And the Sherman Brothers,who wrote the songs for Mary Poppins,wrote the songs for "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" in fact, it was their only non Disney movie.
Andrews was trying to get away from the Mary Poppins image in 1966.

It’s not their only non-Disney film. They also wrote the music for the amazing Cinderella musical, produced by David Frost, titled The Slipper and the Rose.

The video is "Lonely Goatherd", not "Doll on a Music Box".
