Dick Van Dyke went to Disneyland yesterday, and he found himself being serenaded by some of his biggest fans. As soon as The Dapper Dans saw the legend, they had to sing to him one of their favorite tunes, Jolly Holiday from Mary Poppins, a little film he made 60 years ago with Julie Andrews (who turned 88 yesterday).
What did the 97-year-old think of their rendition? He loved it. And he shared a little story about filming that song, “Julie sang, like, a little sharp on top of the note, and I just went crazy. I’m flat most of the time. I had trouble staying with her because she was always a little bit sharp.” I never noticed during the umpteenth times my older niece made me watch that musical.
Back to the barbershop quartet, I loved their faces beaming with pride because they were able to sing for the OG and GOAT. It is a moment they will never forget. For all of the people they have delighted throughout the years, it was nice to see them being delighted by someone else.
And back to Van Dyke. Even though he is sitting in a wheelchair during their performance, he was standing up in other videos that were captured from the park yesterday.
