Ranking the Top 5 Mary Poppins Songs
A spoonful of nostalgia makes everything go down
Whether you first saw Julie Andrews gliding down from the clouds on her umbrella or caught Emily Blunt's charming take in Mary Poppins Returns, the music from this magical nanny's world is pure Disney gold.
But which songs truly stand the test of time? Let's take a cheerful stroll down Cherry Tree Lane and find out.
5. "A Spoonful of Sugar"
Ever tried to make chores fun? Julie Andrews' sunny optimism somehow turns cleaning up after two mischievous kids into a full-blown party - with dancing toys and whistling birds. It's offers some solid life advice, whether you're tidying up or just trying to get through Monday.
4. "Step in Time"
The chimney sweeps' rooftop number is a riot of kicks, leaps, and sooty grins. Dick Van Dyke leads the charge with impossible footwork, and you can't help but tap your foot - even if your knees aren't quite as limber as Bert's.
3. "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
Try saying it three times fast - or spelling it without cheating. This ridiculous word has been living rent-free in our heads for decades. The song itself is pure joy: silly, clever, and a reminder that sometimes nonsense is exactly what the nanny ordered.
2. "Feed the Birds"
The emotional heart of the film. "Feed the Birds" is soft, haunting, and heartbreakingly simple. Walt Disney supposedly said this was his favorite song ever written for a Disney movie.
1. "Chim Chim Cher-ee"
Whether it's Bert serenading Mary or the slower reprise near the end, this song just feels iconic. At the top - the Oscar-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee." It's the sound of old London rooftops, soot and starlight, and wonder.
