The man who spawned Super Caley Go Ballistic

Robert B Sherman, half of the famous songwriting duo behind a string of Disney musical hits, has died. One of his most famous co-creations was the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. His song spawned the famous Sun headline after Inverness Caley's victory over Celtic SUPER CALEY GO BALISTIC CELTIC ARE ATTROCIOUS

Reading an article about how Sherman supposedly came up with the word, I note that more than 10 years prior to his song an American music hall singer called Gloria Parker wrote and recorded "Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus". There was a court case but she was unsuccessful in claiming breach of copyright because similar nonsense words had apparently been around for a long time previously.

A Terry and Mo duet at half time?

I would hazard a guess that Terry n Mo will be having a rant at half-time!!
