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

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

[@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.

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

[@morganbailey3231]

[@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.

[@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]

I grew up with this movie, I’m 60 and still enjoy the amazing talent of Dick Van Dyke!

[@hannahvankuiken4664]

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.

Seeing the absolute delight on Dick Van Dyke's face was the best part of this entire performance!

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.

Dick van Dyke has to be the loveliest celebrity ever. His joy at watching this is palpable. I still love this musical and Dick van Dyke just always makes me happy 😊

[@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.

[@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.'"
