The Life I Lead - Walt Disney's Mary Poppins

[rankingtrevor]

Classic English Gentleman! Women, for pete's sake will you fetch ones slippers!!

[PompousPreacher]

The Ron Paulbots see this as a great example of how anti-racist is anti-white.

[endautrestermes]

the man is my all time hero :)

[PompousPreacher]

David Tomlinson is part of the 1% as himself or George Banks.

[iReturnV1deotapes]

What a boss. This man is 100% alpha.

[scout1011]

Winifred, where are the children?

[theanarchist000]

This song is so tough and manly that i'm thinking about starting a petition to make it the new Monday Night Football theme

[TheNeonIcing]

Eh, wife's trying to talk. Don't interrupt his song

[gaijinblow]

I wish I could one day feel so good where I could enter my home signing about how I lord over everyone in my family. Until then.... MAKE ME A SAMMITCH.

[TheMychemmonster]

Oh, 1950's u so sexist

[TheIntolerantAtheist]

I run my home precisely on schedule, at 6:01, I march through the door, my slippers, sherry and pipe are due at 6:02, consistent is the life I lead. It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910, King Edward's on the throne it's the AGE OF MEN. I'm the Lord of my castle, the subject the leach. It's 6:03 and the heirs to my dominion are scrubed and tubbed, and adequately fed. And so I'll pat them on the head, and send them off to bed how lovely is the life I lead!

[Seisachtheia]

I love this movie, and I love David Tomlinson's songs from it! "A British Bank", ranks right behind "Posh" from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as my favorite Disney number from the live action musicals.

[DellDuckfan313]

Who sends children of Jane and Michael's ages to bed at six?

[Seisachtheia]

@DellDuckfan313 Men in 1910

[GamingJesters]

@DellDuckfan313 6:03 sir! Quite late for a child! /sarcasm

[Tommimaster111]

me when im older

[purpleomg11]

im planning to watch mary poppins tonight :)

[MickeyBalboa86]

Ladies and Gentlemans, please stand up and show your love for the great late DAVID TOMLINSON!

[bluethunder25]

This is one of my favorite songs in the movie. It's catchy and the fact that the guy's wife tries to tell him that his kids are missing and h's not even paying attention makes it so funny.

[mckfrr]

@elenore88. I know it's a movie, don't lecture me on that. This was made in a time when women were still part of the home, that was why it was entertaining back then of course people are going to make movies that represent the ideals of the time, duh. I'm simply stating a fact.

[randomness69]

Makes me want to be an Englishman in 1910...wealthy, of course.

[windstorm1000]

Love the satire---adults can enjoy the movie as much as kids (humor of this song goes over their heads)

[Scheidt3000]

" I run my home, precisely, on schheadjool"

[SamezXD]

Is it me or were women back then quite sexy? Also I wish everyone still wore suits and tophats.. :/

[JohnMacDonald1]

If George Banks and Captain von Trapp had combined in politics they would have formed the greatest nation of all time :D

[rossyxan]

Bed at 6 pm? Jesus wept ...

[TheAgent181]

Ah, lordly is life i lead!

[Videot01]

I really love this guy's acting. He's one of the reasons i want to be an actor.

[golachica1311]

RIP David Tomlinson!

[Mongoose015]

I love this song!

[mckfrr]

I know that, buddy.

[mckfrr]

Oh I could tear this song apart with the feminist nature I am lol. You the wife, she's part of the women suffrage movement in the movie, but she didn't act like one at home. That's how it was back then.

[LoreneFaith]

I really understand what you are saying. It is how it was back then but the "Votes for Women" movement is also represented in the movie :)

[emcee2456]

@LoreneFaith between this and Sister Suffragate no wonder they have no time for the kids.

[lackofriposte]

That is sort of the point they were going for there, buddy

[scotpens]

@mckfrr That's the joke -- Mrs. Banks is active in the suffragette movement, but her husband doesn't have a clue. As long as his life runs on schedule, he figures God's in his heaven and all's right with the world.

[MrGrevy]

@mckfrr Actually...no, you couldn't. If you think that feminist theory applies to his wife and her efforts...then you completely miss the point.

[blayz3227]

@mckfrr I never realized that...Maybe cuz last time iwatched it i was like 10.....haha

[elenore88]

@mckfrr not necessarily. if it was it wouldn't have gone anyway. this is just a movie and the ultimate objective is to entertain. (or they wouldn't make any money)

[scottishthunder47]

@mckfrr I think both the husband and wife are played with light satire: she's a bubbly suffragette and he's comically pompous. I think the song plays up the fact that his expectations aren't the reality. Is there really a need to "tear this song apart?"

[TaraAisling]

@mckfrr yeah but its a great melody :)

[SamezXD]

@mckfrr I know, what happened :/

[mizzay25]

@mckfrr

This is a prime example of dramatic irony... she leads two lives, one is leading the suffragettes and the other is the typical housewife of the early 20th century. The film deliberately portrays what it was like for most women, even those who wanted to promote femanism and equality.

[RosesNightengales]

"George their missing!!!"

"Splendid Splendid!" LMAO!

[ravingrabbid20]

this is a great song!

[SL04]

Brilliant.

I would give anything to live in England during this time.

