Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

Inconsequential lyrics from Hamilton that I can't get out of my head

There are plenty of lyrics in Hamilton that deserve to be quoted and adored and repurposed in everyday life. This post is not about those. In the grand scheme of the musical, the lyrics below are basically throwaway lines (to the extent that such a thing exists in Hamilton). They don't mean much. But I love them.

"I can't believe we're here with him!" (from The Election of 1800, my current favorite song)

"G** you're a fox!" (from Blow Us All Away)

The "meet him inside" refrain from the song of the same title. Is it supposed to sound like a "ooooh, you are in sooo much trouble!!!!" line? Because it does.

"I was chosen for the constitutional convention!" (from Non-Stop)

All the "hey"s in A Winter's Ball + each and every one of the four "so"s in Satisfied.

Every time Hamilton mimics Jefferson in Cabinet Battle #1.

Side note: I feel like everyone loves The Room Where it Happens. I...don't. It's ok, and I recognize the genius, etc. of it, but it is too jazz-handsy for me.
