* HilariousInHindsight: Teen Angel is described as a Fabian lookalike in the original stage script, but in the movie, he's played by a different '50s teen idol, Frankie Avalon. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luuowzzE8E4 A 1998 Denny's commercial]] lampshades those two singers' similarity by having two men argue about whether the song playing in the background is by Fabian or Frankie Avalon. (It's Avalon.) [[note: The two singers are longtime friends; they both grew up in South Philadelpia, Frankie Avalon helped Fabian get into the music business, and they've often sung onstage together over the years.[[/note]]

* FandomEnragingMisconception: Music/ShaNaNa do not play [[AsHimself as themselves]] during the HighSchoolDance sequence in the 1978 film. They actually play a fictional band called "Johnny Casino & The Gamblers". This misconception is believed to have originated from the film's soundtrack album, which credited every song to their respective actors, including Sha Na Na.

*** Another helpful factor is that Danny already loves her as a "good girl," wants to be with her, and has been trying to change for her. She was the one who dumped him when he moved too fast for her sexually at their drive-in date. With that in mind, her transformation definitely isn't so much about pleasing Danny – he's already ready and waiting for her – than about changing her world so he can fit into it.
