Poll question: Best song in Mary Poppins
... since we're seeing all these commercials for the 45th anniversary edition re-re-release which makes one wonder if they are planning a re-re-re-release in five years for the fiftieth.

1. Chim chiminey Chim chiminey
The only thing that could make that song better is transcribing it to D minor.

2. Chim Chim Cheree
That song creeped me out when I was little.

Still does, kinda.

4. Yep.
And probably why my musical tastes tend toward the gloom and doom.

6. Didn't "Chim chim cheree" win an Oscar for best song that year?
I think it was nominated at least.

9. Chim Chim Cheree
If John Coltrane did a cover version of the tune, you know it doesn't suck.
