Dick Van Dyke and quartet sing ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ at Denny’s

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Dick Van Dyke has treated diners at a Denny’s restaurant in California to a rendition of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

A post accompanying a YouTube video of the performance says the 90-year-old Van Dyke and the other three members of his quartet, The Vantastix, had just finished an appearance on a local television show before going out for breakfast. The video shows the quartet seated with pancakes at the table and singing the theme song to the 1968 British musical, which starred Van Dyke.

Van Dyke and The Vantastix are promoting a show later this month in southern California.

Movie theaters are starting to reopen. Will anyone go?

For the first time in roughly five months, AMC Theatres will pop the popcorn, dim the lights, and start the show. But will anyone buy a ticket?
