I remember it being produced by my grandmother whenever we'd go and visit - as a Salvationist there weren't many films that she approved of. I'm off to fly a kite (up to the highest height).

Now I always liked to think it went:

Chim, Chimeney, Chim, Chimeney, Chim, chim cheroo

but perhaps our resident expert with the lyrics could tell me how it was really spelt - the above is best intoned with a mock cockney accent just like Dick would do.

Come along now, spit spot.

That's "Chim-Chim-Cheree," which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

I don't own the soundtrack, but do have the DVD. I'm not ashamed.

Great movie. Dick Van Dyke is really talented.

To my mind his greatest work has been in diagnosis murder alongside his own son. What i really like is how stars from other hit series tend to turn up - the episode with Quincy in really made my day when i saw it.

He's certainly the most convincing american playing an englishman that i've ever seen on screen

Is that the same Academy that gave the award to Uncle F**ka and It ain't easy being a pimp (or whatever this year's winner was called).

look at the 5th link...

What was it? It'll be different depending on how you spell supercalifragilisticexpialidotious. :) Oddly enough, when I tried this just now, I didn't get a spelling correction...I tried several different spellings and I got hits on all of them. I think it only offers you spelling corrections if an adjacent spelling is a real word or has significantly more hits than the one you chose?

Anyways, it *is* funny. :)

Whats wrong with those...i mean i'm not a big fan of being a pimp or the F$$ uncle but the songs made a point.

Just like picking.....may it be from enya.....does it matter if its easy being a pimp.:)

But even then, he's pretty rubbish :D

I'd agree that Diagnosis Murder is probably his best work. When is it that his grandson also appears?
