Danny&Sandy(E.Acevedo/J.Caramel) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you' bout the chicken grease
Stuffs and things to make the people get out ya seat
Everybody it's cool if you wanna clap your hands and stomp your feet
Come on down to the front where you can feel the beat
From the left to right, the back the middle and the front
Don't be uptight, shake it off do what u want
Pump it in the club get a little bit a rub-a-dub
I know you love me cause I'm funky cause I just wanna show you some love

Chicken grease

To get to the other side
Y'all cross the road
But not the kid see I'm like that old bucket of crisco
That's sitting on top of the stove
Simmer to a sizzle like the days of old
But I'll wait til I've mastered this, let the others go first
So the brothers won't miss
Fried til it's burned and crisp
Say we be cooking so the funksters can raise their fist like this
Now you know how its going down, start at your neck
Then through your back then it works its way down to your feet
So unique, come on everybody let's dance to the beat

I just wanna put you down (yeah)
I just want you all to get down (yeah)
Everybody come on and get down to the chicken grease
If you wanna come on down to the front
Baby yo it's cool everybody faking the funk
I'mma put you in school, take a lesson from adolescence to man
I got the music and the instruments use em as my weapons at hand
Everybody on the floor if you listening to me
Clap your hands stomp your feet
I just wanna put u down (yeah)
I just want ya all to get down (yeah)
Everybody come get down to the chicken grease (yeah)





Chicken grease

Overall Meaning

The song "Grease" by Danny&Sandy (E. Acevedo/J. Caramel) is about getting down and dancing to the beat of the music, specifically the "chicken grease," a metaphor for the funky, soulful rhythm that gets people out of their seats. The opening lines invite the listener to join the party: "Let me tell you' bout the chicken grease/Stuffs and things to make the people get out ya seat." With a lively beat and infectious energy, the song creates a feel-good vibe that encourages the listener to let loose and dance without inhibition.


The chorus repeats the phrase "chicken grease" while urging people to get down and move their bodies to the rhythm of the music. The lyrics acknowledge that some people might feel self-conscious or uptight when dancing, but the song aims to alleviate those inhibitions by reminding people to let go and enjoy themselves. "Don't be uptight, shake it off do what u want/Pump it in the club get a little bit a rub-a-dub/I know you love me cause I'm funky cause I just wanna show you some love."


The second verse continues the metaphor of the "chicken grease" as a source of energy and movement, encouraging people to dance and have fun. The lyrics also suggest a sense of mastery and skill that comes with practice and experience: "But I'll wait til I've mastered this, let the others go first/So the brothers won't miss/Fried til it's burned and crisp." The song ends with a call to action to get down to the music: "Everybody on the floor if you listening to me/Clap your hands stomp your feet/I just wanna put u down/I just want ya all to get down/Everybody come get down to the chicken grease."

Probably that Danny had gotten with someone and Rizzo hasn't. Just because A is no longer in a relationship with B doesn't automatically mean that A is okay with B being with someone else.


There's that House, MD S2-E1 episode. House and Stacey had previously dated. Then they broke up. Stacey married. Stacey and Wilson then see that House is going to Lisa Cuddy's home...

Stacey: Why is he so curious about Cuddy?

Wilson: Why are YOU so curious about his curiosity?

Stacey: Why are you so curious about me being curious of-

Wilson: Because you dumped him and you're married and they are neither of those things.

Stacey: I'm just curious. Nothing wrong with that.

Wilson: No. Nothing wrong with that.

He knew that he messed up. He was trying to be cool in front of his friends.

Dawn "Mancalorian" Keebals

Nah, its the look Rizzo gives him, she knew that the cool persona was fake, she just got confirmation right there.

Can we all just praise Frenchy for being such a good friend to Sandy after Danny acted like a jerk, even though he didn't mean to, she even wiped her tears away and invited her to the sleepover. Not to mention the friendship in real life between Olivia and Didi Conn (who played Frenchy) but R.I.P Olivia Newton-John; It's been a week since you passed, and we still miss you every day.

Kiwi Passport Bro

Why did Danny do that to Sandy for?

Kamryn Jackson

@Kiwi Passport Bro To look cool in front of his peers and keep his bad boy T-Bird persona
