Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - The Vandals
Punk music started as an underground music scene and to this day punk rules the indie market and bar scene. There are more punk bands in North America that any other style of music. The VANDALS started their career the same way in 1980. They played countless bars and clubs but stood out from the rest because they chose to sing about more humorous topics rather than being political like all the rest.

They jumped around to a few different labels and in 1995 ended up on Nitro Records, a record label owned by the Offspring's Dexter Holland. It was here that they reached the mainstream market with their album LIVE FAST, DIARRHEA which includes the Mary Poppins cover of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

This is not your standard punk cover. The Vandals don't just speed up the song and put it to a punk beat (which is what I find happens with most punk covers). They actually put some thought into crafting a good cover. They also take elements from two Bad Religion songs, We're Only Gonna Die and Fuck Armageddon... This Is Hell, and mash them up with this song.

This isn't the only Disney cover that the Vandals do. There is also a version of Heigh-Ho by them, but that will be for another day.
