Just listened to this musical for the first time a couple days ago, and fell in love with it! This song cracks me up every time.

I can’t believe I actually lived though the full transition from VHS to DVD. Like there are people alive who have never seen a VHS tape….I remember when we were still tryna figure out how the fuck they got a full movie onto a cd.

my mom's comments on every act 2 hamilton song

What'd I Miss: oh THIS is Thomas Jefferson!!
Cabinet Battle #1: "turn around bend over i'll show you where my shoe fits" still more civilized than the 2016 presidential debates though
Take A Break: philip grew up fast
Say No To This: how hot was this hamilton anyway (me: what why) a lot of people seem to be in love with him i'm just wondering
The Room Where It Happens: this must be your favorite song, because it's about wanting to be included
Schuyler Defeated: *hears first four notes* i thought we already heard this song
Cabinet Battle #2: i wish all debates were just rap battles
Washington on Your Side: the fast talking guy is back
One Last Time: did he die
I Know Him: is this the king again (me: yes) oh i thought he died or something
The Adams Administration: "sit down john you fat motha--" i thought he was friends with john though (me: nope wrong john)
We Know: "my god" is it weird that his voice is soothing to me
Hurricane: intense
The Reynolds Pamphlet: were the hamiltons like the kardashians
Burn: this is angelica right (me: no it's eliza) well the hamilton doesn't deserve her
Blow Us All Away: "How about when i get back we all strip down to our socks" I DONT LIKE THIS BOY
Stay Alive Reprise: oh no.
It's Quiet Uptown: i should be crying but it makes me wonder if i would be this sad if you died, and i don't know if i would be, so now i'm just guilty (me: oh my god)
The Election of 1800: "can we get back to politics please" i agree
Your Obedient Servant: this song is almost as passive aggressive as you are
The World Was Wide Enough: "the world was wide enough for both hamilton and me" wow
Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story: if your father cheated on me and then wrote a song about it i probably would not do anything for him again
Conclusion: good music but i'm still not buying you tickets

i had a revelation.

the opening song: alexander hamilton

anthony, or philip, sings “the ten dollar founding father without a father” - coincidentally, isn’t hamilton his father father?

daveed, or jefferson, sings: “every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away” - coincidentally, doesn’t hamilton argue with jefferson over slavery?

oak, or madison, sings: “put a pencil to his temple and connected it to his brain” - coincidentally, doesn’t hamilton write the federalist papers with madison?

connections, guys. i’ve never realized that even who sang what had importance.

Jefferson: Did you forget Lafayette?
Hamilton: What?
Jefferson: *pulls back hair*
Lafayette: Oui oui motherfucker
