so many people just fly right up to my front door in their G6, it literally could be anyone.
1:07 – it is John!
I hate rich folk.
lol nice car lol
I think you predicted my reaction to your music video incorrectly.
Florida. Of course.
