Today (Aug. 29) I saw the new documentary about Richard and Robert Sherman, titled The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story. I loved this movie, and the clips and soundbites of their songs bring back lots of childhood memories. Many of their songs have stayed with me for as long as I can remember. It's a shame that there is this rift that exists between them. Fortunately for us it has not gotten in the way of their work together. I recommend this movie to all my fellow Disney fanatics.
Picking a favourite Sherman Brothers tune is virtually impossible for me, because I love so many of them. Here's a listing of my personal favourites:

Thanks my friend. I saw that movie on video about 11 years ago. I had the soundtrack on vinyl prior to seeing the film, and I remember that song stood out for me.
