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.

My favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I-b_GJ4ltk

[Dr. Strange]

1. Chim chiminey Chim chiminey

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

[Iggo]

2. Chim Chim Cheree

That song creeped me out when I was little.

Still does, kinda.

[Dr. Strange]

3. Me too.

Which is probably why I liked it.

[Iggo]

4. Yep.

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

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. gloom and doom Mary --

6. Didn't "Chim chim cheree" win an Oscar for best song that year?

I think it was nominated at least.
