It's Hamilton Day for the first time in like forever. Were you as mind blown as me the first time you heard this craziness? Thanks for checking out the channel and if you like the video consider subscribing. Have a great one!
All "unauthorized" Weird Al songs have videos based on the original videos as they cannot commercialize them and thus publish them for free somewhere online. The lady Gaga parody he made (born this way i think) had the Gaga clips with Al's face set over it, which was a lot more effort than they spend on most of those "semi legal" songs.
No, ironically Lin-Manuel Miranda AND the cast totally loved this medley. Lin recorded himself reacting to hearing it the first time and the cast made a video where they dance and act to the music (and you won't believe what they made of the fart noise during the Schuylersister song...) It's really funny to see both.
Lin's wife recorded Lin's reaction when he found out about this and listened to it for the first time. There's also a side-by-side of Lin's reaction with Jimmy Fallon's reaction (they're friends), and it's hilarious. ;)
I was disappointed that this wasn't a reaction to THAT video. I'm actually not personally a big Weird AL fan, but Lin is, and for that reason, seeing one of his boyhood dreams come true and his emotions in that moment makes it one of my favorite videos of all time.
4:10 "I don't think if Eliza and Angelica had that voice Hamilton would have fallen for them as hard as he did" *coughs in historical love letters to John Laurens*
I feel like this wasn't just your first time hearing this, but your first time hearing one of Al's Polka medleys...yeah, they're all like this. And no, Al wasn't playing all the instruments here, just accordion. His band (and a bunch of other musicians) were playing the rest. But yeah, check out more of Al's polkas. Good stuff.
Lin is actually a giant mega Weird Al fan. Seriously, search for the video where he talks about meeting Al for the first time and how hard he fanboyed. LoL. They've since become incredibly good friends and even found out while they were hanging out together that they both be getting stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! :-)
And i love the video the cast recorded in their time off to the Polka... so funny. And a great sign of respect from one set of musicians to another, just like Weird Al's Polka is a great hommage to the play!
If I remember right, he said he imagined Ben Franklin sounding like Colin Meloy, asked them if they wanted to record it and their response was akin to “Uh does the pope shit in the woods? Of course we will.” (Funnier still, someone asked a Ben Franklin historian what he thought about the song and his response was like “Well, I don’t think he’d swear so much, but the rest is pretty spot on.”
I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it performed live once and his band members had scripted parts during the "would you look at all that stuff" section where they pick up one or two words as Al takes breaths. Also, if you listen closely, the "I'm going to the" bit is 3-4 layered tracks intended to be played by the full band.
You should listen to Hamilton in 7 minutes, by RANGE. Maybe is not as fun as this polka, but it's beautiful and it also sums up the whole musical, although you maybe enjoy it more with the animatic made by Ziksua. You can also look for the Hamilton in 90 seconds, by Jacob Sutherland, which is way more summarized than the previous one, but this has a piece of every single song that appears in Hamilton and also it has an interesting coherence, so if you can listen to both in one video, I think that would be good 👌🏼
Clearly this is the first Weird Al "Polka" you'd ever heard. Can't wait for your reactions to the rest ^_^ Also, you know Weird Al has a whole band ... like since the 80s.
Exited to see a new Hamilton Day, and to hear that the history stuff is coming back! :3 I hope we'll get to see you reacting to more Overly Sarcadtic videos, and more Hamilton stuff! (Maybe some of the Fans animatics? :3 Trust me, they are totaly worth watching, especially for the cut songs!)
Yes! My thing is just that right now I have a few days a week to do videos, but my real job takes up 60 hours and it’s really kinda thrown a hitch in my variety
This is my first time watching you, so I'm not sure if you meant to put up a picture of Danny Sexbang of NSP when talking about Weird Al (at around 0:09) but I found it funny anyway...like the Pokemon evolution goes Finn Wolfhard > Danny Sexbang > Weird Al. 😅
You mentioned how LMM's face must have looked when he heard about this... Weird Al actually sent him the recording (just audio I think, not this video version) and LMM recorded his reaction to listening to it for the first time. You can find it on YT as well as an interview with LMM on a talk show where they played it as well.
I've seen the video, and I think Al sent Lin and company alone a video- in the reaction video, it looks like Lin's watching a video that's in time with this!
If we're down the Hamilton rabbit hole I need to recommend the Bad Lip Reading series "Axe-Assassin Albertson," in which, as the channel name suggests, the audio is replaced with lip readings that form its own nonsensical musical. It's five short-ish videos that have made me laugh extremely hard
2:42 - Alex’s reputation as something of a “tomcat” *_is_* referenced in the play…? Wait… just noticed- why is The Room Where It Happened the one bit that _isn’t in polka?_
When you said Lin Manuel Mirada’s face when he heard what wire Al had done to Hamilton, I remembered there is a video of him reacting to this and the cast joking around and dancing and lip syncing to it
I'm from rural Wisconsin. When I was in grade school in the 80s, we learned how to waltz, square dance, and polka in gym class. 😂 Also saw Weird Al in concert this last summer - absolutely fantastic show!
