"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 Måneskin 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.

"Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" by Lauryn Hill

 

Influential Newark, New Jersey songstress Lauryn Hill Doo-Wops that thing (and, by thing, I mean Frankie Valli's 1967 hit "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You.")

The album that this recording appears on is entitled "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," meaning that she missed a golden opportunity to call it "Air on the Fugee String."

"Beggin" by Måneskin

 

Måneskin were the musical guest on Saturday Night Live in late January, and opened their two song set with this remake of the timeless Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons tune.

I didn't see the second song that they performed, because I fell asleep, because I'm hella lame.

If they just repeated this song to close out their SNL appearance, I don't think that anyone in the audience would have complained.
