Julie Andrews is so beautiful and classical. And her voice was and is so lovely. National treasure.

"A song will move the job alone." Very correct. Whenever I am doing the housework, I sing, and I feel no pressure at all!

You know you're all grown up when you realise just how gorgeous mary poppins was...

I'm sure I am one of hundreds of kids who tried snapping their fingers to tidy their room, but it didn't work!!! Haha!

Wish I could clean the house like that

I only learned about this last week. Julie Andrews was not yet committed for the part of Mary Poppins. She did not like the song that was written for her, believing it did not have enough snap to it. The original song was called "The Eyes of Love". Walt Disney instructed the Sherman Brothers to come up with something more catchy. Robert Sherman, the primary lyricist of the duo, arrived home from work one evening, having worked all day trying to come up with a song idea. As he walked in the door, his wife, Joyce, informed him that the children had gotten their polio vaccine that day. Robert asked one of his children if it hurt (thinking the child had received a shot). The child responded that the medicine was put on a cube of sugar and that he swallowed it. Realizing what he had, Robert Sherman arrived at work early the next morning with the title of the song "A Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down". Sherman suggested the lyric to his brother, Richard, who was at first dismissive but slowly came around. At his brother's behest, Richard put melody to the lyric, and with that, the song was born

SO THIS IS WERE MY MUM GOT THE IDEA TO MIX MEDICINE WITH SUGAR

Mary Poppins is secretly one of Doctor Who's new incarnations. She can fly, her bag is a bigger on the inside than the outside. She never stays longer than she is needed, always helping those who need it. I'm sure theres more possible evidence but still interesting possibilities.

the robin looks more alive than the children

that moment when mary poppins sassed herself. Sassy Nanny is sassy

her voice and whole presence are so lovely...I can't watch this without smiling

Saving Mr Banks is one of the best ideas Disney's had lately. This film (Mary Poppins) really was revolutionary and there's just so much to pay homage to.

One of the sweetest moments in the cinema - the melody, lyrics, voice and looks of Julie Andrews. So English, so cheerful and sweet.

Wow, the special effects in this classic, is surprisingly, fairly realistic and convincing...

"ahhohohahahhhhhhAhhAHAHHHAAAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" "Cheeky!" Still makes me laugh, that affronted face Julie Andrews puts on :)

In every job that must be done There is an element of fun You find the fun and snap! The job's a game And every task you undertake Becomes a piece of cake A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down The medicine go down-wown The medicine go down Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down In a most delightful way A robin feathering his nest Has very little time to rest While gathering his bits of twine and twig Though quite intent in his pursuit He has a merry tune to toot He knows a song will move the job along - for A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down The medicine go down-wown The medicine go down Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down In a most delightful way The honey bee that fetch the nectar From the flowers to the comb Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro Because they take a little nip From every flower that they sip And hence (And hence), They find (They find) Their task is not a grind. Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h ah! A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down The medicine go down-wown The medicine go down Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down In a most delightful way

She's so elegant. I miss the whole feminine ladylike characters in old movies. it'd do much more dignified than the hypersexualized female characters in modern movies.

If only it was this easy to clean my room.... *sigh*

世代は全く違うけど、この映画を見て育ちました。 メリーポピンズのファッションと世界観本当に大好き

Just watched the movie a few minutes ago. It brought back so many childhood memories. I remember watching this and singing along to every song. This is truly one of the best musicals of all time! Julie Andrews is so pretty and has the voice of an angel! :)

2018?? Can't stop watching this

When I have kids, they will listen to this song... so they will grow to find it fun to clean their own rooms.

I remember when I was little, I'd stay with my Nonna and she'd play some Italian record. One of the songs on it was this one, and she'd sing it to me when giving me a spoomful of orange juice and sugar.

the bird tweeting is julie andrews :) at least thats what the documentary on my dvd says lol

Cheeky

Grew up on this film will always love it !! ❤️❤️

This was the first movie I see in the cinema, when I was just a very little boy, and stays forever in the deep of my heart! Thanks, Julie Andrews! I am sharing it in my Facebook: oamoresperaquevoceoencontre.

WHY ARE THERE AMERICAN ROBINS IN EUROPE?! I hate growing up.

I'm just glad so many people love her as much as I do

I am glad Mary brought a little sunshine to your day.

I want to be a classy woman like Julie Andrews!

With a spoon full of sugar THE DIABETES COME NOW

Strange woman shows up, starts telling the kids the best ways to take "medicine," then all of a sudden they all think they have magical powers and eventually the world goes all cartooney. Pfft.

Julie Andrews is so talented and so pretty and love all her movies and her songs she sang and wonder if Julie does do anymore concets or sing much anymore ! After her throat surgery she was able I think to sing just as good as ever but she did not think so ! Thank you for the video !

THE BEST EVER NANNY OF ALL TIMES IN MAN'S HISTORY! THANKS EVER FROM PARIS FRANCE, we DO appreciate the Stereophonic Sound and WIDE SCREEN! MERCI BEAUCOUP. Emmanuel from Paris

Man, I wish I could clean my house like that. When I was little, I used to snap and wait for my room to clean itself.

Still have fond memories of this song. I would not only snap my fingers (or try to) and wish it would automatically clean my room, but anytime I sang that song everyone around me had to sing along. I still remember when I was four and at church childcare, I started singing that song and the two TAs sang along with me.

