Okay how about a serious musical now. Ragtime. And if you aren't familiar with that one, default to Hamilton.
Iām not familiar with Ragtime so Iāll go with Hamilton.
Funniest lyrics: āBurr, you disgust me / ah, so youāve discussed me / Iām a trust fund baby you can trust meā
Most relatable lyrics: āI am the one thing in life I can control / I am inimitable, I am an originalā
Most profound lyrics: gotta be ālife doesnāt discriminate between the sinners and the saints / it takes and it takes and it takes / and we keep living anywayā or ālet me tell you what I wish Iād know / when I was young and dreamed of glory / you have no control / who lives, who dies, who tells your storyā
Prettiest lyrics: ātake a break and get away / run away with us for the summer letās go upstateā
Most uplifting lyrics: the entire ārise up when youāre living on your kneesā part to pretty much the end of My Shot tbh I get more and more hype as the song goes on. By the time weāre at āIām past patiently waitingā Iām fucking ready to GO like I could fly or I could kill a man. Lin did that for us.
Most depressing lyrics: Itās Quiet Uptown. especially as performed by Kelly Clarkson.
Character with the best lines: Angelica or Jefferson
also thereās no category for āholy shit that was amazingā so Iām just gonna shoutout the following:
- āwe need some spies on the inside / some kingās men who might let some things slideā
- āso Iām the oldest and the wittiest / and the gossip in New York City is insidious / and Alexander is penniless / that doesnāt mean I want him any lessā
- āHamilton faces an endless uphill climb / he has something to prove / he has nothing to lose / Hamiltonās pace is relentless, he wastes no time / what is it like in his shoesā
- āwe will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it / itās either that or meet the business end of a bayonetā
- āI like that Aaron Burr / I canāt believe weāre here with him / he seems approachable / like you could grab a beer with himā
