[SuperMetalhead96]

i love how what he plays is the 3 songs that he has a big vocal part in

[incrediblehulkmovies]

I'M A MANIAC, MANIAC! THAT'S FOR SURE!  ...AND I'M DANCIN' LIKE I'VE NEVER DANCED BEFORE!!!

[JasonCardinalMusic]

check out my one man band composite I do a cover of Neil Young on my page

[ahmedhow]

The "Winds From The East" Part Gives Me The Chills

[LoreneFaith]

@ahmedhow It does that to me too. Dick Van Dyke really captures the moment with the look he gives and the tone of his voice.

[LoreneFaith]

@Brian88Jay That is very true.

[Mortadelo658]

Maybe he did not do the best cockney accent but I think everybody love Dick Van Dyke.

Specially me.

In fact, I have to say that Van Dyke never practice any dance at all and he said that his most memorable performance, and also his favourite, was the role of Bert in this movie

[LoreneFaith]

@Mortadelo658 I love Dick Van Dyke. He is such a charming and naturally talented man. He is still adorable!

[Mortadelo658]

@LoreneFaith

I love him too.

He is inmense and of course a very talented man

[kryptonianpowers]

"Ah, Mrs. Cory; a story for you. Your daughters were shorter than you, but they grew."

[CaptainSpitafrolli]

He's not Dick Van Dyke, he's God disguised as Dick Van Dyke.

[Mortadelo658]

@CaptainSpitafrolli

Amen

[miticomarci]

how is it called and where can i find a drum like this one, you put on your back and play with your foot?

[YukiCookie07]

It's all solemn and quiet, Andrew barks, and Bert goes, "I'm sorry where was I?" AND HE BURSTS WITH MUSIC 8D

[77J]

The last song in Bert's One Man Band sounded like Step in Time.

[Mortadelo658]

@77J

And the First One like Jolly Holiday

[CSx220494]

favourite part of the entire movie, used to watch this over & over!!

[MagicEmperor]

Thanks for uploading this video! I'm bummed that this sequence wasn't in the special edition soundtrack. Well, all of it, I mean.

[LoreneFaith]

@MagicEmperor I don't know why this was not included in the soundtrack. It is one of the best songs in the movie!

[euginam91]

I don't care if that the worst cockney accent ever attempted... I still love the way he talks

[LoreneFaith]

@euginam91 I totally agree:)

[kansaspacific]

@euginam91 according to his interview with Craig Ferguson his speech coach was an Irishman named Pat O'mally

[POLE7645]

@kansaspacific You must mean J. Pat O'Malley. He's been a voice actor in a lot of Disney movies.

[POLE7645]

@kansaspacific You must mean J. Pat O'Malley. He's been a voice actor in a lot of Disney movies.

[NatRoxActing]

i'm in this play and i play bert this part is REALLY fun

[LoreneFaith]

@NatRoxActing That's great! Bert would be so fun to play. What a character he is :)

[Harmthuria]

@LoreneFaith We did a Mary Poppins adaptation at my High-School, nearly every guy in the cast showed up to play Bert.

[LoreneFaith]

@Harmthuria He would be a very fun character :)

[NatRoxActing]

@NatRoxActing

yep- oh time 4 my play!

[C3P0meetsData]

What region is his accent from?

[Harmthuria]

@C3P0meetsData I think he made it up. Wouldn't surprise me in fact.

[GatameOne]

1:30 I like how dick van dyke sensed the presents of Mary poppins.

[blayz3227]

I just relized he plays songs that will be in the movie later...haha

[GatameOne]

steepin time steppin time im singin on youtube steppin time steppin time steppin time singin on youtube steppin time.

[nonamethesecund]

oooooh so he is trying to fake a british accent? because I have always loved that accent, thought it was pretty funny. But I didn't know which accent it was... then he did a pretty bad british accent yeah..

[setsuna2021]

this is one of my fav parts of the movie!! when the wind changes and he starts 'winds in the east, mist coming in' :D:D:D

[LoreneFaith]

@setsuna2021 Yes, you can just feel the magic in that moment.

[Mortadelo658]

@setsuna2021

Yeah, Dick Van Dyke really Knows how to announce the Arrival of Mary Poppins.

I wonder if that instrument really exist.

Of course I Know all exists, but All joined together ?

[greggles2k8]

@LoreneFaith whats a British accent supposed to be?

[Mortadelo658]

@greggles2k8

I Believe is Cockney

[dontleademsomuch]

one man bands are dying out

[LoreneFaith]

@dontleademsomuch Sad but true. All of the old time entertainment is dying out and none of the modern stuff can ever replace it. I know a guy who still does a one man band in Tennessee.

