He really has the high ground now
it must be nice, it must be nice....
@@saddestcatboy To have Washington on your side!
Hello there
*sigh*
Lin has gained the highest honor a man can be given: a weird al parody
Truth
No lies here
I can't remember who said it, but they said they new they made it when Al made a parody of it
@@thehunterator520 I heard that too. And it's true.
If I was an artist, I'd be happy to sell lots of records but I'd be even happier, ecstatic and joyful just to have this weird polka man parody my song.
Technically, it's a polka medley and not a parody. Still an honor for Al to do a polka medley of your songs.
Lin-Manuel is trying so hard NOT to cry because he just realized someone he has admired and respected since he was a child just made a song based off a musical he wrote.
Yeah, I think he cried several times, if not throughout the whole song. Either that or he had a lot of crusties in his eyes from sleeping. Either way his reactions are adorable and in some spots he looks like the kid who plays bass and gets really into it. Lol
Lady Gaga has called getting the Weird Al parodic treatment "a rite of passage" for any musical artist -- and Lin-Manuel Miranda's response here does have an undeniable element in it of a joyful "Today I am a man," indeed.
the reason i cried was because of laughing 🫠
Someone said that having weird al parody you was a sign you made it
@@ThatOneTeen288 I believe that was Kurt Cobain who said it. :)
It must be nice, it must be nice...
To have Yankovic on your side.
"Yankovic" would actually fit much better than "Weird Al"
@@alicecrawford1033 That's so much better! Why didn't I do that?
Look back at the paaarodies... (Which he wrote!)
They're still doing fine.
Sure is
@@gideonvanzyl9582 yup
Just a daily reminder that Weird Al has legit rap skills.
And polka skills
accordion skills
nunchuck skills
bow hunting skills
computer hacking skills
- The dude is even more of a legend than Charles Nelson Reilly.
Does he curse in it? I don’t think I’ve ever heard weird al curse!
Will IV as for as I'm aware, Weird Al never swears in his songs or in public
@@alexfu3165 Al is one of the cleanest performers out there - it's almost, I don't know, Weird.
Hardware Store, man.
Fun fact: Lin Manuel Miranda was eating dinner with Weird Al when they were informed that they would each be getting stars on the Hollywood wall of fame
That is....
Cool as hell.
Noooo way thats awesome
Kosaku Kawajiri I see your a jojo fan.
AW
Cool 👍
Lin: Writes bars that Eminem would find tricky.
Al: "OK, but what if it was 10% faster & sung in five-part harmony?"
Eminem would find 0% of Hamilton tricky
It is amazing how clearly Al can articulate lyrics when they are moving fast
Believe it or not, Al is quite a competent rapper. He was even invited to play Isaac Newton on Epic Rap Battles of History. Needless to say, he totally killed it!
Rappers have said that he is an amazing rapper.
Though, to be fair, he sung parts of this song at normal speed and then sped them up in post. That's why it sounds so good. But, yes, Weird Al is a really good rapper.
@@AzureKite Not really. I mean, they might speed it a half step, but not that much faster. 2:00 is Al. You can't speed up audio that much without changing tone.
did we forget White And Nerdy? the man can rap. he did Krayzie Bone justice
Dude, Lin knows, Grammys, Tonys and all that can't compare to be immortalized by Weird Al.

FACTS
you just won a Grammy, Lin: meh and you also just won an Oscar, Lin: meh Weird Al just wrote a parody song about your play, Lin: WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME REALLY DUDE THAT IS SO COOL AND AWSOME -EXCITED SQUEALING-
As Questlove said....
Brandon Trent Cool thing is that they are friends in real life and Lin asked him if he can make a medley
The World Turned Upside Down
It's at this point when Lin realized the future of musical theater is in polka
"Al: A Polka Revue" written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
42jwiener if weird al got a musical written about him that’d be a must see
@@92jwiener I'd watch that
Ok, where do I book tickets to this?!
"So, I've been working on this new musical..."
For him as a major Weird Al fan this has to be one of the highest awards he can get. Forget the grammies, oscars and the rest. You've made it when Weird Al makes a parody of not just one song but every song!!!
I agree with this.

