Swedish Marines Version of ‘Greased Lightnin” Goes Viral (Video)

Monday, January 27, 2014

By Beth Ford Roth

The country that contributed Ingrid Bergman, Stieg Larsson, and IKEA to the world's cultural landscape has made yet another offering for us to enjoy.

This time, a group of Swedish Marines stationed in Afghanistan performed what some are calling a sexy version of the song ""Greased Lightnin'" from the musical "Grease."

The video has already garnered more that 71,000 views since it was posted on YouTube a few days ago.

Have a gander at the Swedes' homage to John Travolta:

Not a fan, but ABBA is greater than the sum of all those mentioned. The whole Donald Duck thing on Christimas makes more sense now.
