You're listening to Mousalgia, March 12th, 2012.

Old John's here, hats and glasses.

This here's the wildest podcast in the Will Ferris. Myelstallia.

Everybody meeting pretty?

I'm on with the show.

Hello. Hello, Mousal listeners.

This is Jeff.

As you've probably heard, last week, Disney legend Robert Sherman, passed away at the age of 86.

Of course, Sherman, along with his brother Richard, was responsible for creating some of the most memorable music in popular culture, including Disney songs like It's a Small World after all, all the

songs from Mary Poppins, for which he won two Academy Awards and a Grammy, and that includes

Walt's favorite song, Feed the Birds, and other Disney projects like The Jungle Book,

and popular music outside of the Disney studio as well, like

Chitty Chitty-Chicty-Bang, Charlotte's Web, so many other projects.

So this week, the outpouring of love and appreciation for this man and his work has been

astounding.

I just thought I'd share a few thoughts I found from various reports

on Robert's passing.

Quoting from Rolling Stone magazine's obituary.

In addition to tongue-twisting show tunes like Supercalifragilistic exeologous, the brothers

also wrote pop songs, including Johnny Burnett's 1960 hit, Your 16, which was later a number

one hit by Ringo Starr.
