Where is our Knight of the POTM announcer for this month? We need more votes!
Wherefore art thou oh great knight?

IM BAAAAACK!!!!

'Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?'

'Oh well sure, sir! I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service sir! I have been looking for you.'
'I'm getting nervous!'
'Sir'
-Hamilton, only the best musical EVER

I heard your name at Princeton
I was seeking accelerated course of study
When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours
I may have punched him. It's a blur, sir (lol me)
He handles the financials?

You punched the bursar

Yes!
I wanted to do what you did
Graduate in two, then join the revolution.
He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid
So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?

It was my parents' dying wish before they passed

You're an orphan. Of course! I'm an orphan
God I wish there was a war
Then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for

Can I buy you a drink?

That would be nice

While we're talking
Let me offer you some free advice
Talk less

What?

Smile more

Ha

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

You can't be serious

You wanna get ahead?

Yes

Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

Those redcoats don't want it with me
'Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I'm free!
Oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!

Brrrah, brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said "Come again?" (Ayy)
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course

Good luck with that: you're takin' a stand

I am not throwing away my shot!
I am not throwing away my shot!
Hey yo, I’m just like my country
I’m young, scrappy and hungry
And I’m not throwing away my shot!
I’m ‘a get a scholarship to King’s College
I prob’ly shouldn’t brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish
The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish
I gotta holler just to be heard
With every word, I drop knowledge!
I’m a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
Tryin’ to reach my goal. My power of speech: unimpeachable
Only nineteen but my mind is older
These New York City streets get colder, I shoulder
Ev’ry burden, ev’ry disadvantage
I have learned to manage, I don’t have a gun to brandish
I walk these streets famished
The plan is to fan this spark into a flame
But damn, it’s getting dark, so let me spell out the name
I am the—

A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R—we are—meant to be…

A colony that runs independently
Meanwhile, Britain keeps shittin’ on us endlessly
Essentially, they tax us relentlessly
Then King George turns around, runs a spending spree
He ain’t ever gonna set his descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century
Enter me!

(He says in parentheses)

Don’t be shocked when your hist’ry book mentions me
I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually, you’ll see my ascendancy
And I am not throwing away
My shot
I am not throwing away
My shot
Hey yo, I’m just like my country
I’m young, scrappy and hungry
And I’m not throwing away my shot

 

[Birdgirl24]

What did I just witness on a bird forum of all places lol?

 

[StormyPica]

I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot

It's time to take a shot!

I dream of life without a monarchy
The unrest in France will lead to anarchy?
Anarchy how you say, how you, oh, anarchy?

When I fight, I make the other side panicky
With my, shot!

Yo, I'm a tailor's apprentice
And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis (loco parentis)
I'm joining the rebellion 'cause I know it's my chance
To socially advance, instead of sewin' some pants (woo)

I'm gonna take a shot
And but we'll never be truly free
Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me
You and I
Do or die

Wait 'til I sally in on a stallion
With the first black battalion
Have another shot

Geniuses, lower your voices
You keep out of trouble and you double your choices
I'm with you, but the situation is fraught
You've got to be carefully taught
If you talk, you're gonna get shot

Burr, check what we got

Mister Lafayette, hard rock like Lancelot!
I think your pants look hot

Laurens, I like you a lot
Let's hatch a plot blacker than the kettle callin' the pot

What are the odds the gods would put us all in one spot
Poppin' a squat on conventional wisdom, like it or not
A bunch of revolutionary manumission abolitionists?
Give me a position, show me where the ammunition is

Oh, am I talkin' too loud?
Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth
I never had a group of friends before
I promise that I'll make y'all proud

Let's get this guy in front of a crowd!

Ev’rybody sing:
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Hey!
Whoa!
Wooh!!
Whoa!
Ay, let ‘em hear ya!

Let’s go!

I said shout it to the rooftops!
Said, to the rooftops!
Come on!

 

[StormyPica]

Rise up
When you're living on your knees, you rise up

Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up
Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up
When are these colonies gonna rise up? (Whoa, whoa)
When are these colonies gonna rise up? (Whoa)
When are these colonies gonna rise up? (Whoa)
When are these colonies gonna rise up?

Rise up!

I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
When's it gonna get me?
In my sleep, seven feet ahead of me?
If I see it comin', do I run or do I let it be?
Is it like a beat without a melody?

See, I never thought I'd live past twenty
Where I come from some get half as many
Ask anybody why we livin' fast and we laugh, reach for a flask
We have to make this moment last, that's plenty
Scratch that this is not a moment, it's the movement
Where all the hungriest brothers with something to prove went?
Foes oppose us, we take an honest stand
We roll like Moses, claimin' our promised land

And? If we win our independence?
Is that a guarantee of freedom for our descendants?
Or will the blood we shed begin an endless cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?
I know the action in the street is excitin'
But Jesus, between all the bleedin' 'n' fightin'

I've been readin' 'n' writin'
We need to handle our financial situation
Are we a nation of states what's the state of our nation?
I'm past patiently waitin' I'm passionately mashin' every expectation

Every action's an act of creation
I'm laughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow
For the first time, I'm thinkin' past tomorrow

And I am not throwin' away my shot!

