I guess that Lin Manuel Miranda can finally say he has made it. He has had his work turned into a Weird Al polka.

I never realized how much I'd love a clip of people reacting to an Al polka for the first time, especially when they predict specific parts of the song ("down down down down down, HEY!"). Could you imagine a world where he had never recorded a song in a college bathroom and ended up an architect, designing warehouses for a living?

"Normal" People: Weird Al is just a spoof musician, he doesn't actually have musical talent or technical ability. Weird Al: I'm sorry, let me sing this complicated bar 3-part harmony that was impressive when three professional singers sang it. If that doesn't impress you, I submit a speed rap in 5-part harmony.
