Dick Van Dyke was on Conan last week and he brought his A Capella group with him. Together the 4 of them plus the TBS late nigh host sang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I can’t wipe the smile off of my face after watching that.
If you need to put a smile on your face, this will definitely do it. This is just pure joy!
Dick Van Dyke was on Conan yesterday and Conan O’Brien told the legend that they way he danced in movies like Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was an inspiration to him. So Rob Petrie asked if he would like to dance with him and of course the TBS late night host said yes. Then the two of did a soft show routine that will make even the biggest Scrooge in your life smile.
Can you believe that DVD is 89 years old because he still moves like the man we grew up watching in all those Disney musicals. I guess it helps when you wife is more than half your age!!!

Before Dick Van Dyke was solving murders on Diagnosis Murder, he would’ve needed to look into himself on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He looks the same now as he did when he was 35 in that 1960 episode.
The legendary and loveable Dick Van Dyke leads the a cappella group The Vantastix and today he Tweeted they were looking suggestions of what songs we wanted to hear them do while they rehearsed. Well someone suggested that they do Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and they obliged.
I never thought there was a way to make Chitty Chitty Bang Bang an even happier song than it already is, but that is exactly what The Vantastix have done. I can’t stop smiling as I listen to it over and over and over again! So no matter what type of day you are having, it will instantly get better when you listen to them harmonize one of the happiest songs on Earth!
BTW can you believe that he is 87 years old because he has more pep in his step then men half his age. I hope we are all that spry when we are his age.

Dick Van Dyke was rightfully honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award yesterday at the SAG Awards. When he went back into the press room after he accepted it, he was photographed in a compromising position with the larger than life-sized version of the SAG Awards statue. Either that or he was just trying to cover up the anatomically correct statue that makes Jon Hamm and James Woods look small.
BTW I am know I am going to heck because of this post. I also know that my friend’s toddler, who is obsessed with Mary Poppins, is so going to kick me in the shin for writing anything negative about her idol. I hope that the legendary Dick Van Dyke can forgive me because I love him just as much as that little girl and did not mean to insult him in anyway, but the picture just made it so easy.
Finally I wish the young actors of today would look up to him, so that they can create a persona as lovable as his. I can’t think of anyone younger than Henry Winkler that is adored like he is, can you?