 

[foxgloveparrot]

I may not live to see our glory!
(I may not live to see our glory!)
But I've seen wonders great and small
(I've seen wonders great and small)
'Cause if the tomcat can get married
(If Alexander can get married)
There's hope for our ass, after all!
Raise a glass to freedom (Hey!)
Something you will never see again!
No matter what she tells you
Let's have another round tonight!
Raise a glass to the four of us! (Ho!)
To the newly not poor of us! (Woo!)
We'll tell the story of tonight
Let's have another round
Well, if it isn't Aaron Burr (Sir!)
I didn't think that you would make it
To be sure (Burr!)
I came to say congratulations
Spit a verse, Burr!
I see the whole gang is here
You are the worst, Burr!
Ignore them, congrats to you, Lieutenant Colonel
I wish I had your command instead of manning George's journal

 

[StormyPica]

No, you don't
Yes, I do
Now, be sensible
From what I hear, you've made yourself indispensable
Well, well, I heard
You've got a special someone on the side, Burr
Is that so?
What are you tryin' to hide, Burr?
I should go
No, these guys should go
What? No!
Leave us alone
Man!
It's alright, Burr, I wish you'd brought this girl with you tonight, Burr
You're very kind, but I'm afraid it's unlawful, sir
What do you mean?
She's married
I see
She's married to a British officer
Oh shit
Congrats again, Alexander, smile more
I'll see you on the other side of the war
I will never understand you
If you love this woman, go get her! What are you waiting for?
I'll see you on the other side of the war
I'll see you on the other side of the war

 

[StormyPica]

we gonna have the whole musical in here by the time the poll closes!

 

[foxgloveparrot]

There's nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk
At the students in the common
Just to watch them talk
Take Philip Schuyler, the man is loaded
Uh-oh, but little does he know that
His daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at-
Angelica!
(Work, work!)
Eliza!
And Peggy! (Work, work!)
The Schuyler sisters!
Angelica! Peggy! Eliza!
(Work!)

Daddy said to be home by sundown
Daddy doesn't need to know
Daddy said not to go downtown
Like I said, you're free to go
But look around, look around, the
Revolution's happening in New York
New York
Angelica
(Work!)

It's bad enough daddy wants to go to war
People shouting in the square
It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
New ideas in the air
Look around, look around
Angelica, remind me what we're looking for

She's lookin' for me!

Eliza, I'm lookin' for a mind at work (work)
I'm lookin' for a mind at work! (Work)
I'm lookin' for a mind at work! (Work)
Whooaaaaa!
Whooaaaaa!
Work!

 

[Rozalka]

geez what's going on here?

 

[StormyPica]

Wooh! There's nothin' like summer in the city
Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty
Excuse me, miss, I know it's not funny

But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money
Why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels
You searchin' for an urchin who can give you ideals?
Burr, you disgust me

Ah, so you've discussed me
I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me!
I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution? I want a revelation

So listen to my declaration
"We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal"
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson (unh!)
I'ma compel him to include women in the sequel!
(Work!)
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!

Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!

History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be
In the greatest city in the world!
In the greatest city in the world!

'Cause I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine (look around, look around)
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane (history is happening in New York)
You want a revolution? (Look around, look around)
I want a revelation (New York)

So listen to my declaration (it's happening)
We hold these truths to be self-evident (look around, look around)
That all men are created equal (at how lucky we are to be alive right now)
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!

The Schuyler sisters!
(Work, work!)
We're looking for a mind at work! (Work, work!)
Hey! (Work, work!)

now I understand why I don't know the songs

 

[StormyPica]

All right, all right, that's what I'm talking about!
Now, everyone give it up for the maid of honor, Angelica Schuyler!
A toast to the groom!
To the groom, to the groom (to the groom)
To the bride!
To the bride. To the bride (to the bride)
From your sister
Angelica, Angelica, Angelica
Who is always by your side
(By your side, by your side)
To your union
To the union! (To the union)
To the revolution!
And the hope that you provide
You provide (You provide)
May you always (Always)
Be satisfied
(Rewind)
Rewind
Rewind
Helpless... Skies... skies...
Drownin' in 'em... Drowning
Rewind
I remember that night I just might (rewind!)
I remember that night I just might (rewind)
I remember that night,
I remember that...
I remember that night, I just might
Regret that night for the rest of my days
I remember those soldier boys
Tripping over themselves to win our praise
I remember that dreamlike candlelight
