Biography

"Jolly Holiday" is a song from the film, Mary Poppins. It was written by the Sherman Brothers. It is sung by Bert and Mary Poppins in the pastel fantasy sequence before reaching the carousel. The Oscar winning music arranger Irwin Kostal provided the much lauded orchestration. The song also appears in the musical with additional lyrics by Anthony Drewe, but it was changed to fit the story of Neleus from Mary Poppins Opens the Door. The film takes place in 1910 (although the P.L. Travers books place the story in 1934) and the song is in the Music Hall style of the period. The song has been parodied in Forbidden Broadway Cleans Up Its Act and the show's album, with the name "Jolly Holiday with Rudy", which made fun of the cleaning of Broadway at the time. The Disney on Ice version was sung as "A Jolly Holiday in London". The song was included on Disney Sing Along Songs: I Love to Laugh!, in which footage from Mickey and the Beanstalk is reused as Ludwig Von Drake's daydream segues into the sequence.
