Behold, "Weird Al" Yankovic's Video for 'The Hamilton Polka'

In case you needed a good laugh today, Weird Al delivers once again. On July 4th, the parody-song king posted a video to go along with his “Hamilton Polka”. He uses clips from the Disney+ film and the results are just fabulous. You can watch it here:

Back in 2018, Weird Al and Miranda spoke with Rolling Stone about their friendship and how the “Hamilton Polka” came about. Polka medleys have, of course, been a key tenet of Weird Al’s career, and as a result, Miranda said he was rather nervous when he asked Yankovic to craft one for his musical.

“Listen, as a long-time Weird Al fan, that’s a scary ask to make,” Miranda said. “I also know there’s only been two other cases where he’s devoted an entire polka medley to a particular artist. There’s ‘Hot Rocks Polka’ on the UHF soundtrack and the Queen polka [‘Bohemian Polka’]. I cannot presume to be in that rarified air as the Rolling fuckin’ Stones! But I asked.”

Hamilton can now be seen on Disney+, click here for our review of the streaming film.
