"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (/ˌsuːpərˌkælɪˌfrædʒɪˌlɪstɪkˌɛkspiˌælɪˈdoʊʃəs/ SOO-pər-KAL-ih-FRAJ-ih-LISS-tik-EKS-pee-AL-ih-DOH-shəss) is a song and single from the 1964 Disney musical film Mary Poppins. It was written by the Sherman Brothers, and sung by Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.[1] It also appears in the 2004 stage show version. Because Mary Poppins was a period piece set in 1910, songs that sounded similar to songs of the period were wanted.[2] The movie version finished at #36 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
