Favorite line: CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME!!!
Mine (probably)
We signed a treaty with a king
Whose head is now in a basket
Would you like to take it out
And ask it?
“Hey, should we honor our treaty
King Louie’s head?”
“Uh, do whatever you want,
I’m super dead!”
I laughed for a solid ten minutes after listening to that. My favorite line is in the Reynold’s Pamphlet when Angelica says:
“I love my sister more than anything in this life I will choose her happiness over mine every time. Put what we had aside, I’m standing at her side. You could never be satisfied, God I hope you’re satisfied!”
Just the way she roasts him and he was there expecting back-up was just the best.
Me too. XD And that’s a good line too. Have you listened to Congratulations? It’s a cut song that is pretty much the extended version of this bit from The Reynolds Pamphlet, and it’s basically Angelica roasting Hamilton for two minutes. XD My favorite part is probably the first bit.
(soft and pretty)
Alexander
(deadbeat)
Congratulations
You have invented a new kind of stupid
A “damage you can never undo” kind of stupid
An “open all the cages at the zoo” kind of stupid
“Truly, you didn’t think this through?” kind of stupid
I love Congratulations. It’s the best.
Agreed. 😀
It’s King Louis, not King Louie ^^
Ah, sorry, you’re right. 😛 Fail on my part for not looking it up before typing.
My favorite line is Alex’s line at the beginning of his rap in this song, though that’s not exactly appropriate to put on BlogClan. 😛
Either that or when Jefferson asks “Who provided those funds?” and Madison replies with the smallest, most quietly resigned “france.”
Basically, the entirety of Cabinet Battle #2 is GOLD.
Where have you been?
Uh, France?
😛
And yes, Cabinet Battle #2 is perfect. XD
My favorite line: I don’t wanna fight, but I won’t apologize for doing what’s right OR Yeah keep ranting, we know who’s really doing the planting.
Icepaw’s favorite line: I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love.
In that vein
ALEXANDER
Here’s an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements
BURR
Sweet Jesus
Yup love that 😀
I love that part 🤣🤣🤣
🎵Keep scraping by🎵Anyone else get really emotional when listening to Satisfied at the part with Angelica’s starter line “I know my sister like I know my own mind” (and “you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind” is also emotional)
Satisfied was playing in the car and my sister and I were singing it together and at this part I was looking at her and just Angelica’s voice sounds so emotional and desperate aaahh I can’t even describe it.
I don’t, but then again I’m an only child, so I’m unable to fully comprehend the relationship siblings have with each other.
i love congratulations it is my lyfe!!!
How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower, somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross’s flag higher?
Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon,
An immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in!
He’s constantly confusing, confounding the British henchmen
EVERYONE GIVE IT UP FOR AMERICA’S FAVORITE FIGHTING FRENCHMAAAAAAAAAN
LAFAYETTE
I’m taking this horse by the reins I’m making redcoats redder with bloodstains
LAFAYETTE
And I’m never gonna stop until I make ’em drop and burn ’em up and scatter their remains, I’m
LAFAYETTE!
*French accent* I’m taking this horse by the reins, making redcoats redder with bloodstains!
LAFAYETTE
And I’m never gonna stop until I make ’em drop and burn ’em up and scatter their remains, I’m
LAYFAYETTE
Watch me engagin’ them, escapin’ them, enragin’ them, ow!
LAFAYETTE
I go to France for more funds!
And come back with more guns and ships, and so the balance shifts.
We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
*french*We can end this war in Yorktown, cut them off at sea
But, for this to succeed, there is someone else we need…
I know.
HAMILTON
Sir, he knows what to do, ingenuitive, and fluent in French, I mean
HAMILTON!
Sir, you’re gonna have to use him eventually, what’s he going to do on the bench, I mean
HAMILTON
No one has more resilience or matches my practical tactical brilliance!
HAMILTON
You want to fight for your land back?
HAMILTON
I need my right hand man back!
Yeah
Get your right hand man back
You know you gotta
Get your right hand man back
I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter but the sooner the better to get your right hand man back!
Alexander Hamilton
Troops are waiting in the field for you
If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide, oh.
Alexander Hamilton
I have soldiers that will yield for you
What if I get Assassins Creed Unity, and I see Alexander Hamilton there,
*RESISTS REFERENCE*
I’m not sure why Hamilton would be in Unity – doesn’t Unity cover the French Revolution? I don’t think Hamilton was involved in that at all.
However, Assassin’s Creed III covers the American Revolution, and I did play that game. I don’t recall ever running into Hamilton during that game (though I played the game long before becoming interested in Hamilton, so I may just not have cared enough about seeing him in the game to remember). However, you do get to interact with George Washington, and the main villain is Charles Lee (I’m a general, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!). Which to me is hilarious in hindsight. XD
I have no idea what it is but now I’m interested 😛
…What’s Assassin’s Creed? 😛
Assassin’s Creed is a series of video games. It’s a bit complicated but I’ll do my best to explain.
The gist is that there’s this company, Abstergo Industries, which has this technology that can access the memories of a person’s ancestors through their DNA (just go with it). So part of the game is played with a character named Desmond in modern times, and part of the game is played with one of his ancestors (usually a different ancestor for each game) when they’re accessing his ancestor’s memories. So one game explores an ancestor from the First Crusade, a couple games focus on an ancestor from the Italian Renaissance, one game focuses on the golden age of piracy, one on the American Revolution, and so on.
