To have the music from Hamilton stuck in my head for weeks on end?

[blubberball]

I saw it for the first time on Disney plus, and have now fallen in love with the music. It's one of my favourite musicals now.

I adore theodosia, the added joy of the YouTube video of Leslie Odam Jnr with Cynthia Erivo is all my heavens wrapped up in one. But I am annoying myself with humming and singing “say no to this” but that’s mainly because people keep posting Katherine Ryan’s version on my social media.

... And my earworm is back DA DA DA DAHHH DE DAH DE DA DAH DA DA DAH DAH DE DA DA DE DAH DE DAH DE DAHHH

I thought I’d got rid of my earworm... and now it’s back ...( shouldn’t have opened this thread, grrr.)

You'll be back is just the best. The younger DC and I are always singing it,

I've only heard the Randy Rainbow "Room Where It Happened", and it's hard to believe anything will top that...

But from this thread, clearly I should try the real one.

We like to sing 'Never gonna be president now' every time in government screws up. Which is quite often these days.

To include women in the sequel WERK!

Leslie Odam Jnr's voice on Dear Theodosia is exquisite. LMM's not so much

Weird Als Hamilton Polka is worth a listen, as is the YT clip of Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and the OBC doing a Zoom rendition of 'Helpless' (if only to watch the divine Daveed Diggs grooving away with his drink)

I can’t believe no one has mentioned “ I’m just like my country, I’m young snappy and hungry and I’m not throwing away my shot”. The irony that he did indeed throw his shot literally away at the end is not lost on me.

You are my people! I even dream Hamilton lyrics sometimes!!

I don't think it was lost on anyone. It was the entire point.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=oNEdEDbhTQw The weird Al polka version is fun. Lin Miranda Manuel is a big Weird Al fan and was really happy he did it.

My brain: NEVER GON’ BE PRESIDENT NOW

Also my brain: please stop, it’s 2am

You mean to tell me there are people who don't have the songs playing constantly on a loop in their head...

@yelyah22 And now I've seen the OBC I am extremely in love with Daveed Diggs (who plays Lafayette/Jefferson). Me too.

What did I miss? What did I miss?

Thomas Jefferson’s coming home.

YANBU.

No one:
My brain: HERE COMES THE GENERAL (ladies and gentlemen!)

The DC are really into the songs too (although glossing over some of the fruitier language because they're only wee). DD5 likes "And Peggy!"

YANBU. I've been randomly singing lyrics from Hamilton for the past 4 years or so. Just watched the filmed version and loved seeing how it was staged.

Have you heard the recent socially distanced performance of "Helpless" with the original cast? If anything, Phillipa Soo's voice sounds even better than it did in the the recordings.

Y.A.N.B.U.

I just wander the house singing 'my name is Alexander Hamilton' in response to any question my kids ask. It's probably time they went back to school tbf.

What!! Isn’t it “young, scrappy and hungry”?

Surely not “snappy”
If so I’m keeping my ear worm version

Yes, it's "scrappy".

YANBU!

I'm obsessed with it after watching on Disney. Would soo love to see it on stage.

Satisfied has got to be the best song but I seem to constantly have The Schuyler Sisters stuck in my head - just the line 'Angelicaaa, Elizaaaa --- and Peggy!' which is quite annoying I must admit

DH always grumbles when I play the soundtrack but I know he secretly loves it. He even has a dance for The Room Where It Happens.

Nope, I get mentally triggered by anyone saying Hamilton lyrics and the whole song is then in my head.

E.g. someone says "here comes the train" and my brain is busy singing "here comes the general"

The only non Hamilton instance of this for me is the word Glasgow which instantly conjours up ABBA's super trooper

YANBU! I worked on a pantomime last year and the prologue was a parody of the opening number so I now sing a weird version which involves him being born near Barnsley!! I’m also prone to blurting out sit down John you fat motherf*er!

Oh I really want to like it but I just can't get into it! I don't think I understand it

Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?

I’m really not a musicals fan, but Hamilton has featured in all of my recent insomniac episodes... love it! My favourite is Lafayette and his lightning-fast rapping ❤️
