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.

That song creeped me out when I was little.

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