In addition, there are two secret societies that have existed for centuries, which still exist into modern times – the Assassins and the Templars. The Templars want to create a perfect world through rules and control at the cost of free will, and they want to use this super powerful ancient artifact to mind-control people into submission. The Assassins are the champions of free will, and they have fought against the Templars for years beyond count to keep them from taking over the world. Abstergo is a modern facet of the Templars, and they want to view the memories of ancient Assassins in order to learn where they hid powerful artifacts years and years ago. The modern day Assassins including Desmond are trying to stop them and keep people free.
There’s also something about another species of ancient, powerful beings, and they’re the ones who created these artifacts that the Templars want, but honestly it’s been a while since I played the games and I can’t remember how all of that went.
I hope I explained that well and it wasn’t too complicated?
That sounds cool 🙂
Yeah, I really like the games. 🙂 Though my roommate played the newest (I think) game Unity and said it wasn’t as good. I really liked Assassins’ Creed, the Ezio Trilogy, Assassin’s Creed III, and Black Flag. ^^ And like I said, Assassin’s Creed III takes place during the American Revolution, and the main villain of the game is Charles “I’m a general, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” Lee.
U should check it oust sometime
Well, if Unity is about the French Revolution as Jayie says, there is a possibility you’ll run into Lafayette. He was a pretty big figure in the French Revolution as well as the American, known as “The Hero of Two Worlds.” He was even offered the dictatorship of France during the June Rebellion (which is the rebellion Les Mis is set in), but turned it down.
I could definitely see running into Lafayette for that game. ^^
Alexander himself never appears in the game, but I do believe there might be some reference to him. Washington is a crucial point to the plot and ally and also appears in one of the DLCs as a villain.
Fun fact: Charles Lee, in game, is killed several years before he actually died in real life and in a different location, which is the only exception to Ubisoft’s rule of keeping the deaths as historically accurate as possible.
I MEANT ASSASSINS CREED 3 BOUT THE revolution gosh dang it
I have a correction to make. My favorite line is a cut line from Cabinet Battle #2.
Jefferson: Can you do me a favor?
Hamilton: Depends. I can try.
Jefferson: Tell Angelica I said hi.
Hamilton: She’s never mentioned you.
Jefferson: She’s not the type to share but since your so interested in foreign affairs.
*screams of the entire fandom*
Ooooooooo 😀
Well, Angelica and Jefferson did have an actual romance.
I don’t know whether it was for sure a romance, they wrote each other and historians think there might have been an affair I think, but does anyone know for sure?
When I have to write college essays I’m prolly just gonna copy and paste the entirety of “My Shot” and put it in quotes and just say “you get the idea.”
Excellent plan. XD
A+
😛
I’m purposely postponing my history credit until next semester so that I can get into a class about the American Revolution that was full this semester, JUST because I know I’ll already know half the material thanks to this musical. I guess you can say:
I’m willing to
wait for it.
*ba dum tssh*
😛

That moment when you know everything that happened during the American Revolution because of Hamilton…
And the American Revolution isn’t covered in Canadian history.
Lol xD
Literally me
My favorite songs (basically anything with Aaron Burr):
1. Wait For It (10000000% THE BEST)
2. Non-Stop
3. The Room Where it Happens
4. Dear Theodosia
5. Satisfied
My favorite definitely has to be Non-Stop. It’s just so epic, it gets me so hyped every time. ^^
I love Non-Stop! It is definitely my favorite song too! It makes me feel so many emotions in such a short time frame!
*punches wall* “John Jay got sick after writing five” *kicks chair over* “James Madison wrote twenty-nine” *jumps on table and scream at top of lungs* “Hamilton wrote…THE OTHER FIFTY-ONE!!!!!”
*music builds*
How do you write like you’re running out of time?
Hey!
Write day and night like you’re running out of time?
Hey!
Every day you fight like you’re running out of time
Like you’re running out of time
Are you running out of time?
*music builds more*
HOW DO YOU WRITE LIKE TOMORROW WON’T ARRIVE?
HOW DO YOU WRITE LIKE YOU NEED IT TO SURVIVE?
HOW DO YOU WRITE EVERY SECOND YOU’RE ALIVE
EVERY SECOND YOU’RE ALIVE
EVERY SECOND YOU’RE ALIVE
Non-Stop is really good, but I can’t pick just one favourite 😛
Fair enough. ^^ They’re all so good.
Ironically, I had Non-Stop on as I went to see if anyone replied to my comment here! 😛
^^
I agree, I love Wait For It, but it’s not 10000000% best! It’s 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% best! 😛 And oops I accidently pressed the screen shot button XD
YOU’RE TOTALLY RIGHT!!!!!! IT’S 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000*takes deep breath*0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% best. 😉
The battle of Yorktown…1776 😀
Monsieur Hamilton!
Monsieur Lafayette!
In command where you belong!
How you say…no sweat! We’re finally on the field, we’ve had quite a run! Immigrants…
We get the job done!
So what happens if we win?
I go back to France
I bring freedom to my people if I’m given the chance
We’ll be with you when you do!
How you say, no sweat
We’re finally on the field. We’ve had quite a run.
Immigrants – we get the job done!
So what happens if we win?
I go back to France
I bring freedom to my people if I’m given the chance
