7/2/23: Silly Sundays “You’ll Be Back”

It’s Sunday! It’s the day of rest. Or is it? For those of us who work through the week, Sunday represents the last day of freedom from work as Monday looms over us. Those in food service are still reeling from Saturday and are preparing to deal with the busiest day that everyone requests off. People in retail still have crowds on Sundays too. All around, it’s kind of a stressful day.

So Sundays on the CD 92.9 blog are going to be just a little bit silly. We’re trying to remind you not to take life too seriously. We’ve got a funny song for you that we might not be able to play on the air.

Today on Silly Sunday, we’re celebrating the 4th of July with a track from Hamilton.

Remember the summer of 2020 when the only thing that happened was Hamilton dropping on Disney+ on the third of July? Obviously, I’m joking about it being the only thing that happened, but it was nice that everyone had a chance to unite over a musical and it was one heck of a way to spend your 4th of July. That’s what I did on July 4th, 2020 anyway. There’s not much overt comedy in the play, but “You’ll Be Back” is a refreshing moment of comedy. Lin-Manuel Miranda used a ’60s Motown/British Invasion sound to create a contrast between the old British ways and the new, fresh American hip-hop. It works for the show and it works as a song. If you haven’t seen Hamilton, this is the song King George III sings to America after independence is declared. Enjoy.