Only the Rolling Stones and Bohemian Rhapsody have ever had dedicated polkas. The rest were medleys. To have a dedicated polka, is an honour amongst honours.
Lin Manuel Miranda must be like a superfan because he has a cameo in the new "totally legit, this all really happened" Weird Al Movie on Roku's streaming service.
@@methos-ey9nf yeah they are close friends according to Al. Lin also specifically asked Al to write this. They talk about it on Weird Al's interview on Fresh Air.
Weird Al is the most underrated, undervalued musician of our time. There, I said it.
He's a national treasure, and still hasn't gotten his due.
20mill says otherwise. And he still tours.
Weird Al puts on an AMAZING concert!
Lol you obviously don't know that Weird Al was the 3rd top singer for 3 decades!! Lol 3rd only to Madonna and Micheal Jackson. He's not under rated lol

You can tell it’s the reaction of a longtime fan who can’t believe he’s made it.
"Ascended fanboy"
It’s not real it’s just Lin laughing with al’s polka over it
@@DDLB13 It's actually just a cropped version of this video: ua-cam.com/video/PUaB4o8xMvg/v-deo.html
Exactly
S D Yes, and no. This version cuts out Jimmy Fallon from both the video and audio, so it’s just the one reaction. :)
I feel like I am watching two exceptionally gifted lyricists sharing a joke they wrote at different times in the room where it happens. Bravo.
But no one was in the room where it happened
And it clearly Blew us all away!
Lin is skilled enough to appreciate how much talent Weird Al has to condense the Hamilton soundtrack so smoothly in a totally new genre. As well he should, since Lin both wrote and performed the music.
Some artists: AL DON'T USE MY SONG AND RUIN IT
Lin Manuel: THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER
And you have Artists like Lady Gaga who says "When Al parodies you... then you know you made the big time" And I think she's finally forgiven the manager who put words into her mouth and not let her know Al had asked for permission.
Plus, he parodied many of the songs of the play, not just one.
His world turned upside down,
Weird Al managed to do the unimaginable,
People will tell about the story of tonight,
And after the first time he'll wish it was the last time, but he'll have said that last time soon it'll become a pastime,
*please help me I have a pun addiction*

Lol is that not normal
omg i thought i was the only one
SOMEBODY ELSE NOTICED!!!!!
That fact that guns and ships was almost complete was great
Trying to sing along killed my brain
I would say this is not really a parody (no words were changed)... but a beautifuly sung cliffsnotes version of a great musical, sung in the Polka style ;)
Weird Al includes polka medleys like this in most of his albums
Yeah a cover or remix?
It's a polka. He does them all the time. He'll take popular songs and string them together into a polka medley. In this case, it's the songs in Hamilton. =)
It isn't a parody, it's a polka.
It’s a polka overture
Can we all just say, God Bless his wife for thinking of recording him listening to this for the first time??? His reactions are great!!!

I had to restart the video because I was so focused on his face to notice the balloon. Lol
Lin gies from dying of laughter, to taken completely aback, and then repeat. The genuine look of joy on his face that his work has inspired great things like this is just incredible.
I NEED to see more musicians hear Weird Al's parody for the first time. It's such a huge honor, I want to see these moments more.
The best moments are the “oh SHIIIIIIIIIIT” faces when he does the hardest, fastest raps in the show faster than they are in the show.
I wanna see Daveeds reaction to those!
Weird Al usually speeds up his tape for the speed rap bits, as I recall. I think he records at half speed and speeds it up in post.
@@casadega2010 to be fair, he did rap "Hardware Store", so he could rap really fast if needed
@@maguc5906 That music is insane. I think he could do it

Understandable.
So does like literally everyone
@Valeria Rizzo ho appena realizzato che ho visto un tuo commento sotto al video di hamilton di sio ed ora sono felice di sapere che non sono l'unica italiana che sta guardando questo video
That is exactly how I feel. I wish he was my friend 😊
Like you could grab a beer with him!
I'd like to point out that he is such a talented songwriter and musician that, at 0:40, until 0:46, he realized exactly what was about to happen in the song, and was extremely pleased when it did.
Or he knows the pattern of a polka? (Not saying Lin isn’t super talented, but I also know when one of Al’s polka covers is about to do that)
@@BrianKyleMcCord Yeah when I saw him doing that I saw it more as a sign of the fact that he really is a fan of Al and listens to his stuff lol. I listened to Al pretty obsessively for a number of years and I appreciated that he saw it coming. :)
And again at 1:16 to 1:24
This is really special because Lin Manuel was originally a surgeon who actually saved Weird Al's live in the 80's, but was inspired to become a musician after hearing Al's first all-original song "Eat It", which was later famously parodied by Michael Jackson. Life comes full circle; it really makes you think.
You know he wasn't ACTUALLY a surgeon, right? He was just the actor who played a sergeon in Als documentary
@@mooncalf8716 No, he was a surgeon, you can clearly see it in the film.
@@Liesmith424 he was an actor for a surgeon in the film. Its not possible he was actually a surgeon in the 80s, he was born in 1980 so between the 80s and 90s he only got to ten years old. He played a surgeon in a film, he was never a surgeon in real life. He was an ELA teacher before he started his Broadway career.
@@mooncalf8716 He's just older than he looks, and it was easier to be a surgeon in the 80s and 90s, so surgeons were a lot younger back then, like in the documentary Doogie Howser MD.
@@Liesmith424 well Doogie is a whole different story and at this point I can't tell if you're joking or just stupid lmao
You can see, amongst the hilarity, a slight twinge of regret. "What if it had been a polka all along?"
Im imagining Leslie singing polka and I just 🤣🤣
Now your wondering the big questions
Um, no, you can't. Hamilton would have sucked as a polka. Lin seems to think that Weird Al's rap skills are impressive, but that's it. This was a hot mess. An honor, but a hot mess.
@@misspriss2482 username checks out
Polka is nature's intended genre for pop music. We are the fools who disobey the laws of God and science.
I would pay good money to see Weird Al play King George. Let's go full circle here.
That would be interesting and intriguing.
This.
You, sir, are a genius
Absolutely.
Dude that would be amazing
Weird Al being a Hamilton fan makes so much sense. Genius recognizes genius.
Seeing Lin geek out over Weird Al is just pure pleasure.
The four moods of Lin in this video:
-I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING THIS IS SO COOL
-THAT TRANSITION??? BETWEEN SONGS??? THANK YOU SIR
-oH SHIT SKILLS! WEIRD AL HAS SKILLS, DID YOU KNOW WERID AL HAS SKILLS????
-I AM JUST. VIBING.

