Does anyone have the "clean" version of the Hamilton soundtrack?

[Anonymous]

Does it have the R rated words bleeped out, or do they actually change the words?

Thanks.

there is such a thing? I had no idea. I've been letting my kids hear the swear words. I figure it's worth it for the historical knowledge they're getting...

[Anonymous]

OP here. Me too! We have the original unedited version and my kids know the words they're not allowed to use. I'm thinking of giving the soundtrack as a gift to a family with kids of all ages and I don't want to offend them or have them not listen to it as a family. And my mom would probably not like the R rated words.

That said, I like the original version because the cursing is clever!

Well, the Amazon reviews suggest that the soundtrack was only minimally "cleaned up." Some words were sound-dropped, but there's still a lot of damns, and you can't really take out the word bastard or whore, given the man's life story.

Thanks. I'll read the amazon reviews. I figure they'll just have to live with bastard and whore, but they might not want the 8 year old to hear the M-F'in part.

I don't care about the cursing. The part I have trouble with vis-à-vis my seven-year-old is "It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets."

Forward that part. Those are lyrics... They don't change the lyrics.

I love that lyric - it took me forever to figure out what he's saying - and I think my 9 yo doesn't get it anyway - but even if he did - it's no worse than the entire tenor of Say No to This:

Then I said, “well, I should head back home,”
She turned red, she led me to her bed
Let her legs spread and said:

[MARIA]
Stay?

[HAMILTON]
Hey…

[MARIA]
Hey…

[HAMILTON]
That’s when I began to pray:
Lord, show me how to
Say no to this
I don’t know how to
Say no to this

And THAT you can absolutely understand. We paused the tape and said BOYS - THIS is why you should NEVER CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE or girlfriend...

It is a good lesson. You give in to temptation and then in your efforts to atone for it post well written flyers all over town and that kills your political career.

There are also a couple of close calls with the F word.
I know this topic is about keeping it clean, but the lyrics write this in so cleverly and I laugh every time I hear it!

So...you haven't seen the show or listened to the soundtrack. Because, yeah, it's pretty great.

You can't really tell Hamilton's life story without including Maria Reynolds. The whole point is that he was unable to control himself and it made him vulnerable to blackmail and destroyed his very promising career. Not a bad lesson for a kid, really--your bad choices can follow you your whole life, so do your best to make good ones. Also, immediate gratification isn't the way to go.

Agree with PP!

Of course, when we told my 5 year old we were going to a fair, he said, "Hamilton had a fair!!"

So I had to explain the difference.

Hey, I'd rather have to talk about what words like bastard and affairs are to my kids through the musical Hamilton than in just about any other way.

PP at 14:49, you (and your kid) just made my day!

Nowadays? You do know this story dates from the 1700s, yes? And people were just as lewd and crude in their discussion of this episode back then. Which you would know if you knew anything about this period in American history.
