Matthew Adam Garber (25 March 1956– 13 June 1977) was a British actor best known for his role as Michael Banks in Walt Disney's 1964 film Mary Poppins. Born in Stepney, London to parents who had both performed on stage, he attended St Paul's Primary School in Winchmore Hill and Highgate School in Highgate, North London. He died of acute pancreatitis in 1977.
It's strange because at first the father is wearing a black jacket and the mother a blue dress, in this song the father is wearing a red jacket and the mother a yellow dress (which is very awful) and after this song the father is wearing a black jacket and the mother a blue dress again... <-- very strange!
did you know the guy who plays michael died in 1978 when he was 22 because of hepatitis or something? how depressing. MY CHILDHOOD DREAMS ARE CRUUSSHHHEDD!! :(
@fostej99 I was Michael Banks in our 5th grade production in 1972. I was given the part because I was small and couldn't sing. But, I could remember my lines.
@midgetgirl5 Actually, he didn't have cancer. He contracted hepititas while traveling in India, probably from eating bad meat, according to his brother. By the time he got back to England for proper medical care, it had spread to his pancreas and was not treatable. He died of a pancreatic hemmorage on June 13, 1977.

so cute! i love this song! i sing it myself very much! but i think they could have put more power in the song, they look and sing sleepy, not like naughty little children! but is is and stays cute!
I also love the Simpsons version If you wish to be our sitter please be sweet, and never bitter help us with math and book reports might I add, eat my shorts! If Maggie's fussy, don't avoid her let me get away with moi-der! teach us songs and magic tricks might I add, no FAT chicks! The nanny we want is kindly unsage and one who will work for minimum wage hurry nanny, things are grim, I'll do it! Anyone but HIM!
I really hate it when this movie goes on TV or someone watches it at home or at school because I get a lot of attention because my name is Michael Banks just like in the movie, so once some one watches this I get a lot of attention and I hate it
I was four when I first saw this and after seeing the movie I told every new person I met my name was Jane Banks and that I was seven years old. We had just moved to a new neighborhood and my mom didn't want me to get a reputation of being a liar, so she never corrected anyone when they mentioned how "tiny" I was for seven!
Every once in awhile I'll see someone from when I was a kid and they still slip and call me Jane. ;-/
That dad still makes me mad! Thank God for Mary Poppins!
I have to say in the movie, the children aren't as bratty as the stage vversion. The children in the movie are adorable...I like Janes hair. It is like parted in two in the back and curled.
I'm nearly 18 and I sing this. I'm werido, right?
