A cappella group Eclipse 6 has just thrown their hat into the ring of Hamilton spin-offs and parodies with a timely Rudolph-themed spoof, "Hamildolph (An American Christmas Story)," featuring new lyrics to "Alexander Hamilton" and "Right-Hand Man" from the hit Broadway musical. Check it out below!
Here's a sampling of their clever lyrics:
"How does a young buck reindeer, one who was constantly
Mocked and dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Island full of misfit toys, where nobody could tell you what his name is,
Grow up to be the one who's the most famous?
The same reindeer, who led Santa through the fog an'
Went globe trottin' by not lettin' fear stop him,
Got treated like a dog an'
That made it a tough slog an'
He was green: he barely had antlers upon his noggin'.
And every day his playmates berated him by calling him
Names and it was lame, he struggled and kept his guard up.
Inside he was tired of hearin' the same old line, he
Started making use of his nose-it was super shiny.
Well, the word got around, they said, "This deer is insane, man!"
Wasn't very long before the word got to the Big Man.
All the other reindeer used to ban you from their games, but
The world's gonna know your name. What's your name, man?
Rudolph Red-Nosed Reindeer
My name is Rudolph Red-Nosed Reindeer
And Santa came to me one foggy year
On Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve"
