A 62 year old man sobbing as he remembers like a bolt from the blue his father humming this after taking me to the film so many years ago. It brought rushing back the feel of my father’s hand and his back as he carried me. Thank you so much.

My wife sings this song to my newborn son every night. I had never heard it before, but now I’m obsessed and this version is mesmerizing. Well done!!!

Dad passed away today. 95. He was our Caractacus Pott. Sang this to us. He was my Dick Van Dyke. RIP. ❤

Richard Sherman, who wrote this song, just died. He wrote Chim Chim Cheree, A Spoonful of Sugar, Trust in Me, I Wanna Be Like You and just about all the songs you loved as a kid. RIP Richard Sherman.

That female singer's voice is otherworldly...

[TheDrachenboot]

When you listen to this song the world is good again.

Always stuck with me from being a child. A hypnotic and beautiful piece of music

The night our 90 year old Dad died from Covid, I played the original from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, then found this version, and shared it with my brothers, an ode to our childhood....❤

My dad would sing this song to me to put me to bed when I was a child. I am 40 years old-now! My father is with god for the last 8 years and this song reminds me of him. I really appreciate this song and it’s newer twist. Something I can share with my son from the next generation. Thank you!

What a strange and haunting song - what a treat these two singers have served up!

[justinshriramkeeling]

My wife works really hard and when she comes home, after dinner, falls asleep cuddling our little girl, so I DJ gentle songs to help her sleep. This is one of them.

[buzzjennings]

This is my sons lullaby. My British wife grew up hearing this before bed.

[MJ-wkgt]

I remember going to see Chitty Bang Bang as a kid and crying when this song came on.

[thebondvivant]

I am a stay at home dad, and this was always my go-to song to whisk my 2 to the arms of Morpheus. Beautiful rendition x

[lxx]

Always loved this song from the film, but Lisa and Richard turn it into a beautiful and haunting performance, its magical truly is.

[philweller]

Only 13 years late getting to this. These two together makes perfect sense. Lisa's voice is like brushed velvet.

[laura-leerahn]

Thank you. Waited 42 years to hear this song again.

[leegambrill]
