"Grease" by Dog Fashion Disco

 


Rockville, Maryland (Don't go back there...) avant-garde metal band Dog Fashion Disco cover "Grease," the 1978 lead single from the like-named musical, originally recorded by (Newark) Jersey Boy Frankie Valli.

The lyrics, at several points, say "Grease is the word....is the word... is the word (that you heard)..."

Right.... unless you're in Argentina.

For more Valli covers, the MÃ¥neskin version of "Beggin" can be found here, and Lauryn Hill's version of "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" can be found here.
