I went through and made a table of words/phrases that appeared in multiple songs then picked one unique word/phrase for each song to guess. There are 5 answers that aren’t exact phrases but if you’re nit-picky like me you can read below to see why I think they still fit the quiz. Anyway, hope you enjoy if you watch it! I got into Hamilton years late so hopefully other people still love it.
SPOILERS FOR QUIZ ANSWERS BELOW
Right hand man: Dying is easy young man, living is harder.
Cabinet Battle #1: Winning was easy young man, governing’s harder.
Songs with ‘How does....’: Alexander Hamilton, A Winter’s Ball, Guns and Ships, What’d I miss, The Adams Administration, Your Obedient Servant.
Right Hand Man: We are OUTgunned, OUTmanned, OUTnumbered, OUTplanned
Stay Alive: OUTrun, OUTrun, OUTlast, OUTlast
Farmer Refuted: For the Revolution
The story of tonight, Satisfied: To the Revolution
You’ll be back: Remember that we made an arrangement when you went away
What comes next? : I thought that we made an arrangement when you went away
There’s also 2 others that technically aren’t the same but that’s just because I added 1 extra line to make it less challenging.
What comes next: All alone, across the sea
I know him: All alone, watch them run
He says ‘All alone’ so similarly both times that it seemed too demanding to guess just based on that.
The story of tonight: Raise a glass to the four of us, tomorrow there’ll be more of us
The story of tonight reprise: Raise a glass to the four of us, to the newly not poor of us
Again same person says the same line, so added the 2nd half to make it more doable.

This game made me realize I just know the lyrics and not the titles lmaooo
-
I confidently said "The song where Phillip died"
-
For half of them I was just like “okay so this is the one where this happens” like with stay alive reprise I went “this is the one where Philip dies”
-
My logic for story of tonight was “they don’t sound drunk enough for this to be the reprise” 😂
-
Guns and Ships came up and i said confidently "The Lafayette"
-
For Meet Me Inside, I just shouted "OH THATS WHEN HAMILTON HAS DADDY ISSUES!" And my dad (who is also a hamilfan) turned to me like "Yeah I think that's right"
-
My biggest struggle was that the Spotify recording sounds slightly different than the Disney plus version (which makes sense)
-
I yelled “The Reynold’s Pamphlet” at first for the Hurricane song 💀
-
Me pausing every countdown to sing the entire song but still not being able to come up with the title for half of them 😂
-
Me: “Lauren’s interlude” *tomorrow they’ll be more of us me- Me: Jefferson scream when he finds out burr is Vice President
-
As a person who can remember the whole first act of Hamilton word for word and not her algebra equations, I’m pleased with my result :)
-
You know you're a Hamilnerd when you hear "James Madison" then say it's from What'd I Miss?
-
11:17 I’m sorry but I cannot get over the fact that mulligan just shoved Lafayette for no reason during the toast 💀
-
it’s so funny i memorised the tone the actors sing in which song
-
I learned several things from this video: 1) even though I haven't listened to Hamilton in over a year, I still know almost all the lyrics and could correctly continue the line 99% of the time 2) the filmed version sounds different enough from the soundtrack that it's significantly harder for me to recognize the songs 3) remembering the lyrics and what event they're related to does not actually mean I remember the song titles

Daveed diggs as Thomas Jefderson has the energy of a golden retriever puppy and I love it
-
The one thing I’ve learned from this video is that I can memorize song titles and lyrics but not correctly pronounce “Reprise”
-
I think what made this harder was that it was audio clips from the recording of the musical, not the official soundtrack that you would find on like spotify, because I’ve listened to that one so much I’ve gotten used to the way things are said and the vocal inflections in the soundtrack that trying to figure out the specific song from a different recording is a bit difficult lol (also I didn’t really keep track, but I knew what most of them were and could like tell you the context, I am just terrible at remembering song titles so I didn’t get a lot of the titles in time)

THE ONE YOU CHOSE FOR WASHINGTON ON YOUR SIDE SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME IN ELECTION OF 1800 AND THAT TRIPPED ME OUT BECAUSE I STILL KNEW WHICH SONG IT WAS
-
I love how I guessed "History has its eyes on you" simply because the breath he takes after the line-
