The theme song, "Grease", was written by Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees, very much linking the movie to Producer Robert Stigwood's and Writer and Producer Allan Carr's hit, La febbre del sabato sera (1977). "Grease" is also a 1970s-style disco/funk song, although the musical takes place in the 1950s, making it somewhat anachronistic. The lyrics describe a lost generation in revolt and the rebellion, which described the Baby Boomer Generation and the 1960s and 1970s better than the Eisenhower Era Silent Generation of the 1950s. Director Randal Kleiser did not like the theme song, since it did not fit the movie very well, but he put it in anyway after pressure from the producers and the studio to do as many tie-ins to La febbre del sabato sera (1977) as possible. The song became a hit and audiences seem to love it, even though it is not from the original musical, and really has nothing to do with the movie at all.
