澳洲歌壇巨星［奧莉薇亞．紐頓-強］＆美國影壇天王［約翰屈伏塔］──〔火爆浪子〕電影插曲──大賣復古流行曲──［Summer Nights／夏夜］

 

Summer lovin, had me a blast

Summer lovin, happened so fast

I met a girl crazy for me

Met a boy cute as can be

 

Summer days drifting away

To uh, oh those summer nights

 

Oh well, oh well, oh well oh, uh

Tell me more, tell me more

Did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more

Like does he have a car?

 

She swam by me, she got a cramp

He ran by me, got my suit damp

I saved her life, she nearly drowned

He showed off splashing around

 

Summer sun, somethings begun

But uh, oh those summer nights

 

Oh well, oh well, oh well oh, uh

Tell me more, tell me more

Was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more

Did she put up a fight?

 

Took her bowling in the arcade

We went strolling, drank lemonade

We made out under the dock

We stayed out till ten oclock

 

Summer fling dont mean a thing

But uh, oh those summer nights

 

Tell me more, tell me more

But you dont gotta brag

Tell me more, tell me more

Cause he sounds like a drag

 

He got friendly holding my hand

Well, she got friendly down in the sand

He was sweet, just turned eighteen

Well, she was good, you know what I mean

 

Summer heat, boy and girl meet

But uh, oh those summer nights

 

Tell me more, tell me more

How much dough did he spend?

Tell me more, tell me more

Could she get me a friend?

 

It turned colder, thats where it ends

So I told her wed still be friends

Then we made our true love vow

Wonder what shes doin now

 

Summer dreams ripped at the seams

But, oh, those summer nights

 

Tell me more, tell me more

１９７８年６月　澳／英籍歌壇巨星奧莉薇亞．紐頓-強（Olivia Newton-John）與約翰屈伏塔（John Travolta）主演改編自百老匯音樂劇〔Grease／火爆浪子〕的同名歌舞愛情喜劇電影上映

評價良好　票房更是大賣　在美國本土賣出１億８８７５萬美元　海外２億６２０萬美元

全球近４億美元的驚人數字（加上通貨膨脹　１９７８年幣值是２０１３年數倍）

成為１９７８年全球與美國最賣座電影

紐頓強提名獲得金球獎女主角　原聲帶相當暢銷

登上英美冠軍　美國至今賣出八百多萬張　

奧莉薇亞個人演唱的〔Hopelessly Devoted to You〕也提名奧斯卡原創歌曲

紐頓強的音樂事業也跟片中女主角一樣　從玉女轉向性感路線

 

〔Grease／火爆浪子〕原聲帶專輯在電影發行前兩個月（1978.4）便由RSO唱片公司出版

大獲好評　登上英美各國排行榜冠軍　美國銷售逾１４００萬張（但只認證８白金）

英國２６０萬張（８白金）

第二單曲為紐頓-強與屈伏塔合唱的〔You’r The One That I Want／你就是我要的〕

第四主打仍是紐頓-強與屈伏塔主唱, 其他演員合音的［Summer Nights／夏夜］（Olivia Newton-John,John Travolta&Cast）

此曲由Jim Jacobs ＆ Warren Casey譜寫

Louis St. Louis製作成一首復古流行曲, 節奏輕快

紐頓-強與屈伏塔以誇張的唱腔詮釋

其他演員的也合音俏皮可愛

［Summer Nights］依舊受到歡迎, 登上美國單曲榜＃５　賣出一百萬張以上　拿到金唱片（１９７８年終＃６９）

副榜──Easy Listening榜＃２１

英國登上冠軍　至今賣出１６０多萬張　拿到白金唱片（已有２白金資格）

年終排名季軍（亞軍〔You’r The One That I Want〕）

此曲加上〔You’r The One That I Want〕　總共在當年英國王稱霸１６週

澳洲＃６（１９７８年終＃６２）

荷蘭／比利時／愛爾蘭冠軍　紐西蘭／加拿大＃３（75000+, 金唱片）　德國＃４

法國金唱片（54萬張）

１９９０年底　結合此曲的［The Grease Megamix］登上英國榜＃３　澳洲（年終＃３）／西班牙冠軍　其它地區也熱門, 讓新一代聽眾重新認識此曲

這是紐頓-強事業另一首大紅單曲
