This ‘Grease’ conspiracy theory will totally bum you out
New York Post ^ | September 8, 201 | Andrea Morabito

Posted on 09/08/2016 10:09:27 AM PDT by sparklite2

The conspiracy theory, which is being recirculated thanks to a Reddit thread, claims that Sandy, played by Olivia Newton-John, was actually dead, or dying, throughout the entirety of the 1978 movie.

The user, who first posted the theory three years ago, cites the lyrics to the film’s opening number, “Summer Nights,” which says that when Danny (John Travolta) and Sandy first met, he “saved her life, she nearly drowned” — and argues that Sandy actually died on the beach that day.

Another Redditor took things even darker, claiming that Danny was also dead the whole time and made up the name “Sandy” because he met the cute blonde on the beach, and that the movie represents his dying wishes for his final year at Rydell High.

Is retro nostalgia for retro nostalgia so compelling that people are cooking up conspiracy theories about old movies? Apparently.

Heck, play them forward long enough and you'll want to kill yourself too.

It's all a plot to divert attention from 'Paul is dead'.

for his final year at Rydell High

My theory is they were a married middle aged couple who died in the car accident, and they are re-living how they wished high school and how they met were.

That is why even though they are supposed to be in high school they look about 35 years old.

If Grease were written and directed by David Lynch, they might have something.

But it wasn’t. Don’t know who wrote the play nor care to look it up.

I always liked ONJ though.

I love all of these crazy fan theories. Just a guilty pleasure, I guess.

My favorite is the Ferris Bueller "Fight Club" theory where Cameron stayed in bed the whole day and Ferris was a figment of his imagination.

In the 70’s blockbuster Ohio Players song Love Roller Coaster, it is said someone was stabbed and screamed and they left it in the song.

I heard about this and did play his records backwards.

They told me to stay in school, stay away from drugs, and floss twice a day.
