As you know, we are getting married on 25th September (Eventually woooooop) and we can’t wait to see you there!!
What you probably don’t know is, we have invited the team from Music Wedding Videos to film everyone enjoying the day, singing, dancing and generally having a great time to ‘Grease Megamix’ by The Grease Cast.
Here is the song we’ve chosen for you to get familiar with …
How this works is, the guys will be equipped with printed lyrics and speakers on the day; they’ll be looking for volunteers to sing along to a couple of lines from the track on camera. They’ll then turn the footage into a music video of the wedding day. Don’t worry too much about learning all the words as we mentioned they’ll have some printed on the day and after playing a short section of the song a couple of times you’ll soon pick it up.
You’ll have a few go’s at getting it right, and they’re pretty good at editing to make you look awesome. Your singing voice doesn’t matter either because they’re not going to use the audio – the real song will be played over the video footage of you singing along.
The lyrics are included at the bottom of the page
How up for it are you?
Mad for it!
OK, so you fancy yourself as a bit of a performer or a pop-star in another life?
Here’s what you can do:
- Watch the video
- Learn the lyrics
- Practice in front of the mirror
- Choreograph a dance routine
- Get together with some like-minded guests to do something as a group
We are looking for people to (willingly) come forward beforehand to be given specific lines to learn, and we will then forward everyone their own lyrics to perfect 🙂 If any of you do want to perform something special, please let us know or contact the MWV guys at info@musicweddingvideos.com so they can plan it into the shoot.
Happy to get involved on the day
Here’s what we recommend:
- Watch the video
- Try to learn at least one or two lines from the song
- Grab the MWV guys on the day and let them know you want to get involved
A little bit camera-shy
We realise some people either don’t feel super comfortable in front of cameras, especially video cameras. Don’t worry – the MWV guys are very sensitive to this and won’t force you to get involved if you don’t feel comfortable. But if it’s not too painful, we do hope you can at least give us a smile or a wave so that we can remember you on our special video. And remember – if it’s your singing voice you’re worried about, they don’t actually use that in the final video – you’re just miming along to the real song. Here’s what we recommend:
- Don’t worry too much about learning the lyrics
- On the day, see if you’re in the right mood. If not, just let the MWV guys know if you’d prefer to just be an ‘extra’ without performing, or if you don’t want to be in the video at all.
We think this is a really fun way to record and re-live our big day for years to come and hope you’ll all get involved in some way.
Still not sure how this works?
Here are a couple of examples of a finished video from previous weddings once they have been edited and effects have been put on…
So……..
- Glamorous couple – Check
- Beautiful Location – Check
- Awesome dancing and singing – that’s where you come in
Let’s make this a wedding video to remember!
Love
Claire and Darren

PS Here are those lyrics:
Well this car is automatic, it’s systematic, it’s hydromatic
Why it’s greased lightnin’!
[Danny]
I got chills.
They’re multiplyin’.
And I’m losin’ control.
‘Cause the power
you’re suplyin’,
it’s electrifyin’!
[Sandy]
You better shape up,
’cause I need a man
and my heart is set on you.
You better shape up;
you better understand
to my heart I must be true.
[Danny]
Nothin’ left, nothin’ left for me to do.
[Both]
You’re the one that I want.
(you are the one i want), o,o, oo, honey.
The one that I want.
(you are the one i want), o,o,oo, honey.
The one that I want
You,(you are the one i want), o,o, ooooo
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.
Why it’s greased lightnin’!
We’ll get some overhead lifters, and four barrel quads, oh yeah
Keep talkin’, whoah keep talkin’
Fuel injection cut off, and chrome plated rods, oh yeah
I’ll get the money, I’ll kill to get the money
With a four-speed on the floor, they’ll be waitin’ at the door
You know that ain’t shit when we’ll be gettin’ lots of tit in greased lightnin’
[Chorus]
Go, greased lightnin’, you’re burnin’ up the quarter mile
Greased lightnin’, go greased lightnin’
Go, greased lightnin’, you’re coastin’ through the heat lap trials
Greased lightnin’, go greased lightnin’
You are supreme, the chicks’ll cream for greased lightnin’
We’ll get some purple French tail lights and thirty-inch fins, oh yeah
A palomino dashboard and duel muffler twins, oh yeah
With new pistons, plugs, and shocks, I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain’t braggin’, she’s a real pussy wagon – greased lightnin
[Danny]
Summer lovin’ Had me a blast
[Sandy]
Summer lovin’ Happened so fast
[Danny]
I met a girl crazy for me
[Sandy]
Met a boy cute as can be
[Both]
Summer days drifting away, to uh-oh those summer nights
[Everyone]
Well-a well-a well-a huh
[Guys/Thunderbirds]
Tell me more, tell me more
[Guys/Doody]
Did you get very far?
[Girls/Pink Ladies]
Tell me more, tell me more
[Girls/Marty]
Like does he have a car?
[Danny]
She swam by me, she got a cramp
[Sandy]
He ran by me, got my suit damp
[Danny]
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
[Sandy]
He showed off, splashing around
[Both]
Summer sun, something’s begun, but uh-oh those summer nights
[Girls/Pink Ladies]
Tell me more, tell me more
[Girls/Frenchy]
Was it love at first sight?
[Guys/Thunderbirds]
Tell me more, tell me more
[Guys/Kenickie]
Did she put a fight?
[Sandy]
It turned colder – that’s where it ends
[Danny]
So I told her we’d still be friends
[Sandy]
Then we made our true love vow
[Danny]
Wonder what she’s doing now
[Both]
Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh those summer nights
