May Richard Sherman rest in peace!

It's from the Disneyland Records Album "10 Songs from Mary Poppins" (DQ-1256) with Marni Nixon and Bill Lee.

First comment! When I was little, I dreaded listening to this song, because, for some reason, laughing things tended to creep me out.

Yeah, but time actually has been kind to the song, cause when I saw "Mary Poppins" for the first time back in about 1980, I had no problem with it (granted at least in the movie you had Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke singing as well as Ed Wynn; though when I listened to this version for the first time in a long time a few years ago, I wasn't sure what to think). Granted, it might have been harder to get over it had it been one of the better-known songs in the movie.
