Another recording of "Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus", performed by The Arabian Knights and published by Gloro Records, was released in 1951. Also known as "The Super Song", it was recorded by Alan Holmes and His New Tones for Columbia Records, with vocal by Hal Marquess and the Holmes Men, and music and lyrics by Patricia Smith (a Gloria Parker pen name) and Don Fenton. The plaintiffs alleged that it was a copyright infringement of their 1949 song "Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus". In 1965, the song was the subject of an unsuccessful lawsuit by songwriters Gloria Parker and Barney Young against Wonderland Music, Disney's music publishing subsidiary, and publisher of the song from the film. while says it is "used as a nonsense word by children to express approval or to represent the longest word in English." Legal action … The word as we first heard it was super-cadja-flawjalistic-espealedojus. When we were little boys in the mid-1930s, we went to a summer camp in the Adirondack Mountains, where we were introduced to a very long word that had been passed down in many variations through many generations of kids. The Sherman Brothers, who wrote the Mary Poppins song, have given several conflicting explanations for the word's origin, in one instance claiming to have coined it themselves, based on their memories of having created double-talk words as children. The word was popularized in the 1964 film Mary Poppins, in which it is used as the title of a song and defined as "something to say when you have nothing to say". In the column, Herman states that the word "implies all that is grand, great, glorious, splendid, superb, wonderful". The Oxford English Dictionary first records the word (with a spelling of "supercaliflawjalisticexpialadoshus") in the column titled "A-muse-ings" by Helen Herman in the Syracuse University Daily Orange, dated March 10, 1931. The word is a compound word, and said by Richard Lederer in his book Crazy English to be made up of these words: super- "above", cali- "beauty", fragilistic- "delicate", expiali- "to atone", and -docious "educable", with all of these parts combined meaning "Atoning for being educable through delicate beauty." Mary disagrees, saying that at least one word is appropriate for the situation, and begins the song. Flush with her victory, she is immediately surrounded by reporters who pepper her with questions and suggest that she is at a loss for words. The song occurs in the chalk-drawing outing animated sequence, just after Mary Poppins wins a horse race.
