But… oh… those Christmas niiiiiiiights!

Ok so it’s not as catchy as Summer Nights, but forgive us, we’re excited.

Danny and Sandy will be reunited once more, with news today that ‘Grease!’ stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are  releasing a Christmas album.

The former co-stars have recorded a festive album set to feature a follow-up to their famous ‘Grease!’ track ‘You’re The One That I Want’ titled ‘I Think You Might Like It’ – and plan to give it an “intimate” feel.

Speaking about the release, John, 58, said: “My desire was to make this Christmas an intimate album, not something too ostentatious or showy.

“I wanted people to be able to play it around the house or in the car during the holidays, and make us part of your celebration.”

 

The way they were… Olivia & John playing Sandy & Danny in 1978 musical ‘Grease!’

Olivia, 64, also enjoyed the experience of being back in the studio with her on-screen sweetheart as she feels the pair – who played lovers Sandy and Danny in the hit movie – have bonded since filming together back in 1978.

She added to Australia’s NineMSN: “John and I have always connected. That’s never gone away.

“When we’re together, we have a good laugh and feel bonded to one another. We’ve been through some amazing experiences together.”

The famous duo also have other legendary musicians lined up to feature on the album, including Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett and Kenny G.
