Dick Van Dyke, 96, and Wife Breathe New Life into “Everybody Loves a Lover”

Actor Dick Van Dyke has spent over seven decades charming audiences in radio, television, film, and on stage. He first rose to prominence in the 1960s with “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” where his comedic brilliance and likable personality shone through. In film, he delighted generations with singing and dancing roles in beloved classics like “Mary Poppins” and “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” Over the course of his illustrious career, Van Dyke has garnered multiple awards—including Emmy, Tony, and Grammy honors—and is celebrated for leaving an indelible mark on entertainment across the ages.

Beyond his on-screen legacy, Van Dyke is a devoted husband who doesn’t shy away from showing how much he adores his wife, Arlene Silver. In the video below, the couple radiates joy while singing and dancing to a cover of Doris Day’s iconic “Everybody Loves a Lover.”

A Burst of Musical Joy

Arlene Silver directed the upbeat music video, featuring the male vocal trio Vantastix and trumpeter Tony Guerrero. The vibrant set design infuses playful energy, accentuating the song’s feel-good vibe. Seated in a floral armchair at the start of the video, Van Dyke, now 96, appears as though he might remain comfortably in place—but he quickly surprises everyone by hopping up to dance alongside his wife. Meanwhile, Vantastix snaps along, providing harmonies, and Guerrero’s trumpet solo elevates the excitement even further.

A Nod to Classic Comedy

The video closes with a sweet homage to Van Dyke’s comedic past: nearly stumbling over an ottoman before smoothly dodging it, recalling his classic entrance gag on “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” This simple but joyful touch underscores the fun and lively spirit that has made him a beloved figure for decades.

Fans’ Reactions

Viewers were quick to shower praise on the charming performance. One comment read, “This is so good. Dick is masterful, and his wife has a great pop style. They really reinvigorate this song. Love the business at the end recalling his show when he tripped over…and then later avoided…the hassock in his living room.” Another called him a “national treasure” and applauded the couple’s chemistry, especially the playful moment at the end.

 

In a world often focused on youth, Dick Van Dyke and Arlene Silver continue to prove that life, love, and a good sense of humor never get old. Their rendition of “Everybody Loves a Lover” stands as a vibrant celebration—reminding us all that passion and joy can thrive at any age.
