Quinn: Yo! We're back with another edition of Hamilton Reacts to Stuff!

Jefferson: You mean we're not done with this [bleep!]?

Quinn: No, TJ, we're not! And watch the potty mouth! Anyway, we've got a request from LunarSundae

Laurens: What's a Spamilton?

Quinn: Actually, I'd never even heard of it until LunarSundae brought it to my attention. I did some research, and it turns out it's a musical that kinda... pokes fun at you guys a little.

Hamilton: So, like, they're making fun of me? In song form? That's... pretty hurtful, actually!

Herc: And who the heck writes a musical about historical events? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!

Quinn: Well, anyway, I'm gonna pick three or four of the songs, and we'll all react together. Sound good?

Jefferson: Let's get this [bleep!] over with.

Quinn: Okay. And TJ, five minutes in the corner for repeated uses of a potty mouth.

Jefferson: *goes to the corner angrily*

Quinn: This song is the first one on the track. It's called "Lin-Manuel as Hamilton"

Hamilton: Who?

Quinn: Doesn't matter. On with the show!

How does a whippersnapper student of rap

And a Latin, trapped in the middle of a Manhattan flat

Win Broadway accolades while other writers kiss the corporate dollar

Grow up to be a hip-hop op'ra scholar?

Hamilton: Wait, this isn't about me at all!

Angelica: Not everything is. Shh!

This blue-collar, shining beacon,

Puerto Rican got a lot farther

By being a lot smarter

By stretching rhymes harder

By being a trend-starter

By fourteen, they placed him in a school with a music charter

Hamilton: Okay, wait, he's Puerto Rican? Guess he's not so bad then. [Caribbean pride]

And every day while shows were being slaughtered on Broadway

They played, he stayed away

He struggled, but in an odd way

Inside, he was longing to build a better Broadway
