Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jimmy Fallon attempt to guess the Disney hit on ‘The Tonight Present’

As any career-minded individual will inform you, in case you work lengthy sufficient and exhausting sufficient, you may inevitably neglect about a number of issues alongside the best way.

Lin-Manuel Miranda had precisely that have throughout a Friday look on The Tonight Present with Jimmy Fallon. Fallon challenged the Hamilton creator to a Disney-themed sport of “One Second Songs,” a late present sport during which — you’ve got most likely figured this out already primarily based on the title alone — opponents should guess the title of a selected track after listening to a one-second clip.

The Disney theme launched a equally apparent twist: The competitors targeted solely on musical numbers from Disney motion pictures. Miranda had a strong displaying proper off the bat, appropriately recognizing a well-liked quantity from Moana for which he has a writing credit score. He and Fallon each had no troubles breezing by way of a simple stretch of clues to start out issues off. However then Miranda confronted his third clue.

The one-second clip has no phrases, just a few jangly slice of melody that sounds prefer it’s coming from a vibraphone. Miranda is straight away stumped and asks to listen to the clip once more. Nothing. Then Fallon tries to determine it out, and shortly fails. So he accepts defeat and asks for the reply. Because the acquainted melody begins to play and the lyrics “I can at all times hear him kind of mumbling and mumbling” play, Miranda buries his face in his arms. Clearly that is “We Do not Discuss About Bruno,” the chart-topping Encanto hit that Miranda wrote.

He is understandably embarrassed, however that clip is ridiculously non-specific and troublesome to decode in comparison with those that preceded it. The Tonight Present producers knew who their visitor was, too, so you may wager this was deliberately constructed to be a stumper. The result’s a really humorous and relatable TV second the place Miranda’s spectacular and ever-growing resume lastly catches up with him.
