LAST NIGHT, when Grease: Live was slapped on our screens by Fox, we got to witness the latest (and greatest) live TV musical. The star-studded celebration of 1950s teen-dom kicked small-screen-Broadway up a notch, thanks to killer performances by Vanessa Hudgens, Aaron Tveit, Julianne Hough, Keke Palmer, and Carly Rae Jepson. It was automatic, systematic, hydromatic, and very dramatic! WE’RE NOT getting off this non-stop nostalgia train just yet, though. Since we’re hopelessly devoted to the melodic masterpiece, we’ve put together all the GIFs necessary to work Danny and Sandy into every aspect of our digital lives. Here are 28 GIFs perfect for anything a Grease fan might need to express for the foreseeable future. Find the one that you want! (The one that you want, ooh ooh ooh…)
