Pictured: Margo Guryan, reminding us "don't you forget about me". We missed her passing in November 2021. Check out the excellent collection "29 Demos" (hardly "demos"... these are little baroque masterpieces) that reveals a world of remarkable music hitherto unheard.

| Supercalafagalistickespeealadojus (The Super Song) Alan Holmes and His New Tones [Gloria Parker sadly passed] - 10" - Columbia - 1949 |
| The original "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" was written in 1949 by Gloria Parker (sometimes credited as Patricia Smith). Walt Disney corporation was sued for using the word for the famous song in Mary Poppins in 1964, and somehow won (i.e defended themselves in court), claiming that the word supercalafagalistickespeealadojus "existed in the oral tradition". With respect to Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, Disney can stick it. Something quite atrocious, indeed! |
