Cole Jenkins's video: Green Eggs and Hamilton PARODY feat Heather Traska

Hey guys! I hope you like this parody of “Alexander Hamilton" from the musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda, inspired by the tales of Dr. Seuss. FEATURING Heather Traska, the original queen of One Woman Disney a Cappella. ____________ Cole Jenkins and Heather Traska provide a beautiful celebration of two extraordinary American Storytellers in this parody of "Alexander Hamilton" from the musical Hamilton. Juxtaposition of the childhood stories of Dr. Seuss surrounded by the haunting hip-hop rhythms of Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jenkins and Traska craft a hilarious and moving narrative that criticizes American politics, deforestation, totalitarianism, rape culture, prejudice, and consumerism. Jenkins and Traska leave no stone unturned as they use nostalgic childhood figures to paint a gruesome picture of modern America through the veil of satire.    Business Inquiries: colejenkinsmusic@gmail.com Credits: Vocals: Cole Jenkins, Heather Traska Instruments: Cole Jenkins Lyrics: Cole Jenkins, Heather Traska Arrangement: Cole Jenkins Audio Mixing & Mastering: Cole Jenkins Costume Design: Heather Traska Director(s): Cole Jenkins & Heather Traska Cinematography: Heather Traska Video Editing: Heather Traska FOLLOW ME (Cole Jenkins): INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/colejenkinsmusic YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/colejenkinsmusic TWITTER: https://twitter.com/coleajenkins FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/coleajenkins SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/colejenkinsmusic FOLLOW HER (Heather Traska): INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/heathertraska YOUTUBE: http://https://www.youtube.com/heathertraska TWITTER: http://twitter.com/ #!/heathertraska FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/heathertraska Lyrics: [CAT IN THE HAT] How does a biped, tom cat, son of an author and a doctor, Stuck serving pancakes at the IHOP on Pop Street Go above the call of duty, end up going door to door Selling green eggs and ham for his employer? [THE LORAX] The thneed dealer, greedy Once-ler who chopped the truffala Brought a lot of venture capitalists and startups Deforestation sponsors made me the trees’ speaker devotee, So I will not support your breakfast commerce. [YERTLE THE TURTLE] And oh my God this con, the nerve to come to Sala-Ma-Sond, Across the pond,he smuggled his colored pork in to try See, turtles are the superior race, so sir King Yertle is the one who rules, in-quires, and orders [HORTON] Now I know my new views clash with what sour kangaroo and the eagle Vlad Vladikoff proclaimed But a person’s a person no matter how small or restrained And it’s somewhere in this plain, a clover that can exclaim [CAT IN THE HAT] Well the elephant declined, he said “I’m a little busy, Sam” Horton’s preoccupied saving Whoville from the Wickershams Yertle and the Lorax won’t give him the time of day, But the world is gonna try this plate. What’s your name, man? [SAM-I-AM] I am Sam, Sam-I-am. x2 Do you like green eggs and ham? Have a plate! x2 [CINDY-LOU WHO] When I was two the Grinch stole it Advent, presents with him One year later comes Sam with his ham, Desperate on Christmas, he asked, “Miss, would you try this dish?” Your red hat looks real nice, but you ain’t saint nick” [THE GRINCH] I was a consumerist like you ‘til my heart grew times three Used to see things differently now it’s down with the bourgeoisie I’m just saying Sammy, stop thinking just ‘bout yourself I won’t be eating unless you’re feeding every Who here and myself [CAT IN THE HAT, COMPANY] I would've been so upset would’nt you, with Cindy and the Whos And suddenly snubbed by Horton too he had to leave the Jungle of Nool Facing hurdles… Yertle, with hunger for (axis) power   Stacking shells until they fell and bowed out No more Führer Ignoring everything that the Lorax cautioned Hoping that somehow he'd see his business expand, He’d exhausted his resources, didn’t go how he had planned but in Whoville they will try your food Sam! [COMPANY, SAM-I-AM] In Whoville they will try your food Sam (Have a plate!) x2 In Whoville they will try your food Sam In Whoville (Whoville!) Have a plate! [COMPANY] I am Sam, Sam-I-am We don’t wanna try your rancid food You don’t understand ‘no’ And maybe that should be a crime Oh, I am Sam, Sam-I-am When our parents tell the tale of you Will they know that you represent A misconception of consent? You use peer pressure to ascend, oh   [CAT IN THE HAT, COMPANY] He’s walking door to door right now, let’s see if someone tries them Folks in the Wubbulous World say that they despise him He wanted a promotion but I’m pretty sure he’s fired [LORAX/GRINCH] We cautioned him [THING 1/THING 2] We didn’t talk to him [HORTON] Huh? [MAYZIE/CINDY LOU WHO/GERTRUDE] (Collective disgust) [JOEY] And me… I’m the damn fool that tried them [COMPANY] Maybe no one likes green eggs and ham, for Seuss’ sake! [CAT IN THE HAT] What’s your name man? [COMPANY] I am Sam, Sam-I-am!
