The Election of 1800
[00:00.84] The election of eighteen-hundred
[00:04.63] Can we get back to politics?
[00:06.89] yo
[00:07.64] Every action has its equal, opposite reaction
[00:11.18] John Adams shat the bed, I love the guy, but he's in traction
[00:14.69] Poor Alexander Hamilton, he is missing in action
[00:18.46] So now I'm facing (Aaron Burr) with his own faction
[00:21.97] He's very attractive in the North, New Yorkers like his chances
[00:25.49] He's not very forthcoming on any particular stances
[00:29.01] Ask him a question, it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances
[00:32.52] And they say I'm a Francophile, at least they know I know where France is
[00:36.04] Thomas that's the problem, see, they see Burr as a less extreme you (ha)
[00:39.81] You need to change course, a key endorsement might redeem you
[00:43.57] Who did you have in mind?
[00:45.34] Don't laugh
[00:47.08] Who is it?
[00:47.84] You used to work on the same staff
[00:49.84] (What?) it might be nice, it might be nice
[00:54.61] To get Hamilton on your side
[00:57.63] It might be nice, it might be nice
[01:01.90] To get Hamilton on your side
[01:04.66] Talk less (Burr!)
[01:06.41] Smile more (Burr!)
[01:08.17] Don't let 'em know what you're against or what you're for (Burr!)
[01:11.69] Shake hands with him (Burr!)
[01:13.44] Charm her (Burr!)
[01:15.20] It's eighteen hundred, ladies, tell your husbands vote for (Burr!)
[01:18.73] I don't like Adams
[01:19.96] Well, he's gonna lose, that's just defeatist
[01:22.48] And Jefferson
[01:23.24] In love with France
[01:24.24] Yeah, he's so elitist
[01:25.99] I like that Aaron Burr
[01:27.25] I can't believe we're here with him
[01:29.52] He seems approachable?
[01:30.77] Like you could grab a beer with him
[01:32.56] Dear Mr. Hamilton
[01:34.81] Your fellow Fed'ralists would like to know how you'll be voting
[01:38.83] (It's quiet uptown) dear Mr. Hamilton
[01:41.84] John Adams doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting?
[01:45.86] (It's quiet uptown) Jefferson or Burr, Jefferson or Burr? we know it's lose-lose
[01:50.37] Jefferson or Burr? but if you had to choose
[01:53.89] Dear Mr. Hamilton
[01:56.14] John Adams doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting?
[01:59.91] But if you had to choose
[02:01.17] Well, if it isn't Aaron Burr, sir?
[02:03.93] Alexander
[02:04.68] You've created quite a stir, sir
[02:06.94] I'm going door to door
[02:08.20] You're openly campaigning?
[02:09.71] Sure
[02:10.23] That's new
[02:10.97] Honestly, it's kind of draining
[02:13.23] Burr
[02:13.48] Sir!
[02:14.00] Is there anything you wouldn't do?
[02:15.78] No I'm chasing what I want, and you know what?
[02:18.04] What?
[02:19.29] I learned that from you
[02:22.53] If you had to choose
[02:23.79] If you had to choose
[02:24.79] It's a tie
[02:25.80] If you had to choose
[02:27.06] If you had to choose
[02:28.31] It's up to the delegates
[02:29.57] If you had to choose
[02:30.83] If you had to choose
[02:31.83] It's up to Hamilton
[02:33.10] If you had to choose
[02:34.35] If you had to choose (Jefferson or Burr?)
[02:35.86] If you had to choose, choose (Jefferson or Burr?)
[02:38.12] Yo (oh!)
[02:39.38] The people are asking to hear my voice (oh!)
[02:42.91] For the country is facing a difficult choice (oh!)
[02:46.67] And if you were to ask me who I'd promote (oh!)
[02:50.69] Jefferson has my vote (oh!)
[02:53.71] I have never agreed with Jefferson once (oh!)
[02:57.22] We have fought on like seventy-five different fronts (oh!)
[03:00.75] But when all is said and all is done
[03:03.29] Jefferson has beliefs, Burr has none (ooh!)
[03:06.81] Well, I'll be damned
[03:08.57] Well, I'll be damned
[03:11.83] Hamilton's on your side
[03:13.84] Well, I'll be damned
[03:15.61] Well, I'll be damned
[03:19.13] And?
[03:19.38] You won in a landslide!
[03:21.39] Congrats on a race well-run
[03:24.91] I did give you a fight
[03:27.17] Uh-huh?
[03:28.17] I look forward to our partnership
[03:30.43] Our partnership?
[03:31.68] As your vice-President
[03:32.95] Ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah, right
[03:35.71] You hear this guy?
[03:37.46] Man openly campaigns against me, talkin' bout "I look forward to our partnership"
[03:41.99] It is crazy that the guy who comes in second gets to be vice-President
[03:45.51] Ooh, you know what, we can change that, you know why? (why?) 'cause I'm the President!
[03:51.55] Burr, when you see Hamilton, thank him for the endorsement
