  • Thats Benny Hill with Sally at the beginning.

  • my sisters favourite song to sing to her grandchildren. we played it at her funeral. hope you reached the mountain sis

  • How could you not just fall in love with Dick van Dyke?

  • thanks for putting this on

    brilliant

  • she was one of my first crushes 8-)

  • R&B version would rule

  • aperntly i used to watch this movie every single day after school when i was little well littler im 15

  • One of the Greatest movies of all times..

  • Beautiful! Thanks

  • Wow. That boy was just mesmerized with Truly...although I kind of was too.

  • I'm sorry but Sally Ann Howes stole the scene here, and I think she should have sung the entire song. Dick Van Dyke is special in his own way, but for this song, Truly Scrumptious was amazing.

  • @WiiRemoter she was SUPPOSED to steal the song, that was the idea, she was coming in as the strength

  • Ah don't you miss classic movies like this? they just don't make them like this any more...and I'm only 14...I miss movies like bednobs and broomsticks, the labyrinth and beetle juice :3

  • Thank God Sally Ann Howes got involved, Dick Van Dyke started off perhaps a little too creepy... what with the hair touching and the face carressing and all...

  • @ShieldsCake  This film was made in a time when it was considered quite normal for men to be tender with children - the fact that this creeps people out these days is testament to the success of decades of feminist campaigning to demonize all men as potential paedophiles. Odious.

  • dick van dike has an awesome voice and is one of the best singers at the time :P

  • its pretty, i love dick van dykes voice its so soft and sweet

  • <3

  • i love this song. It makes me want to cry, sing along, and fall asleep all at the same time!

  • What I Love so much about this song is how Dick Vandyke breaks up while singing the song... and how the woman he loves restores him.... A pure Faustus moment.

  • this songs makes me drive my troubles away-makes me feel peaceful x

  • "Are you here to help us?"

    "Sure am! Here's a song that should patch you right up."

  • @rupertandbill I hope you can't imagine just how true your words are. Normally, I lost myself in books before I was older & escaped in more unacceptable ways to numb myself from the abuse from an alcoholic father who went after me then tried to beat on my brother but I picked fights to turn his anger to me so he'd leave my brother alone. I was the oldest, a girl but still it was my job to keep him safe. We escaped into movies like this when possible & it helped.We broke the abuse & alcoholism.

  • @mainebitch69: You're the same age as my oldest daughter. I can remember playing this movie for her as a child. She wouldn't sleep at night w/o my singing songs like Hushabye Mtn, Feed the Birds, My Favorite Things, etc... By the time our 2nd came 10yrs later, I was singing the same along w/Once Upon a December & other Disney Classics b4 the magic appeared on the screen vs in the imagination & minds of children. It's why these movies are so precious to me.

  • I sing this song whenever I say to myself never despair.

  • I never understood why Truly had to sing her part like an opera singer instead of a lullaby.

  • @Sideshow1111 nope. I also have that honour :)

  • why does this song make me cry man! :'(

  • This song just made my freakin day . . . or night. jimbax 1204, your nephew is one lucky man. I would die to have them sing that song to me.

  • I'm so jealous of Sally's voice! I would do anything to sound half as beautiful as she does (and to look that way, as well)!

  • This is such a sad haunting song

  • Dick Van Dyke is so freaking talented.

  • i love this movie and this song!

    i love all the old classic movies and songs!

  • this makes me want to watch the movie so bad...

  • @Sideshow1111 That just means you rock. ;)

  • this movie ranks up there among the all time best. i'm 45 y/o and i still watch it when i want to feel good inside. i have a 48 y/o friend at my job who shares the same sentiment and we occasionally sing the songs from the movie. BTW, did they ever make Toot Sweets in real life/

  • Sally Ann Howes has a beautiful, yet under-rated voice.

  • I'm singing thisfor an end of term solo at school :) I'm really nervous because it's the first time I've ever sung in front of an audience :S But I love the song and always have :D

  • @julie11061 Hi. I'm a music instrument and singing teacher in Norway. (from England) If you love the song, - and you must as it is SOOO beautiful,- then that should be enough to help you control your nerves. Just remember, 'Take the meaning of the song and it's beauty and SHOW, and SHARE it with the audience. Break a leg - as we say in theatre.

  • @michael72401 Thanks :) I didn't end up singing this song but 'Without You' from My Fair Lady, but I'll keep this in mind. Thank You

  • Martin, I've just re-watched this recently and have picked up so much more in the film than from when I was a kid...I never realized that Potts was so choked up that Truly stepped in to comfort the kids. A wonderful, touching moment...yea, they'll be a great married couple!

  • @GreenJeansCO

    That bit wasn`t actually part of the script, but for real ! The producers found it so touching that they decided not to edit, but to leave it as it was.

  • absoloutley love this song, cant find the first version in english anywhere

  • who doesn't love this song!

    One of the best things about having little kids at home is getting re-acquainted with great movies like CCBB!

  • this song always made me cry

  • i've said on another post that i loved this film when growing up (still do in fact) and now my daughter (who's nearly 4) loves it too, so many memorable scenes, a true classic that spans generations

  • @silkyskilz I'm thirteen and love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang :) I also love Dick Van Dyke, audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews and of course The Sound of Music :D

  • they need to make movies like this again

  • Im Feeling very old now because the boy they are singing to is my nephew steve and he is now 51 yrs old lol

  • @jimbax1204 wow! tell him I said hi :)

  • @jimbax1204 oh wow!! your nephew must have been feeling completely special having a telented man and woman singing a beautiful song to him :)

  • @jimbax1204 :O NO WAY!?

  • @jimbax1204

    I know what you mean. My uncles are in this scene. They're not cute little boys any more.

  • @jimbax1204 if it's not too much to ask, would you please thank your nephew Steve for his part in bringing so much joy to other children but also to my brother & I as children as well as our children now, even my 24yo... :) I'd love to get an autograph from him to tuck away as a memento of better movies where special effects were the imagination of the mind vs special additions to the sets w/green screens & CGI.

  • @jimbax1204 oh my gosh!! such a lucky kid :( my dream is to meet dick van dyke(: <3

  • Sally Anne Howes had take over from Dick Van Dyke, because he was so emotionally overcome. If you look at 1:00 minute you can actually see his bottom lip quiver.

  • @Martin4963 I've just re-watched this recently and have picked up so much more in the film than from when I was a kid...I never realized that Potts was so choked up that Truly stepped in to comfort the kids. A wonderful, touching moment...yea, they'll be a great married couple!
