Even when it came to Hopelessly Devoted to You.

"Care to dance?" she asked him hopefully.
"Sure," said Johnny.
Allanna walked over to the person in charge of the music and asked that they play the song Johnny and Sandy first danced to. It was Those Magic Changes by the Sha-Na-Na's.

"Thank you ladies and gentlemen," called the lead singer as the song ended. "We'll be taking a little break. Be back in five minutes."

"It's time to Hand Jive," called Johnny. "Born to hand jive baby. Born to hand jive baby. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Born to hand jive."
"Those are the only words he knows in that song," said Allanna to Sandy.
Both girls walked off rolling their eyes.
Tears on my Pillow: Sha-Na-Na
"Tears on my pillow. Tears in my heart over you," sang the lead singer. As the couples once more slow danced to the band that was hired. Allanna never could stand this song. It was so slow and moody. She liked fast paced music. Oh well. It did make good dancing music though.

Everyone started to laugh. Allanna looked around. "What's going on?" she asked.
"One of the guys playing the T-Birds in the musical Grease thought that they'd pull the same prank as in the play," said her friend Mirax. "You know the one that came after the Hand Jive song."
She looked over and sure enough there were the three T-Birds mooning everyone.

"Well. I saw the potential that no one else was able to see." He knelt down in the middle of the dance floor and pulled out a ring. "Mirax Jeffers will you marry me."
"Yes."
