  • Hamilton is a phenomenal Broadway Musical, and ‪@alyankovic‬ outdid himself with his take on Alexander Hamilton! In my "Weird Al" Yankovic - The Hamilton Polka reaction I listen to MORE of possibly my new FAVORITE broadway musical!
    I'm a radio DJ reacting to "Weird Al" Yankovic - The Hamilton Polka since it was not on the radio in the US! Listen to "Weird Al" Yankovic - The Hamilton Polka on Weird Al's channel here:

    Hamilton: An American Musical is a sung-and-rapped-through musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It tells the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Miranda said he was inspired to write the musical after reading the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow.
    The show draws heavily from hip hop, as well as R&B, pop, soul, and traditional-style show tunes. It casts non-white actors as the Founding Fathers and other historical figures. Miranda described Hamilton as about "America then, as told by America now."
    It's my first time listening to Hamilton and my first time listening to "Weird Al" Yankovic - The Hamilton Polka.

      All "unauthorized" Weird Al songs have videos based on the original videos as they cannot commercialize them and thus publish them for free somewhere online.
      The lady Gaga parody he made (born this way i think) had the Gaga clips with Al's face set over it, which was a lot more effort than they spend on most of those "semi legal" songs.

    • @Ugly_German_Truths
      @Ugly_German_Truths 8 месяцев назад

      No, ironically Lin-Manuel Miranda AND the cast totally loved this medley. Lin recorded himself reacting to hearing it the first time and the cast made a video where they dance and act to the music (and you won't believe what they made of the fart noise during the Schuylersister song...)
      It's really funny to see both.

    You should listen to Hamilton in 7 minutes, by RANGE. Maybe is not as fun as this polka, but it's beautiful and it also sums up the whole musical, although you maybe enjoy it more with the animatic made by Ziksua.
    You can also look for the Hamilton in 90 seconds, by Jacob Sutherland, which is way more summarized than the previous one, but this has a piece of every single song that appears in Hamilton and also it has an interesting coherence, so if you can listen to both in one video, I think that would be good 👌🏼

    • @beautifulmidnight

      If I remember right, he said he imagined Ben Franklin sounding like Colin Meloy, asked them if they wanted to record it and their response was akin to “Uh does the pope shit in the woods? Of course we will.”
      (Funnier still, someone asked a Ben Franklin historian what he thought about the song and his response was like “Well, I don’t think he’d swear so much, but the rest is pretty spot on.”

    • @dragonbretheren
      @dragonbretheren Год назад +1

      I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it performed live once and his band members had scripted parts during the "would you look at all that stuff" section where they pick up one or two words as Al takes breaths. Also, if you listen closely, the "I'm going to the" bit is 3-4 layered tracks intended to be played by the full band.