Lin did hear what Weird All did to his Magnum Opus and LOVED IT! Lin is a huge Weird AL fan, like a geek for him. Here is the video. He laughed and cried! th-cam.com/video/G8kIQ9i1bfY/w-d-xo.html
"that was my wedding vow" of course, how can anyone call themselves a romantic if they don't promise their loved one they would spark war for their love at least once
You are not obviously familiar with Weird Al 's polka medleys, they always have crazy sound effects 😜 I recommend the Hot Rocks Polka to compare... it's from the late 80s but pretty much all of his albums have a polka medley track 🥰
Absolutely this .. this medley pulls out all the polka stylings and sound effects Weird Al has used in his polka medleys over the years. It's truly a magnum opus in that respect
You should also react to How Lin-Manuel Miranda Orders a Pizza by Daniel Thrasher. It's an amazing parody, almost Weird Al style, too. Totally a must watch for a Hamilton enjoyer
@@YoBGS My sister is engaged, and if I have to attend, I will find a way to make a Hamilton reference, or at least ruin it as well as Alex ruined his marriage after the Reynolds Pamphlet.🤣
Watching this reaction, I feel kind you've heard an insufficient amount of Weird Al's Polka Fits. There's usually at least one on every album. I particularly like Angry White Boy Polka.
I love Al Yankovic, but replacing the power of Leslie's performance of "Wait For It" with anything ought to be a crime punishable by being sent to Weehawken at dawn. Edit 3:28 I'm glad you agree.
Nah. If the creator/writer himself supports it (wholeheartedly), that’s enough. Plus, there’s a lot of powerhouse performances that Al pays tribute to in this song.
It's Hamilton Day for the first time in like forever. Were you as mind blown as me the first time you heard this craziness? Thanks for checking out the channel and if you like the video consider subscribing. Have a great one!
There is a side by side comparison video of A Winters Ball / Helpless and Satisfied. Please consider watching it for Hamilton day?
@yoBGS you should react to the new oversimplified videos
All "unauthorized" Weird Al songs have videos based on the original videos as they cannot commercialize them and thus publish them for free somewhere online.
The lady Gaga parody he made (born this way i think) had the Gaga clips with Al's face set over it, which was a lot more effort than they spend on most of those "semi legal" songs.

Seriously, bless Vanessa for thinking to record it because that video is like instant serotonin.
@@efkaservicegirl Especially since they were both running on basically no sleep from a brand new (like, less than a week old) baby at that point.
I was disappointed that this wasn't a reaction to THAT video. I'm actually not personally a big Weird AL fan, but Lin is, and for that reason, seeing one of his boyhood dreams come true and his emotions in that moment makes it one of my favorite videos of all time.
“Found out about this”? He asked Al to do it.
@@atskooc untrue.
“Let’s just hit play”
🎵 how does a bastard orphan- 🎵
Hits pause immediately
That’s not fair I didn’t know! I didn’t know!!!
@@YoBGS
No, you didn’t know-
…but you did know that it was Weird Al, and polka, and Hamilton……
4:10 "I don't think if Eliza and Angelica had that voice Hamilton would have fallen for them as hard as he did"
*coughs in historical love letters to John Laurens*
“Mind you do justice to the length of my.. nose 😏”
2:50 Martha Washington named her ferral Tom cat after him that's true
I feel like this wasn't just your first time hearing this, but your first time hearing one of Al's Polka medleys...yeah, they're all like this. And no, Al wasn't playing all the instruments here, just accordion. His band (and a bunch of other musicians) were playing the rest.
But yeah, check out more of Al's polkas. Good stuff.
Poor Peggy, everyone forgets her so hard they don't even notice she's also Maria.
Lin is actually a giant mega Weird Al fan. Seriously, search for the video where he talks about meeting Al for the first time and how hard he fanboyed. LoL. They've since become incredibly good friends and even found out while they were hanging out together that they both be getting stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! :-)
And i love the video the cast recorded in their time off to the Polka... so funny. And a great sign of respect from one set of musicians to another, just like Weird Al's Polka is a great hommage to the play!
god you should watch lin's reaction to this he LOVED it
There is a video of LMM reacting to some of the Hamilton Polka. LMM is apparently a big Weird Al fan, so he just kicks out of Al polka-fying his work.