Years later and I'm realizing this is a metaphor...? I love you Julie.

I would always watch this when I'd go to my grandma's house as a kid. I thought my grandma was Mary Poppins too. Good memories. 😁

i had a dollhouse just like that .. such fun it was :) ..

I just watched Mr.Banks, now I'm researching all the Mary Poppins songs.

WOW that's an amazing high note there at the end!

When I was little you would not believe the amount of times I stood in my messy room and snapped my fingers saying 'clean dirty room, clean!'

This song created diabetes!

She is so beautiful

I love her precise diction and clear voice. I loved this movie too.

On this day in 1964 {August 27th} the Disney movie "Mary Poppins" had its world premier in Los Angeles, CA Two days later on August 29th it opened in theaters across the U.S.A. and Canada... The film won five Academy Awards; 'Best Actress' {Julie Andrews}, 'Best Original Song' {Chim Chim Cher-ee}, 'Best Special Effects', 'Best Film Editing', and 'Best Musical Score'... Ms. Andrews will celebrate her 78th birthday in thirty four days on October 1st...

The first thing I noticed, seeing this clip after viewing the movie "Saving Mr. Banks," is that the bow on Mary Poppins neck is RED. Well, I guess P.L. Travers eventually gave in on that stipulation she gave to Walt Disney.

"Tidying up is fun and easy, children!" Uses magic.

I wish I had vocal cords like that. I can make animals croak with my voice. 😂

Watched Saving Mr Banks and it was such a wonderful movie!! Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson did so good!! It made me want to watch this movie again!!!

Lol the last part *cheeky* Childhood memories

A spoonful of cinnamon helps the medicine go down.

At last a very good original version of the original film! So rare nowadays! Give up back ours original versions please! And everything will be all right. Merci! Emmanuel from Paris. In France we DO love original Mary Poppins! Emmanuel from Paris

when you're sick af and you can't find anything to eat in the house

Always loved the robin's countermelody in this. Great writing Sherman Bros.

0:55 Oh Good God... The boy looks like Lucius before killing someone... \(OoO)/ No Marry watch out!!

This helps my anxiety thank you

The pulse with modulation helps the motors go round, the motors go roooound the motors, go round.

Saving Mr.Banks' the reason why I'm here :) I was hoping the same set Helen's imagining with horses and lakes then it wasn't XD

Mary Poppins: in every job it must be done there isn't a element of fun, you find the fun and snap the job's a game

I just watched Saving Mr. Banks. Fabulous movie. The movie makes more sense now!

Who wants to watch saving mr banks??im so excited !!

Awdamn all these kids with telekinetic powers. Witch craft! lol kiddin

boy i remeber watching this hoping that witha snap all my chores and works would be done......looollll

I saw this movie with my grandmother..Loved it..She bought me the 78 the same day....Great memories..Yup.I am old 48...

Mary Poppins is the best in 1964!

198 people are cheeky

This is my childhood! Oh how I miss when things were this way! PS. Oh I wish that cleaning was that easy. XD

one of the most accurate historical documents known to man :) I sung this song to my friend the other day she was VERRY angry. I like to think perhaps she was reflecting upon the chimney maintenance strike of 1912. And those my children were dire times.

Spoon full of sugar. (She means diabetes.)

My friend was trying to feed me a bunch of nasty tasting drugs and I said no! But then...oh well....

Who’s watching this in 2018

Indeed, sugar ;spice& cake, how can that not help any medicine go down.?🥛🎂🍦Then you you have Dame Julie Andrews; Mega Star! What Elegance; oh what Panache!& to top it all; the glamour & chic of the 60s! Quite heart warming!😊

Made in 1964 Still loved in 2019

Who’s excited to new Mary Poppins played by Emily Blunt!❣️

Spoon full of sugar keeps the doctor with you nowadays xD

It's official Mary Poppins is the best homemaker in the world.

Ok so we can all agree that she taught the kids witchcraft?

The new movie doesn't do the original justice at all...

Today at my school, my book say, "A Spoon of Full of Suger Helps The Medicine Go Down."

Mary Poppins famous for her umbrella for her fantastic song and for her movie and most famous for her defining the laws of physics

Wow love it

I love the song and video

So this is how Thanos learned how to clean the mess...

I am exactly the 200,000th view! =) LOVE this movie! LOVE Julie Andrews! Why can't they make anything today that remotely compares?

I wish I could snap and all my stuff would just pick itself up.

Why can’t women be like this today?

"Cheeky!" lol :) Mary Poppins will always be one of my favourite films of all time. A true classic. Julie Andrews is love

im a the only one going around cleaning my living room to this song, and occasionally clicking my fingers? :)

smosh!

Watching this as a kid, I remember practicing snapping my fingers fervently, and even though I got it I always thought I wasn't an adult because it din't sound as loud as 0:06. That was dumb.

i work at disney and in the store i work in this song played like 89764589639856 times last night lmao. and now its stuck in my head, so i HAD to hear it haha.

I use to watch this movie as a kid and i wouldnt get tired of it. Now im finally noticing how beautiful Mary Poppins is!

All that crap doesn't matter, Julie Andrews could sing. It was fantasy and she was awesome.

if only i can do that in my room hahahahahahahahaha

The copyright is a heck of a lot older than this indicates This was the first movie I saw in the theatre

Also I never realized how rich these kids were until now. XD