It's ironic, because that's such a common reaction when many people saw Hamilton the first time too.
@@noahbaden90 That just brings back all of the painful memories 👁💧👄💧👁
I love his reactions to the transitions between each of the songs. Like he's marvelling at Al's skill and speed the whole way through, but then you get the smooth shift from one song to the next and he's like 'holy shit how'd he make that work so well?'
Lin-Manuel Miranda was born in 1980. Weird Al's Eat It came out in 1984. This means he grew up listening to Weird Al.
Lin: *Puts his hard work into hamilton*
Weird al: *makes this*
Lin: worth it-
Plot twist. He actually only wrote Hamilton in hopes that weird al would do something with it

@ dumb dumb
Well, I guess you’re aptly named on here. So yes, the first live performance of the song “Alexander Hamilton” was at the WH for the Obamas. But I think OP more was referring to the numerous actors in “Hamilton” who are on the record as saying that when the show was pitched to them as “a musical about Alexander Hamilton and the Founding Fathers”, that the idea sounded absolutely ridiculous, far fetched and likely to not succeed.
They were also clear to point out that once they heard the music and saw how Lin wanted to implement that idea, they were immediately 100% on board.
@@Seraphim-yv9sn his show "in the heights" was as crazy as saying that you were gon a write a hip hop, rap, rnb, and slighy jazz at some points musical about the founding fathers of america. Of course most people didn't take him seriously lol
I think Lin is realizing what Weird Al fans have known all along: Al and his band are terrific musicians. Also, they’re funny and supah-smaht.
He was a fan of Weird Al as a kid!
I misread the word ‘terrific’ as ‘terrible’ and I was about to start a war

This just sparked so much joy- to see Lin’s reaction really is amazing. I live hamilton and I live weird Al and this medley is so great. It’s so cool to see Lin experience it for the first time
Can we all just appreciate how his wife decided to film him
Friendly reminder that back in the 80s and 90s (when Miranda grew up) an artist getting a spoof by weird al was a huge sign that you made it. I can only imagine what that felt like to him
This. This is why I'm happy about this.

To put this into perspective: there've only been two other Weird Al polkas that have been about just one subject. One was only Rolling Stones songs, and the other was his polka version of "Bohemian Rhapsody." Lin just got the same privilege as the Rolling Stones and Queen. How do you like that!
EDIT: Polkamon also counts. Polka Face was made up of multiple songs, so it’s not the same thing. (Perform This Way, on the other hand, is specifically a Gaga parody, but that’s not the same thing either. Al has done plenty of polkas with multiple artists and parodies of specific artists, but rarely does he do polkas on one artist or subject).
RESPECT!
And Pokemon. You cannot forget Polkamon

I just need to make one thing clear. Yes, Weird Al can rap, we all knew that he's a musical genius. However, doing the fastest raps from Hamilton is one thing. I can do that. Doing the fastest raps from Hamilton EVEN FASTER? Sure I might be able to do that. But doing the fastest raps from Hamilton even faster, and in five-part harmony? No one can do that except this guy. That's the reason for Lin's "oh shit" faces.

The best parts are watching him react to the transitions and alternating amidst blushing, getting teary eyed and childlike delight.
I'm pretty sure I caught at least one "okay, breathe and calm down a little, or we're gonna sob" moment!
Most other artists: How dare you ruin my song?!
Lin: Oh god this is a masterpiece
Nobody says that because Al gets their permission and pays them.
Almost no one is upset by a parody from weird al

@@DevinAK49 He pays them. It actually isn't clear weather song parodies as the ones done by Weird Al are fair use (the definition of fair use is a bit loose and there are no precedents) so it is better for him to pay part of the proceeds to the original artists than risk a long and costly legal battle that if he loses might end his career. It also helps him keep good relationship with the music industry
