The Oxford English Dictionary first records the word (with a spelling of "supercaliflawjalisticeexpialadoshus") in the column titled "A-muse-ings" by Helen Herman in the Syracuse University Daily Orange, dated March 10, 1931. In the column, Herman states that the word "implies all that is grand, great, glorious, splendid, superb, wonderful."

    Too arranged, or too "Mickey"? (I.e., Mickey Mouse. Term used by jazz musicians of my father's era.)

The term I've also heard by older musicians is "rinky tink."

    That's the big question, and it would help (needless to say) if we could hear the various takes. (This was number 5, I think.) But I tend to think the soloists mentally worked out a general scheme in advance of the recording date. For ex., there were at least two takes released for the PW "Side by Side," and Red Nichols provides excellent 8-bar solos which differ between the takes, but at the same time, seem like variations on the same plan. Having the original scores would help! As in, did Grofe simply leave eight bars blank with the indication, "Solo spot"?

    Because of the ongoing bias against Whiteman. The myth that Whiteman never presented "real" jazz. It's astonishing to me that any historian or documentary filmmaker would fail to recognize the many "popular" dance band sides from the late 1910s and 1920s, not only as examples of jazz, but an important step toward the orchestration thereof. Burns never strays past conventional opinion.
