Nominator: TheArkOfTurus (3/10)


I know it's stupid and childish of me, but I have a tendency to get attached to people who've done voice acting work on shows that I like:

I still get excited whenever I see Jon Lovitz pop up on anything due to an undying loyalty to The Critic. Did you know ABC had a terrible singing show featuring celebrities impersonating other celebrities? "Sing Your Face Off". It lasted three whole weeks back in 2014. I watched that show obsessively because Jon Lovitz was on it and, no matter how stupid it was, IT HAD JON LOVITZ on it.

I don't actively seek out his work, but I still perk up whenever Jason Alexander appears. Duckman was actually an important show to me, so I still want to squeal whenever I see him.

And other actors and actresses too, blah blah blah, you get the idea. I'm actually a pretty big fan of the Ducktales reboot, in which Lin-Manuel Miranda has a recurring role as the new Gizmoduck. And at around three minutes into this song, his voice becomes unmistakably that of Fenton/Gizmoduck.

I had a hard time not squee-ing at that point. It's like, "Look! Look, look, look, look! It's Gizmoduck! LOOK! *SQUEE!*" and I don't care how much that makes me sound like a two year old, I was just so excited and happy at that point. I don't think any song in this contest brought me as much joy as that one moment.

...also there's the usual responses. Happy for the chance to listen to a genre of music I don't ever hear, history lesson kinda nice, blah blah blah. The song is great enough that I'm sure it would have hit the top 10 even without that connection, but it may have been the deciding factor that pushed it over the last two songs.

[FINAL NOTES: I can't decide if I want to listen to the rest of Hamilton or not. I'm sure it's amazing, but that many historical songs in a row sounds very...difficult to get through in rapid succession. I think I'd get more out of it just going with one song a day instead of binging the entire thing all at once.]
