Mary Poppins (song)
"Mary Poppins" is a song from the 2015 stage musical "Love Birds" with music and lyrics by Robert J. Sherman. It is sung by "The Original Quack Pack", a penguin barbershop quartet who resemble the penguins from the 1964 Walt Disney motion picture, "Mary Poppins". In dialogue leading up to the song, the penguins explain that while they did know the same nanny, (Mary Poppins) they are not the same penguins as in the movie. The song expresses their longing for the magical nanny of literary fame.
J. Pat O'Malley
Walt Disney engaged O'Malley to provide voices for animated films such as the Cockney coster in the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" sequence in "Mary Poppins" (1964); Cyril Proudbottom, Winkie, and a policeman in "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" (1949); and the role of Colonel Hathi (Disney character) and the vulture Buzzie in "The Jungle Book" (1967). His voice can be heard in "Alice in Wonderland" (1951), in which he performs all the character voices in "The Walrus and the Carpenter" segment (besides Alice), including Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Walrus, the Carpenter, and Mother Oyster. O'Malley also provided the voice of Br'er Fox in "Song of the South" (1946) when James Baskett was unavailable. Actor Dick Van Dyke has said that O'Malley was his dialect coach on "Mary Poppins", attributing his infamous Cockney accent in that film to O'Malley.
