CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG "CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG/ME OL' BAMBOO" ARTIST: JASON ALEXANDER

[@RedHall]

The look on Dick Van Dyke's face during the performance. You can tell he is enjoying reliving those memories.

[@oneofthegoodonesok]

Isn't he such a doll!

[@jdarnone]

I would not be surprised in the slightest if he still knows all the words and dance steps (maybe a little slower), but he was having the best time.

[@Cadolots]

What surprising for his age that he remember the lyrics

[@presencerocks2224]

Dick Van Dyke is, from everything I’ve ever seen, the absolute perfect example of a celebrity role model. He appreciates fans, he is absolutely thrilled when someone pays homage like this, and wow his mind is still sharp where he knows the lyrics off the top of his head. I wish more actors would model themselves after him!

[@stevebonds5157]

He's from the old mold....not many are left and the mold broke long ago.

[@Robert08010]

Who doesn't know the lyrics to chitty chitty bang bang?!?!? But I agree.

[@geckokid8265]

I have a theory that he actually died years ago but he's going to live forever solely powered by his joy and energy

[@Robert08010]

@@geckokid8265 Already an angle, huh? I'm in!

[@morganbailey3231]

I intend to when I’m famous

[@ThiccTropius]

You can tell Dick van Dyke was EXTREMELY impressed with the Me ol Bamboo number because he said in interviews that it was one of the most complicated dance routines he had to learn and after SEVERAL takes to get it right he FINALLY got it right on the final take!

[@CorporalFriendlyShark]

Not only was he a good 20 years older than the other dancers, but he had to perform the whole routine a step behind the rest of the group, still my favourite part of the movie!

[@ThiccTropius]

@@CorporalFriendlyShark which sounds easy until you actually attempt to act unrehearsed because it is so natural to follow a routine.

[@mrcritical6751]

Plus Dick Van Dyke has gone and outright said in his old age (probably not now but a few years ago) that he could do all of his old dances except Me Ol’ Bamboo because he could hardly do it even when he was younger

[@Glittersword]

Yeah, he must have gotten tired just watching their performance. Great job.🎉🎉🎉

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

I think he said in an interview once that he wasn't trained for musicals and had to learn to sing and dance for Mary Poppins.

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

I will love Dick Van Dyke forever for every thing he has ever done for the entertainment industry. His eyes were lit up for this performance.

[@mander40101]

I've seen a lot of tributes to a lot of stars, and the stars seemed to enjoy them, but I have never seen the overwhelming pure joy and enthusiasm as displayed by Mr. Van Dyke. He sang along, and his eyes displayed the wonderment of a child. Just wow!

[@FlippinGurtrude]

I'm glad they're treating this icon as they should at this stage in his life. Too many times we lose people without giving them the love they deserve.

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

How could anyone not love someone who once went on stage and said "Good evening. I'm what's left of Dick Van Dyke"?

[@FlippinGurtrude]

@zacmumblethunder7466 I meant in a more of a 'forgotten' way. A lot of stars live to old ages, but are never appreciated until they die.

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

@FlippinGurtrude Oh, like those embarrassing "Lifetime achievement awards" that the Oscar academy hand out when they find that a popular actor from the 1940s, 50s or 60s is still alive and had never won an Oscar despite deserving to several times.

[@jenelle6132]

I know this doesn't exactly compare, but I was able to take my 85 year old mother in law to an old time circus before she passed. She had Alzheimer's, but it wasn't too bad yet. I watched her more than I watched the performers. She was so excited and in awe to watch the trapeze artists and the strong man.... So happy!!!

[@StrangeScaryNewEngland]

@@jenelle6132 Where on earth do you find an old time circus these days?!?!

I wonder if Disney will ever figure out this is what REAL Disney Magic is. There is nothing like it.

[@shawnmulligan2894]

.... CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG was not a Disney film. But I do get what you mean.

[@STho205]

The Sherman Brothers did write the music (Mary Poppins, Charlotte's Web) but this was directed by Albert Brocolli (007( for United Artists. This is the musical trinity of my childhood. I still love Sherman compositions.

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

True

[@saraross8396]

Disney magic died at least a decade ago, maybe longer. At their current rate, I doubt it will ever be rekindled.

Technically it's a Bond film. Written by Ian Fleming produced by Cubby Broccoli ;)

Hi John! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the first Dick Van Dyke movie I watched when I was a little kid. I'm 24 and he still remains as one of the family favorites. We're an old school family. 😊

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

​@hannahvankuiken4664 It was the first movie I went to see. 4 years old, 1968. The queue went around the cinema. I didn't understand what cinema was, but had seen theatres on TV, so I assumed we would be seeing a live performance with the car being swung around on ropes. I was blown away by it. Bear in mind, at that time TV was black and white unless you were well off, and 21 inches corner to corner.

[@hannahvankuiken4664]

@@zacmumblethunder7466 Thank you, sir, for sharing your sweet story about your first experience at the cinema! I love hearing stories from people about the past.

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

@hannahvankuiken4664 You're welcome. I agree with you about hearing different people's stories. A few decades later, I saw the actual car at a Victorian weekend in Llandudno. The man who used to own it really threw himself into playing the part of the owner of a flying car. He told us that the fin at the front opens the clouds when flying, and the one at the back closes them again.

[@ericg5791]

Sally-Anne Howes sadly passed away in 2021,at the grand age of 91. Sad,that we could not get to see Truly Scrumptious sitting beside Dick Van Dyke. Much of the cast has passed on now,though the Potts children are still with us.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang written by James Bond creator Ian Fleming and put on the screen by Bond movie producer Albert R Broccoli. It was released in 1968 between Bond movie's You Only Live Twice (1967) and On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). ❤❤

[@MalloryNewcomb]

Dick Van Dyke is truly one of a kind… and I would not have expected Jason Alexander to deliver such a good tribute, he’s a very different actor and I have probably never seen him perform live… but from the moment he came out, he brought the energy and musicality and … just the right amount of playfulness that it made me smile. Very good tribute. I came away quite impressed not just with the dancers but with Mr Alexander. I felt the respect and it was a very solid performance!

[@kellark]

I remember watching CCBB over 50 years ago as a small child. This tribute to Dick was wonderful.

Nice for Dick Van Dyke to get the love and recognition he deserves while he is still here to enjoy it.

[@curiouspenguin6887]

Dick Van Dyke brought joy to countless kids with his performances. Good to see him getting payback!🎉

[@Pseudowolf]

Dick Van Dyke is someone I consider to be a Entertainer with a capital E. He can sing, dance, and act, but he doesn't seem to do them just for love of the craft. He does it primarily because he loves to entertain and knowing he can bring a little joy to people with his talents. I think that's why he still remembers the words to the songs and can't help himself from singing along. And his look of happiness seeing these tributes is because he remembers how much he enjoyed doing them but ALSO because these people are telling HIM how much joy he brought THEM which, again, is the main reason he does what he does.

[@elizabethfout3817]

The movie was amazing to see this is not just a trip down memory lane for those of us that watched it but for Dick Van Dike himself the sheer joy and light in his eyes especially on the first song wow......

[@rivertam0713]

In 1995 someone decided to remake Bye Bye Birdie with Jason playing the part of Albert Perterson (Dick Van Dyke's role). It was fair at best. As talented as Alexander is he could not replace the legend. That is just my opinion, the legend was more generous however "In an Archive of American Television interview, Jason Alexander said that the day after the movie aired, he received a bouquet of flowers and a note that read 'Dear Jason. Now I know how to play the role. You were terrific. Love Dick Van Dyke.'"