[dontleademsomuch]

@LoreneFaith yeah i know what you mean, i miss badger baiting myself.

[SwampDaddy7]

@dontleademsomuch No idea worthwhile in this life ever dies out. They just go underground, out of sight from anyone until a few more people get the idea and bring it back, even for a little while.

[HubertKern]

hi,hi.hi,ho..schön,,,,

[TheAgent181]

step in time, step in time

step in time, step in time

never need a reason, never need a rhyme

step in time, we step in time

[Mortadelo658]

@TheAgent181

He, he.

You noticed that too.

But First, when the video starts it´s a Jolly Holiday

[bigpun721]

ahhahahha half the time he's fumbling the accordian around. jokes.

[LoreneFaith]

@EndlessLaymon Millions adore Dick Van Dyke in his role as Bert regardless at the bad attempt of a British accent.

[harmonyXsuzukaze]

@EndlessLaymon Uh, it's was a family movie not a rude movie there would be now.

It was also probably be more better to get someone who was legible.

So hence Dick was chosen also cause he worked with Disney before.

[Mortadelo658]

@harmonyXsuzukaze

Nope.

This was the first colaboration Van Dyke- Disney.

Before this movie, Van Dyke was working in his own show:

The show of Dick Van Dyke.

And I don´t think Chitty Chitty Bang Bang counts because is movie from the Metro Goldwyn Mayer

[BabyGurl00818]

He sounds australian in this. Just like the guy with the scottish accent on 'Neighbours', tries to sound aussie, but can't fully hide the scottish accent. lol. Dick is a legend. Just unfortunate he has the names 'Dick' and 'Dyke' thrown 2gether. xD

[2Touchstone]

Garwd bloimey Moiary, wot a flamin' palaver!

[Videot01]

You could really tell Dick was faking that accent. But i don't care he's still awesome.

[FlameAmigo619]

God I love this movie...I've missed seeing this too.

[sitadown]

Not Fred Astaire, not even Gene Kelly.

The best Male dancer in the history of cinema is Van Dyke, Dick Van Dyke.

I love him

[LoreneFaith]

@sitadown I love him too! There is and forever will only be ONE Dick Van Dyke!!!

[AashGlodian]

The best!!

LOL

Take care

Aasha

[Aluevius]

Great film, Bert was funny. What is his surname? Not Dick Van Dyke, I mean the character Bert. It was a question in a pub quiz and I can't remember.

[LoreneFaith]

Yes he did not do the best cockney accent but he is so talented, who cares :)

[Mortadelo658]

@LoreneFaith

I´m absolutely agree with you

[BalmungSama0]

Wow. Worst British accent ever. Worse than Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Still, I gotta love Dick.

[bud9133]

I need that musical apparatus. And I need it now.

[AAMLfan]

"The conshtable's responshtable."

I love that. :D

[peace2baby]

I love Dick Van Dyke! This was the first movie I ever saw as a kid in the theater (age 4 in 1965)

You notice how how he accidentally drops his (not too perfect cockney) accent at 1:50 ("Oh I'm sorry, where was I?")

Still LOVE him! thanks for all the laughter, Dick!

[LoreneFaith]

Yes, he was criticized for his less than perfect accent in Mary Poppins but what would the film be without him. I adore him and always will. I hope you read these comments Dick. We love you!

[kamaraeahokulani121]

Haha, the Corey girls are TALL! I know, stating the obvious, but wow! lol

[Kross2099]

I adore the mystic and mildly haunting way that he predicts Mary's arrival and especially the confused expressions on his audience.

I also love that bashful expression on Mrs. Lark when he begins the poem for her.

[LoreneFaith]

I love that too! He really captures the magic of the moment. Such a wonderful actor and performer. Yes Mrs. Lark is adorable. How innocent people used to be.

[AAMLfan]

And Bert's expression as he approaches her, like he knows his effect on her. lol

[superjules]

The Rahsaan Roland Kirk of West End

[dmace81]

Dick van dyk kicks ass. He kinda reminds me of David Tennant cuz of his wackyness. hehe.

[sistalein]

Oh me golly, I love Bert xD

[oprachik]

man i love dick van dyke!

[DerMetzgermeisterF]

You love dick :D

No just kiddin' gotta love the man.

[gosaimasu]

he sounds like a mix between president kennedy and jason statham...

[RosesNightengales]

No one gave bert money. =[

[Mortadelo658]

@RosesNightengales

Yes, Miss Lark gave him money

[RevanDuvalcane]

The thing about Bert's cockney accent is that it was supposed to sound badly done, it was satirical of the time and place. And the accent appealed a lot to kids cause of how funny it sounded.