[matrags]

The fact is 90% of people in England during this time period lived in extreme poverty. Life expectancy was about 35, And nearly everyone lived with some kind of disease or chronic illness. Life was miserable by all acounts.

[Folklorica]

the best film!

*****

[speedydan156]

Mary Poppins is my favourite disney film

[mariomatrix779]

finaly a good disney film!

[DoryViolet]

"With a firm but gentle hand... noblesse oblige" !!! It makes me laugh every time.

[CarlyAKACmara]

@DoryViolet and did you see the face on Winifred's face after he said that XD

[fernie1981]

George they're missing! Splendid, splendid

[712Giulia]

He's soo funny!!

[Glitcher2000]

@fernie1981 I know a few parents who are like this.... :p

[jupitertronic]

Ah, this song. No one ever mentions it when they mention the songs from this movie and I think it's my favorite (or favourite) one. It's so British and proper, I love it. Plus the lyrics help me remember when King Edward was on the throne (1910!)... Though as of yet, I've never actually needed that information. ;D

[Leejungwoo48]

This song is so rhythmic and catchy. It's awesome! :)

[lilphil84]

i'm wondering... is that really how they pronounced "schedule"?

[losmaspekes]

That is how you pronounce it in British English :-)

American pronunciation might be different, not sure...

[Blaze1289]

We pronounce it with a hard K on the "ch", like "sked-ule"

[SCE2AUX]

@losmaspekes For what it's worth, Rush Limbaugh likes using the British pronunciation for schedule, just as a gag.

[Vikkilewis]

Different people in the UK pronounce it differently...

[SilentKonami]

"I treat my subjects, servants, children, wife..." Love how he mentions his wife last. That really says alot lol.

"George, they're missing!" "Splendid, Splendid."

XD

[NihilNominis]

Of course...he saves the best for last!

Really, you read too much into it.

[NihilNominis]

I guess I'm politically incorrect, and therefore unpopular.

Gods, I wish it *was* 1910. Liberals are so irritating. IT WAS A JOKE. AND IT'S A MUSICAL! LIGHTEN UP!!

[jupitertronic]

I'm liberal but I voted you up. ;) I'm one of those feminists who is totally not a feminist when British men are involved. They're dreamy. ;) So I wouldn't mind being mentioned last by a nice British husband. Especially if his name was Julian Barratt. :)

[NihilNominis]

Right decent of you...;)

[Profsportster]

Such films. What a filthy, fetid era we have slipped into. What happed? Those films came and went, now we're here with the ghetto trash representing our culture. God help us.... or put us out of our miserable ways.

[LoreneFaith]

There is an innocence about the programs and movies of the early sixties and before that which makes them magical.  I do understand what you are saying.

[feeltheillinois]

woahh, bed time at 3min after 6pm, SHEESH

[Peadarisback]

god this is brillaint!

[WynterDymonds]

This is like the ultimate MAN song...

[bluesage10]

@WynterDymonds

Try some of Henry Higgins' numbers from 'My Fair Lady'... 

[SCE2AUX]

@WynterDymonds Right up there with A Hymn to Him (My Fair Lady)

[capt0annabelle]

Have you ever seen My Fair Lady? Higgins singing "Why Can't a Woman" is the ULTIMATE ultimate man song.

[donfrollo2]

I love this song!!!!!

[LittleMissEncore]

ahh - i do love this film and this song.

[donfrollo2]

A: your sick

B: it's Mr. Banks = GEORGE BANKS! Not Mr. Bursns

C: just be quite that's horrible what you said

[msunami]

"George, they're missing!"

"Splendid, splendid"

I always burst out laughing at that part!

[sp1ink]

absolutely fantastic - the relationship between the father and his children is the best thing in the film. Oh, and this song = ] Cheers.

[LoreneFaith]

You're welcome, glad you enjoy it!

[ukmaggot]

thanks for the upload!! :)

[Maeiko]

i love this! cant believe his dead ='<

[sharkfest59]

i love this song

[Vamptastic101]

At 6 : 02 lol i love this song

[DoctorWhoMe]

We did Mary Poppins as our yeaar 6 play and my best friend played Mr. Banks. Have you noticed that he talks most of it? Did you also know I call it the number song becuase it has 11 numbers: 6 0 1 6 0 2 19 10 6 0 3

[Gajakk]

Oh thank you for that bit of trivia on yourself. :)

[canadianwritingchik]

George, their missing.

Wonderful wonderful.

[ManWhoLovesTheMary]

That's "Yes, yes, yes" but you got the right light on it :)

[TheCapitalistKid]

This is own. This guy is a total typical rich white dude, and i love it

[scotpens]

Actually, by the standards of 1910, the Banks family is comfortably middle class. George works at a bank -- probably as a mid-level officer -- but it's not like he OWNS the bank.

As for the family having three domestics -- a cook, a housekeeper and a nanny -- servants were a lot cheaper in those days.

[Whiteyplaysthebanjo]

I love the way he says "schedule."

[megpeg118]

looooooooooooooooooooool i never noticed that before!!!!!!!!!!

[Whiteyplaysthebanjo]

At 6:01 I march through the door...... :)

[Whiteyplaysthebanjo]

Thank you for posting this in English. I never tire of this song.

[Rockaria79]

Fantastic!!! Splendid splendid!!!

[JohnStanleyHunter]

So glad I could upload it for you :)
