Hamilton!
So... I'm not sure how many of you guys like Hamilton but this thread is just for anything Hamilton, it can become a thread to see if we can sing all the lyrics (censor out bad words/inapropriate stuff obviosouly) or just to talk about it :)

Ha, do I like Hamilton? Totally not... Totally not like I'm reading a book called Hamilton and Peggy! (but they should've titled it And Peggy! b/c Hamilton is, like, barely in it, so)... Totally not like I tried to sing all of Hamilton (including Laurens's Interlude) during a tubing trip thing but stopped b/c people kept yelling at me to shut up... Totslly not like today I sing Conratulations and No John Trumbull b/c I memorized them so why not... Totally not like I have the Hamilton playbill on my wall from when I saw it when I was little... Totally not like I have a art thing I drew of me and two of my friends as the Schuyler Sisters... /sarc
...I think I've proved my point...
What's your favorite song(s) to listen to/to sing/to dance to?
I love Schuyler Sisters to listen to and sing and do the motions along to and just overall. Tied with Schuyler Sisters, I also adore Dear Theodosia. Room Where It Happens for dance. Guns and Ships to sing b/c it's fun. One of my favs is is Congratulations. Ooh, I also love Story of Tonight. And What Did I Miss. And Washington On Your Side. And Aaron Burr, Sir. And I could go on for a while but it's late and I should be in bed by now oops.

Let's see how far we can get into singing the entire musical (no copy and paste please)
How does a -- , orphan, son of a -- and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Carribean by providence impoverished in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
The ten dollar founding father without a father got a lot farther by working a lot harder by being a lot smarter by being a self starter by fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter.
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away across the waves he struggled and kept his guard up. Inside he was longing for something to be a part of, the brother was ready to steal, beg, borrow or barter.
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned, our man saw his future drip-dripping down the drain, put a pencil to his temple connected it to his brain, and he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
Well the word got around, they said "this kid is insane, man!" Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland! "Get your education, don't forget from whence you came! The world's gonna know your name." What's your name, man?

My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait
Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying, "Alex, you gotta fend for yourself"

He started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf...
There woulda been nothing left to do for someone less astute he woulda been dead or destitue without a cent of restitution started workin' clerkin' for his late mother's landlord trading sugar cane and all the things he cant afford scammin' for every book he can get his hands on plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on the bow of a ship heading for a new land in new york you can be a new man! in new york you can be a new man (just you wait), in new york you can be a new man (just you wait), in new york you can be a new man, in new yoooorkkk JUST YOU WAAAAAIIIT

Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton College.
Aaron Burr! Spit a verse! Drop some knowledge!

I am not throwin' away my, shot,
I am not throwin' away my, shot,
hey yo I'm just like my country, I'm young scrappy and hungry
and I'm not throwin' away my, shot!
Imma get a scholarship to king's college
I prob'ly shouldn't brag but man, I amaze and astonish,
the problem is I got a lotta brains but no polish
I gotta holler just to be heard, with every word, I drop knowledge
(September 22, 2023 - 11:57 am)
I'm seeing Hamilton net week!!! In Chicago Brodway. I've seen it a million times on disney+, but thats it.
(September 21, 2023 - 8:42 am)
Even tho I've never seen it I'm a Hamilfan! I don't enjoy the bad language but aaaaaa the rap is so good!!!
Cause I've been reading common sense by Thomas Paine, some people say that I'm intense or I'm insane. You want a revolution? I want a revelation! So listen to my declaration: we hold these truths to be so self evident that all men are created equal. So when I meet Thomas Jefferson (oh) imma tell him to include women in the sequel! ( work!)
Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now, look around look around look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now, history is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be in the greatest city of the world, in the greatest city of the wooooorld
Yeah, that was cringe...