[Imatotalfreak]

His accent wasn't the worst, but I think its poorness added to his character. :)

I have such a crush on Bert, haha~

[MrGramparules]

The American Peter Cook

[RukarSylvan]

That accent is horrible, but this still CRACKED me up.

[Josephdorf03]

Oh my god. I haven't watched this thing since I was I kid and while it's great, I realize now how terrible that cockney accent is.

[beltran393]

my music teacher told me to watch this

[LoreneFaith]

This is music history as the "one man band" used to be a lot more common than they are now. This sort of thing seems to be dying out in our more "sophisticated" (so called) age.

[rafastil]

i do too- think dvd's a top man.

i'm just saying that's quite a horrid accent like. :)

[LoreneFaith]

It was really awesome to see a clip from a show with one of the Sherman brothers at the piano and Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke reunited to sing a couple of songs together. Both of them are such special and talented people :)

[rafastil]

you can hear the american twang through mockney.

decent movie though.

[LoreneFaith]

Dick Van Dyke did not do the best job at a Cockney accent but he was adorable in the film non the less! I love Dick Van Dyke!

[guitargirllover]

awesome way to star the movie!!! best movie ever!!!

[scarlettbat]

I just bought the movie soudtrack and this song isn't on there! Criminal!

[LoreneFaith]

It is criminal that song is not on the soundtrack. I can't understand why.

[CP1234hello22]

your daughters were shorter than you but they grew lol

[rYiOkUn]

Oh it's been like, forever since I've seen this. XD Amazing. :D

[LoreneFaith]

Yes he is and the whole "one-man-band" thing is awesome. I have a friend who still does this sort of thing. He mostly does it at civil war reenactments. I wish there were more young people who would learn it and keep it alive.

[Barclay1987]

He is very cool!

[OvaandUnderDawg]

I do love Dick van Dyke, but i have to say his attempted cockney accent is notoriously bad...

[LoreneFaith]

Yes he did not do the best at that but in the 60's it did not matter so much as it would now. He was very charming as Bert regardless :)

[OvaandUnderDawg]

yes, i would have to agree on that. :D

[Raquelzeebob]

lol yeh but i think thats part of berts charm

[zeldaisme]

When I was 3-5 I used to run up to the TV when my grandma played this, and KISS Dick Van Dyke !

I used to have the BIIIIGEEEESSSTTTT crush on him, and I still do ! :D

[LoreneFaith]

I always have too. I loved him in the movies and on the Dick Van Dyke show. It was great to see him recently in "Night at the Museum".

[Heligoland43]

When I came to this video I expected a bevy of related videos with similar setups to old Bert's, from the laughably amateurish to the freakishly impressive and complex! But not a one? Can it be? Has the art form of the one man band died out? Forsooth. Seriously, indie kids, someone needs to get on this!

[LoreneFaith]

I know one guy named Billy in the Nashville area who does the one man band thing. He mostly does old American music like Stephen Foster. He is wonderful!

[JamieRroy]

hahahahaahahahahahahahahaa!!!!­

[lugialover09]

I felt so sad when almost no one gave him any money. :(

[x19041992x]

I WANT THAT THING!!

so bad! :D

[chickenringNYC]

Cymbal to the face!  Hahahaha

[therandomherrro]

"all happened before" gives me chills everytime :)

[LoreneFaith]

Yes it does the same for me. I think it is the way that he says it. It is magical.

[WastedPo]

I agree. I rivals the romantic, mysterious tone towards the end when Bert looks up the Banks chimney with the kids and sings about the "chimney top world."

[Winterstick549]

@therandomherrro What was Bert talking about?

[ricky424242]

That's IT! I am totally making that contraption.

[ladydetemps]

Its amazing how he can play the concertina ( 0.08)...when he's not even holding it. lol!

[LOTSOFHOBBIES]

I want to do that in Hollywood. I'd want the same thing but a Bari Sax and a Bassoon on the side. Although the Bassoon's bocol will bend if you march with it.

[DarkSparky008]

i love this music

[Taveronzolo]

*he is Burzum...

[Taveronzolo]

It's Burzum...is it right?

[LOTSOFHOBBIES]

That cymbal parts was the funniest of all and the honking horn and the bass drum also

[closedtightwall]

THAT IS SO MY TEACHER!

[LOTSOFHOBBIES]

whad a nutz video

[TotallyAwesomeSocks]

I've always wanted one of those...

[DADABallerina]

I've always imagined having such an instrument ^^

[JPFHIM]

LOVE HIM HES IMENSE!

[TacticusPrime]

Dick Van Dyke is so the man.

[LoreneFaith]

He is a very talented man. I really loved him in this role!

[morethanalittlecrazy]

i couldn't agree more!! he's such a ledge!

[Mortadelo658]

@LoreneFaith

Me too
