<\/a>Here\u2019s a bit of trivia for you nostalgia buffs:\u00a0 “Let’s Go Fly A Kite” is a song from Walt Disney<\/a>‘s film Mary Poppins<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, composed by Richard M. Sherman<\/a> and Robert B. Sherman<\/a>*. This song is heard at the end of the film when the story’s protagonist<\/a>\u00a0 realizes that his family is more important than his job. He mends his son’s kite and takes his entire family on a kite-flying outing. The metaphor of the mended kite – a symbol of the mended Banks family – is reflected in the song and was inspired by the Sherman brothers’ father, Al Sherman<\/a>, who besides being a well-known songwriter in his day was also an amateur kite maker, who made kites for neighborhood children as a weekend hobby. Walt Disney had asked his songwriters to write a song about a kite because of his two daughters. Both daughters were members of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and their symbol is a kite. The song “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” is dedicated to Kappa Alpha Theta.<\/p>\n
