Trivia
- This is the only song from Yes/No to not be about marriage. All the other songs were either about a wedding or numbers meant for a proposal.
- The performance of this song was filmed at the same school where the original performance in the movie Grease was shot, namely "Venice High School" in Los Angeles.
- Each of the Grease characters are played by the following New Directions members:
- The T-birds by the New Directions Boys (Excluding Kurt and Artie)
- Danny by Sam Evans
- Doody and Sonny by Rory Flanagan
- Putzie (Roger in the stage version) by Finn Hudson
- Kenickie by Noah Puckerman
- The Pink Ladies by the New Directions Girls and Kurt Hummel
- Sandy by Mercedes Jones
- Marty by Sugar Motta
- Rizzo by Kurt Hummel
- Jan by Santana Lopez
- Frenchy by Tina Cohen-Chang
- Rachel played Patty Simcox. It should be noted that Patty Simcox is not a member of The Pink Ladies.
- The T-birds by the New Directions Boys (Excluding Kurt and Artie)
- Although Kurt sings Rizzo's line, Santana makes several gestures Rizzo makes during the song, such as kicking Mercedes (Sandy) and Rachel (Patty) off the bench.
- This is the first time Santana played Rizzo, the second time was in Glease.
- Kurt was originally planned to sing with the boys, but Chris Colfer suggested to Ryan Murphy that it wouldn't be in character for Kurt so he changed it.
- This song was foreshadowed in Hold on to Sixteen, where Mercedes said to Sam: "We had a summer fling!".
- The last verses, "It turned colder, that's where it ends" and "Then we made our true love vow" are sung by Sam as Danny and "So I told [him] we'd still be friends," and "Wonder what [he]'s doing now" are sung by Mercedes as Sandy. However, in the original, those verses are sung by the other character.
- Artie is the only New Directions member absent from this number, due to the fact that he couldn't have climbed up and walked on the bleachers by himself.
- This song was meant to be sung in the Pilot episode, as shown in the original script.
- Although this song was released in Season Three, it was also included on the Glee: The Music Presents Glease released during Season Four.
- This song is mentioned by Blaine again in Tested. He also mentions that Kurt did the Rizzo part to explain that Kurt used to be much more feminine than he is now.
Errors
- In the performance, Brittany stands up, but then the shot is moved to a different camera angle and Brittany's sitting again and it goes back and forth.
