Mary Poppins – ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’
Mary Poppins is another early picture that makes much modern CGI look boring and artificial: it’s eye-catching with its stop-motion, hand-drawn animation, and other inventive ways of presenting some fairly weird stuff!
By the way, the Sherman Brothers wrote the tunes for this classic picture. “Chim Chim Cher-ee” is almost as catchy as “Chim Chim Cher-ee.”

St. Vincent – ‘Cruel’
This track is highly contagious in the best conceivable way, despite being a lesser-known example on the list. This song balances beauty and revulsion and produces a delectable paradox that you can’t resist, combining fairy-tale-like orchestral swells and some nasty guitar work. The unusual textured chorus and cathartic lyrical refrain, which create absolute joy of cruelty, are the actual lure. With each subsequent listen, it becomes increasingly difficult not to sing along. It may stay in your mind, but the sensation isn’t bothersome.
