Because You Can Never Get Too Much Polka in Bad Times

The Casts of Hamilton Perform the Hamilton Polka (previously).

Also: Avengers, Right Hand Man with accordion accompaniment, 'Weird Al' does What'd I Miss (plus other celebrities sing other songs!) (sequel video) ... and finally, best for last: Alfred Matthew Yankovic.

If you'd asked me what song more celebrities would have picked to sing more than any other, I don't think I would have picked either "Guns And Ships" or "Dear Theodosia," but all the renditions were lovely.

(I'd have gone with "You'll Be Back" since it doesn't have as many words to stumble over or forget!)

I want the rest of it!

(The clip of Lin, Weird Al, and Jimmy Fallon lip-syncing to the track on The Tonight Show seems to be gone. The interview is still up though. Bah.)

Tangent - Brian James D'Arcy, Jonathan Groff, and Andrew Rannells et al have all given great performances as King George, but one look at the British cast's George and I'm just like "Yup, that is what England looks like on a face."

Wow, that Avengers one is really poorly executed. That's like, 1982-level vidding.

It’s all accordion to how you look at it.

I thought that read “The cats of Hamilton....” and I thought “MetaFilter’s perfect post has arrived.”

"What'd I Miss" works really well with the accordion.
