I also had a question, before I nominate more songs. The rules say that musical songs are welcome as long as you don't need to have watched the musical. Now, Hamilton has a lot of exposition, where most songs are their own scenes and can stand alone.
I was thinking of nominating these in particular in addition to Gun & Ships, and to me they are stand alone and can't think of any reason why they couldn't be included (since they're the second and third song so also no knowledge of canon is needed to understand them) - Aaron Burr, Sir - My Shot
I would also be interested in nominating Non-Stop, since I feel like the song also stands alone, however they do make references to incidents in the musical, but not ones that need external context since they refer to things explicitly e.g. "we won the war."
Also, I would understand if even if they are allowed, I would have to request a song that isn't from the Hamilton musical