It isn't a Weird Al polka without the weird noises in the background.
i think the cat sound effect is because of the "tomcat" reputation
Yo... LMM is a HUGE Weird Al fan. You need to check out his reaction to hearing this the first time.
Wierd Al did not release this with the Video. It was the music only.
It's time for BEN FRANKLINS SONG!
Cut by LMM from the play and he said it was a Decemberists vibe, so SURE ENOUGH THEY SANG IT!
If I remember right, he said he imagined Ben Franklin sounding like Colin Meloy, asked them if they wanted to record it and their response was akin to “Uh does the pope shit in the woods? Of course we will.”
(Funnier still, someone asked a Ben Franklin historian what he thought about the song and his response was like “Well, I don’t think he’d swear so much, but the rest is pretty spot on.”
2:52 the cat noise reminded me of the lyric from A Winter’s Ball “Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him (Hamilton)”
If you haven't heard 'Hardware Store' by Weird Al, the speed and word play are excellent. It's one that's never performed live because it's insanity.
I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it performed live once and his band members had scripted parts during the "would you look at all that stuff" section where they pick up one or two words as Al takes breaths. Also, if you listen closely, the "I'm going to the" bit is 3-4 layered tracks intended to be played by the full band.
Forty straight seconds of rattling off an itinerary list at mach speed without a breath.
@@Lord_Numpty248 syllables in 30.7 seconds (just over 8 syllables/second) for the rapid-fire item listing alone!
You should listen to Hamilton in 7 minutes, by RANGE. Maybe is not as fun as this polka, but it's beautiful and it also sums up the whole musical, although you maybe enjoy it more with the animatic made by Ziksua.

Trust me, Al was dropping lounge interludes into his polka medlies before Richard Cheese even conceived of his stage name.
A fortune teller in the Revolutionary War era would probably be killed, wouldn't they?
4:49 So there's a video of Lin Manuel Miranda and Jimmy Fallon on a video call both hearing Hamilton Polka for the first time.
Clearly this is the first Weird Al "Polka" you'd ever heard. Can't wait for your reactions to the rest ^_^
Also, you know Weird Al has a whole band ... like since the 80s.
I saw him live back in May and it was INCREDIBLE
Exited to see a new Hamilton Day, and to hear that the history stuff is coming back! :3
I hope we'll get to see you reacting to more Overly Sarcadtic videos, and more Hamilton stuff! (Maybe some of the Fans animatics? :3 Trust me, they are totaly worth watching, especially for the cut songs!)
Yes! My thing is just that right now I have a few days a week to do videos, but my real job takes up 60 hours and it’s really kinda thrown a hitch in my variety
@@YoBGS hey, take your time! Me for one, don't mind waiting. And I'm sure the other fans of your content won't eather ^^

Weird Al's "polkas" are more mashups of a genre of music In a polka style look at "angry white boy polka " ect
If we're down the Hamilton rabbit hole I need to recommend the Bad Lip Reading series "Axe-Assassin Albertson," in which, as the channel name suggests, the audio is replaced with lip readings that form its own nonsensical musical. It's five short-ish videos that have made me laugh extremely hard
Those are hilarious! "Cupid bacon, Elias is my frog..."
Is nobody going to mention his Al picture being Dan?
What nah that’s totally weird Al and not Danny Sexbang
@@YoBGS Well, Dan will think it was a compliment!
2:41 Damnit, Martha, why is your feral tomcat in Al Yankovic's Hamilton Polka?
I legit thought about ur hamilton videos yesterday and was hoping for a new one, and my wish was delivered ;D
2:42 - Alex’s reputation as something of a “tomcat” *_is_* referenced in the play…?
Wait… just noticed- why is The Room Where It Happened the one bit that _isn’t in polka?_
I know you don't generally do movies but the Werid Al Movie is a masterpiece.
It’s a magnificent, bizarre fever dream of a movie.
9:25 Weird Al plays the accordion, and I believe he knows a few other instruments, but he has a band playing most of the other instruments.
Your expression change and moment of realization at 7:25!! Amazing! Kind of exactly how I felt hearing that part for the first time!
When you said Lin Manuel Mirada’s face when he heard what wire Al had done to Hamilton, I remembered there is a video of him reacting to this and the cast joking around and dancing and lip syncing to it
are we ever getting a Part 2 for Hamilton Tier list??? Bring back Hamilton Day
I’m so excited that Hamilton day is back!! I’d suggest listening to cut songs like First Burn, Congratulations, and Let it Go. They’re all amazing!
I'm from rural Wisconsin. When I was in grade school in the 80s, we learned how to waltz, square dance, and polka in gym class. 😂
Also saw Weird Al in concert this last summer - absolutely fantastic show!
