    Sorry if there are any mistakes!
    Also, I'll try to continue this with the other songs from In the Heights

  • @SilentWindODoom
    @SilentWindODoom 3 роки тому +45

    I imagine that the line about his fame is a joke that doubles back.
    "My name is Usnavi and you probably never heard my name." Can be interpreted to mean either he's not famous or that you've never heard the name "Usnavi" before because his parents made it up. Then the next line he says he's not famous and if you took the other meaning, you realize he meant something else, then wonder which he really meant. It's a bit of wordplay that toys with your expectations.
