Dick Van Dyke and the Vantastix Perform ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ at Denny’s in Santa Monica

After making an appearance on “Good Day LA” to promote his new book Keep Moving and upcoming concert, the great Dick Van Dyke and the Vantastix, sang a brilliant impromptu a cappella version of the eponymous title song from the 1968 film “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” for a very surprised and appreciative audience at the Denny’s Restaurant in Santa Monica. Less than a year ago, dedicated fans performed the same song for Van Dyke on his 90th birthday.

Dick Van Dyke and his quartet The Vantastix do a little singing after having breakfast at Denny’s. The group just finished a visit to Good Day LA to promote their upcoming show in Cerritos, Dick’s book “Keep Moving”, and their album “Put On A Happy Face”.
