Made famous by its use in a song of the same title in the movie Mary Poppins (1964), by songwriters Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman. Songwriters Gloria Parker and Barney Young brought a unsuccessful lawsuit against Walt Disney Studios, claiming the song infringed on their song "Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus", but failed because "variants of the word were known ... many years prior to 1949".
