Before we start making fun of John Travolta, let’s remember that he does a lot of charity work, recently donating money and supplies to Hurricane Sandy relief, and he’s been known to fly planeloads of supplies to disaster areas like Haiti and Hurricane Katrina. That he’s doing a Christmas Album with his old Grease co-star Olivia Newton-John might just be him being a good guy helping an old friend make some easy money. Or he just really likes to sing and dance. Probably a combination of both. (He also made a music video with his daughter once upon a time.)
Anyway, blah blah blah, me talking. Below you can watch John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in their video for “I Think You Might Like It,” of their upcoming album, This Christmas, which I’ve helpfully giffed for you above. You know what, song title? You thought right, I do like it. It’s a sweet little slice of pie about the joys of seeing old friends and wearing black t-shirts. They’re comfortable and slimming. Enjoy.
On my holiday songs playlist, this ranks somewhere between Nicole Westbrook’s “Thanksgiving” and Nerf Herder (that’s Parry Gripp’s band) doing “I’ve Got a Boner for Christmas.” I’ll just go ahead and let you make the obvious Travolta joke there.
[hat tip to ThePlaylist for the tip]



Is the obvious Travolta joke here that he’s gay or that he’s a hack singer/musician wannabe? It’s his toupee isn’t it?
That’s not a toupee, it’s black shoe polish.
So he’s gonna bang her awkwardly in that car while his wife and kids celebrate Xmas in a DMV?
John gets what he wants.
Is it 1978 already?
In the spirit of saying nice things about John Travolta I will add that the guy does seem to have a lot of energy. Acting career, singing/dancing, crazy scientology, charity work, jet pilot, etc.
I barely have enough energy to drive home from work without taking a nap.
His hair looks Chia
The dancing (??) baby at 2:56 makes up for everything.
Where does the entire Oi to the World album by The Vandals rank in that list?
Sup with the chain wallet bruh
Wild Hogs memento
Nice to see John in a Jett again.
Too Soon?
If this doesnt prove his absolute manhood, then I dont know what will
*sigh* Travolta just, man… He makes it too easy.
I dont know what to say
all this talk about his dick sucking and painted hair and no one mentions the ash on his chin?
No kidding. That thing was…not good.
*hides own middling facial hair, feeling of shame
At this point in my internet life, I am just profoundly thankful of any performance that doesn’t auto-tune or emulate gangnam style.
I think … nope. You might … nope. Like it? Huh uh. Feel weird and uncomfortable about it? Yes, sure, absolutely. Aside from everything else, did this video cost $5? Who directed it, because I don’t understand what’s happening. Why is everybody meeting at a Hertz car rental place? Is that supposed to be an airport? Also, there are 8 people in that airport, how hard is it to spot your dad, soldier guy. I mean shit, he works there. I mean, if that’s your dad. Maybe you just had no one to hug and the security guard was just like, aw, c’mere you. I don’t know.
I refuse to watch the music video but I will watch that gif endlessly and try to figure out what music doesn’t go with it perfectly.
Gangnam style? Yup. Shit-kicking hillbilly? Yup. Lord of the Dance? Yup. Polka? Yup. Belly dance music? Yup. Benny Hill-style “Yakety Sax?” Yup.
I give up, those two crazy kids and their mad dance skilz have won my heart.
This video reminds me of the kind of thing your overly-exuberant aunt and uncle would send the whole family for Christmas. You know the ones that have no kids but make up for it by having a bunch of dogs and Jesus quotes all around the house.
what, no “Welcome Back Kotter” Xmas album?
No Juan Epstein, tho. Can’t have any of THOSE people mucking it up.
