"I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home" is a song written by Dewayne Blackwell and recorded by American country music artist David Frizzell. It was released in April 1982 as the first single from the album The Family's Fine, But This One's All Mine. "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home" was David Frizzell's only number one on the country chart as a solo artist. The single went to number one for one week and spent a total of 14 weeks in country music's top 40. The song also became an unexpected mainstream pop hit in Canada, peaking at No. 20 on the RPM Top Singles chart (in addition to peaking at No. 3 on the magazine's Top Country Tracks chart). The song talks of a wife who grows tired of her husband's barhopping (and spending his entire paycheck doing so). But instead of ending the marriage, she comes up with a unique plan – she decides to redecorate their house into a bar, and play the part of bartender/waitress as an inducement to get her husband to stay at home (and possibly bring his friends along with him, so they can spend their paychecks).

While he recovers from his hangover the following morning, she will deposit the proceeds in their bank account. ^ "David Frizzell – Chart history" Billboard Hot Country Songs for David Frizzell.What'd I Miss Lyrics How does the bastard orphan Immigrant decorated war vet Unite the colonies through more debt?

What did I miss? Mr. Jefferson, welcome home Sir, you’ve been off in Paris for so long! So what did I miss? About “What'd I Miss” Daveed Diggs’s Lafayette leaves for France in Act I, and he returns to the stage in Act II as Thomas Jefferson, who was absent for large swathes of the Revolution and the early moments of the United States, having served as Governor of Virginia during the war and Minister to France for much of the 1780s. Here, he asks the audience cheekily, “What did I miss?” The entirety of Act I, dude. Get on our level. This song, and Thomas Jefferson’s style throughout the show, has a different sound than many of the other characters.

Jefferson was older than Hamilton’s cohort by over a decade, and he has very different, and somewhat backwards priorities. To reflect that, his songs draw on old-school African American genres like ragtime, boogie-woogie and other Southern jazz flavors that pay homage to his Virginian loyalties. There are also pretty wonderfully apparent strains of funk & soul music, the genres that helped birth the hip hop movement embodied by Hamilton and his friends. His major musical inspirations were Gil Scott-Heron and Outkast. There’s also a lot of Cab Calloway—the real grandfather of rap—in there. Miranda, on the show’s characterization of Thomas Jefferson: The leaps they took from the music into the other departments are so incredible. I grinned so hard when I saw Andy’s staging for [What’d I Miss] at first, and they introduced Jefferson and he’s walking down the staircase and everyone’s scrubbing the floor. They got it, before I even had to say anything. Like, yep — there’s Jefferson, talking eloquently about freedom while a slave shakes his hand and he goes like this [looks disgusted].

That’s Jefferson, wrote more eloquently about freedom than anybody, but didn’t live it. Jefferson’s outrageous style is based off of Morris Day, of The Time. Lin-Manuel, how did you get inspiration for Jefferson's costume Paul Tazewell designed the costumes for Hamilton, along with the help of Lin-Manuel Miranda. Lin knew from the beginning that he wanted Hamilton to wear green, the purple of Thomas Jefferson’s suit is a sharp contrast to that, hence contrasting their personalities. His suit is also more extravagant, emphasizing the wealth of Jefferson. Lastly, dye is often thought of a product slaves produce (hence the boycott of dyed clothing amongst abolitionists), and the purple dye would have needed a lot of manual labor to produce, and hence the color shows Thomas Jefferson’s close relation with slaves. Purple is also a color linked to royalty and the aristocracy, which Thomas certainly acts like he is a part of. Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
