  When You Wish Upon a Star - Lolita

And now for something completely different: A Eurobeat version of When You Wish Upon a Star!

LOLITA is a Eurobeat project that usually contains very fast synth lines but in this song they trade the synth for an electric guitar. The vocalist is Elena Gobbi Frattini who has been singing with the group since 1995.

  Chim Chim Cher-ee - Domino

One of the most famous songs from Mary Poppins is the song of the chimney sweep, Chim Chim Cher-ee. So to take us through Mary Poppins Week, we are going to take a look at this song.

Chim Chim Cher-ee was written by the Sherman Brothers after seeing a painting of a chimney sweep by one of the screenwriters Don DaGradi. DeGradi explained to the Shermans that in ancient British folklore shaking the hand of a chimney sweep could bring good luck.

The character of Bert was already an amalgamation of several characters from the Mary Poppins books, so the Shermans decided to make Bert a chimney sweep as well and Chim Chim Cher-ee became his theme song.

This Eurobeat version is by the famous UK Eurobeat artist DOMINO and serves as one of the better tracks on the first album of EUROBEAT DISNEY.
