Everything about Posh totally explained
"Posh!" is an "up tempo" song and musical number from the popular 1968
Cubby Broccoli motion picture,
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It is written by the songwriting team of
Sherman & Sherman. It makes reference to the myth that the word "" is an acronym for "
Port Out, Starboard Home". In the film it's sung when "Grandpa Potts" (played by
Lionel Jeffries) is being carried away in his outhouse. He sees the situation as serendipitous until he finally meets his kidnapper,
Baron Bombhurst in
Vulgaria.
Use in stage musical
The song is also featured prominently in the 2002 and 2005
stage musical versions of the film. In the stage musical versions, Grandpa sings the song to the children in the family dining room and not while being kidnapped in his outhouse. The song is reprised a few times and is used as "Grandpa's"
leit motif.