Lin cried tears of joy when he heard this for the first time.
LMM is a HUGE Al fan, so he loved it. Weird Al is a GENIUS.
Im so glad Hamilton Day is back :D
And even I think you forgot to comment on at the very end of the accordion solo he very quickly says “and you’ll blow us all away”
Lin did hear what Weird All did to his Magnum Opus and LOVED IT! Lin is a huge Weird AL fan, like a geek for him. Here is the video. He laughed and cried! th-cam.com/video/G8kIQ9i1bfY/w-d-xo.html
"that was my wedding vow" of course, how can anyone call themselves a romantic if they don't promise their loved one they would spark war for their love at least once
I think they are divorced is the joke
I'm sure it's been mentioned a few times now, but the Hamilton cast choreographed new video for this song, and hilarity abounds!
Hamilton Polka has Lin's reaction. Trust me. He loved it.
th-cam.com/video/G8kIQ9i1bfY/w-d-xo.html
Lin totally geeked out when he was on Jimmy Kimmel with Weird Al. He's a maga fan of Weird Al.
Weird Al never does polka as parodies. Lin is a SUPER-FAN of Weird Al.
If you want to see weird Al's rap talent in full you should listen to his song "hardware store, he goes CRAZY fast for a while in that song.
I haven't even gotten past the ads and I'm so excited.
I like how he turned a relatively short song into 13 minutes
ok now I want the original cast, to do a cover of this, and see what that sounds like.
4:50 - If you want to see Lin Manuel's legitimate, first-time reaction to this song... look no further: th-cam.com/video/PUaB4o8xMvg/w-d-xo.html
You need to do a reaction video to Weird Al's Hardware Store if you haven't heard the song. Mind-blowing 🤯
The cat - "Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him"
7:26 Ok your face when Al is up-tempo of the fastest lines in the show is amazing.
I did wonder if he might not have “cheated” by speeding up his recording in parts, but if he legit did it at speed, then…
LMM has a cameo in the new Weird Al movie
YAASS! I was so excited to see LMM in there 🥰😂
There's a great video of Lin-Manuel and Jimmy Fallon simultaneously reacting to a good part of this song and it's hilarious.
He’s a huge Weird Al fan he loved this
You are not obviously familiar with Weird Al 's polka medleys, they always have crazy sound effects 😜 I recommend the Hot Rocks Polka to compare... it's from the late 80s but pretty much all of his albums have a polka medley track 🥰

Hello I have subscribed to your TH-cam channel
Just adding that you MUST watch LMM's reaction to this.
You should also react to How Lin-Manuel Miranda Orders a Pizza by Daniel Thrasher. It's an amazing parody, almost Weird Al style, too. Totally a must watch for a Hamilton enjoyer
Could you react to some clips or Songs from the german hamilton, that debuted recently in Hamburg?
Thank you the reaction
this is so good its good
YESSS THE HAMILTON POLKA
insanely fast song eh? :D great and catchy! :D
Did he watch Lin’s reaction to this.
Imagine if someone had the "kill your friends and family... to remind you of my love" in their wedding vows. 😂
There’s a reason the marriage didn’t last my friend haha
@@YoBGS My sister is engaged, and if I have to attend, I will find a way to make a Hamilton reference, or at least ruin it as well as Alex ruined his marriage after the Reynolds Pamphlet.🤣
You should check out some of Lin Manuel Miranda other Musical In The Heights Broadway versions sometime.
If you are still taking suggestions, may I suggest Hamilton in seven minutes /DreamSMP by MetaphoricallyRose
Can you react to Hamilton in 7 minutes or congratulations animatic?
I was wondering if you'd ever get around to reacting to this. 🤣
you should watch Lin Manuel Miranda react to this!
7:30 everyone sing!!! (try to keep up!) :D 9:10 FASTER!!!! :D
1. There's video of Lin reacting to this and it's great.
2. Tell me you have heard the Muppets Hamilton ... because it's GOLD
Watching this reaction, I feel kind you've heard an insufficient amount of Weird Al's Polka Fits. There's usually at least one on every album.
I particularly like Angry White Boy Polka.
I was thinking the same thing.
Now do the version where the Hamilton cast lip-synced this.
4:35 ahhh I see what u did there
Yes more hamilton wooo!
Less talk more video.
I think this video was really good and the polka is also amazing. I think you should check out the Dream SMP full story by EvanMCGaming
That was hard to listen to...
Stop interrupting!!

Dude this is one of, if not the worst, most annoying reactions to anything ive ever seen. I'll never get this time back.
Thanks for the feedback! I would love to hear 1-2 things in particular you think I should do to improve!
