Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll aways sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
So then I was afraid to speak
My father gave my nose a tweak
And told me I was bad
But then one day, I learned a word
To save my aching nose
The biggest word, you've ever heard
And this is how it goes
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll aways sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll aways sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
I traveled all around the world
And everywhere I went
I used this word in all I say
[Incomprehensible]
I say my special word
And then they ask me out for tea
Orlando Brown's song "Super Cali" is a playful and tongue-in-cheek tribute to the classic Mary Poppins song "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." The lyrics recount the story of Brown as a young boy, being scolded by his father and learning the big word as a way to save his nose from further punishment. He goes on to describe his travels around the world, using the word to impress people and secure invitations for tea.
In essence, the song is both a parody and an homage to the original Mary Poppins tune. Brown takes the famous word and makes it his own, using it as a tool for self-expression and boasting. The tune itself is upbeat and energetic, carrying a sense of lightness and whimsy that echoes the spirit of the classic movie.
Aside from its playful nature, "Super Cali" also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Mary Poppins and its beloved songs. Brown's appropriation of the word and his use of it as a badge of quirky individuality add a new layer of meaning to the original lyrics, demonstrating the power of music to inspire creativity and joy.
