This video of John Travolta singing the classic song from Grease, "You're The One That I Want," to the Australian soccer team is amazing. The actor's endorsement is a unique way to cheer on a team, especially since he's not Australian! John Travolta sings, "You better shape up, cuz I need a team..." just to show how much love he has for the Aussies.
In honor of his endorsement, the Australian team has given him a jersey with TRAVOLTA emblazoned across the back. Oh, John Travolta--your voice has become a little shaky, but you will forever be Danny Zuko to me.
