As a child of the 1980s, I remember watching this when it came on Disney Channel on cable; at that time it was quality family friendly stuff which also included besides original movies old Golden Age of Disney movies (including the live action ones i.e. Babes in Toyland, Swiss Family Robinson, 5k Leagues Under the Sea, The Absent Minded Professor, The Shaggy DA, Toby Tyler, Pollyanna, Pete's Dragon etc,). This was a masterpiece of singing and live acting and comedy and dark stuff i.e. the scary Jabberwocky scenes. This was my first time listening to the singing voice of Carol Channing. It was also for many other children my age group. So now looking back it's funny how I still associate this song with her like that is so Carol's song when she was a big Broadway star who many revere for being the original leads in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Hello Dolly. She was such a funny talented lady a great singer and entertainer. I also remember her seeing her sometime in the mid 90s (1996, 1997) in a funny cameo on the Drew Cary Show giving him the F You finger from her towncar lol She is greatly missed. The world would be better with her in it .
Marjorie Main was best friends with my great grandmother maude Bullard I miss Marjorie mean so much. I have all of the mom kettles. I just love her to pieces.
I love mtm but it's "whole damn thing" not "whole darn thing" If fcc won't let you perform the song as written then find another song I'm surprised paul mccartney allowed this
