    John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John team up for bizarre Christmas video

    By Courtney Hazlett, TODAY

    If you watched the fantastic Mariah Carey-Jimmy Fallon "All I Want for Christmas" video, you know precisely what it's like to feel warm and fuzzy about a holiday song. If you're wondering what the exact opposite of that feeling is, we invite you to watch "I Think You Might Like It," a new holiday music video that features John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.

    Watch on YouTube

    We knew that Danny and Sandy (this is a "Grease" reference, if you were born after 1980) were coming together for a Christmas album. At the time of the announcement, it was said that "I Think You Might Like It" would be a sort of sequel to "You're the One That I Want," which the two sang together in "Grease."

    Insofar as this latest collaboration comes after the pair worked together in "Grease," "I Think You Might Like It" is indeed a sequel. But how the video and song -- which features Travolta descending from a private jet, contrived two-stepping, and lots of pasted-on smiles and melodramatic reunions -- continues the story told in "You're the One That I Want" is something of a mystery. A cup of curdled egg nog might go down easier than this.

    But, like it or not, it's for a good cause. All proceeds of the album itself are said to be going to the Jett Travolta Foundation, honoring Travolta's late son, and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Center.

    We go together! John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John reunite for upcoming Christmas album

    Hip-O via amazon.com

    "This Christmas."

    By Randee Dawn, TODAY contributor

    They're still hopelessly devoted to singing together: "Grease" stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John have reunited for a holiday album called "This Christmas."

    MusicFix at NineMSN.com quoted Travolta saying, "My desire was to make 'This Christmas' an intimate album, not something too ostentatious or showy. I wanted people to be able to play it around the house or in the car during the holidays, and make us part of your celebration."

    The album is reportedly also going to feature the musical stylings of Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Cliff Richard and Kenny G.

    The actors famously first appeared on screen together in the 1978 musical "Grease." One of the songs on the new album, "I Think You Might Like It,"  is said to be a sequel to "You're The One That I Want," which the two sang in the film.

    "(The album) just fell into place. With our busy schedules, I don't know how we got it done," said Newton-John in the statement.

    All proceeds are said to be going to the Jett Travolta Foundation, honoring Travolta's late son, and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Center.

    The album is slated to be out Nov. 13.
