Crushing Me is a song performed by Nancy Nakagawa and Cynthia Zdunowski in the Paramount+ original series, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.
Overview[]
During the fall ball, Nancy pulled Cynthia into the back room of the Frosty Palace to tell her that she had something worse than cancer - a crush. The girls emerged from the back room and a spotlight hit Potato, which answered Cynthia's question of who the crush was on. Everyone except the two girls were frozen, which gave them free reign of the restaurant. Nancy messed with the couples in attendance by repositioning them and swapping objects, while Cynthia found her way to a frozen, yet spotlighted, Lydia. They sang about their crushes and how they had to deal with them. They were later surrounded by the student body and took shelter in the backroom as everyone pressed against the small windows.[1]
Lyrics[]
[Nancy]:
There’s a sickness bubbling up
I need a cure prescribe a drug
Cut it out before it’s love
Oh-oh-oh
My brilliance turned to dust
Fever chills each time we touch
The big C, oh, here it comes
A crush
[Cynthia]:
I can’t control the overflow
Emotions rolling like a stone
My fantasies play hide and seek
I got a crush it’s crushing me
[Nancy]:
It’s crushing me
[Cynthia]:
I got a crush
[Nancy]:
Oh, what the what
[Cynthia]:
It’s just too much
[Nancy]:
Oh, what the what
[Cynthia]:
And honestly
[Nancy]:
Yeah, honestly
[Cynthia]:
It’s crushing me
[Nancy]:
It’s crushing me
Pedestrian and unprepared
For human hormones in the air
And carnal feelings everywhere
Oh-oh-oh
[Cynthia]:
I’ve gotta finally deal with this
Walk right up and just use my lips
It’s all too much weak in the knees
I got a crush it’s crushing me
[Nancy]:
It's crushing me
[Cynthia]:
I got a crush
[Nancy]:
Oh, what the what
[Cynthia]:
It’s just too much
[Nancy]:
Oh, what the what
[Cynthia]:
And honestly
[Nancy]:
Yeah, honestly
[Cynthia]:
It’s crushing me
[Nancy]:
It’s crushing me
