Thanks for that! Although it did seem a little staged, but that’s all right: they were having fun.
I found this scene from “Saving Mr Banks” to be quite inspiring:

I learned what the word ‘atrocious’ meant by listening to
that song (Supercali..)

It’s sad that he should burn in hell for one minor sin in great catalog of harmless catchy tunes.

It’s specifically mentioned in the latest updates to the Geneva Convention.

Along with LeRoy Neiman paintings.

Woke had already taken over the studio by then, but I really did like Saving Mr. Banks.

(who also co-wrote “It’s a Small World (After All))

I was severely-tortured with that song
during what seemed like a 45-minute
boat ride at Disney, around 1985.

The first 2-3 minutes were cute.

As it dragged on and on and on
I was ready to confess to being
on the Grassy Knoll in 1963.

The horror. The horror.

Something I never experienced again
until I saw the Urban Sombrero. 😲😱🙀🤯

I think all of us who say we ‘hate’ that song, do it with a wink and a smile. Paul MCartney and Phil Collins had the same kind of trouble, that of certain songs becoming ubiquitous and ‘too popular’.

Don Henley of The Eagles said when he sits in a taxi, and the radio is playing Hotel California, he very quickly asks the driver to either change the music or turn it off. He involuntarily goes through every guitar strum in his head when he hears it.

Watch the bio-documentary of “The Boys” about the brothers. It is excellent, the words in this article uses song that are nothings compared to what they did create. It was touching and left an impression of the beautiful time us Boomers were blessed to live in. Entertainment was, entertaining, fresh and GAY.

Society took that word from us. I hate the “gays” for that before even thinking of their putrid acts.
