The Angel descends from the heavens, then pointedly sings to her that she lacks work ethic and suggests that she return to high school so that she might eventually qualify for a career as a stenographer later in life.
(The lyrics are adjusted in the film version to leave Frenchy's decision unstated; the character's cameo in Grease 2 implies that she does not return until years later.)
In 2012, the song was featured in an episode of the TV musical series Glee and in the related extended play soundtrack in a version sung by Darren Criss.
Teen Angel, played by Pat Hysell, was a ghost of the '50s who reminisced of his days at the malt shop with Betty Sue and their dates at the drive-in theater.
Sandy and Richard Riccardi parodied the song as "Tiki Torch Nazis", in reference to the neo-Nazi rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.
