Welcome to a new week! Hope you’re ready to dive into a whole new adventure! Although, hold on, it does seem like there’s a bit of work piling up already. Wa-hey, looks like you have a few missed calls. Wait. It’s the afternoon already. Remember how you said you were going to clean the house this weekend? Isn’t the deadline for that thing tomorrow? Oh, it looks like your desk has now caught fire and you’re running shirtless into the street, screaming through a mouthful of raw cookie dough.

In related news: Monday afternoon is as good a time as any to inhale a dozen videos of Tony Award-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda singing songs from your childhood. The Hamilton creator, who is currently contributing original music to the new film Moana, took over Disney’s Instagram overnight and the results were pretty great. After posting a few photos of himself looking confused and drinking coffee (16,000 likes for a shitty styrofoam cup, take that everyone), Miranda belted out a few impromptu Disney classics.

Here are some of the best:

‘One Jump Ahead’ from Aladdin

‘Gaston’ from Beauty and the Beast (featuring The Rock)

Not for nothing, but Gaston would have been 100 percent more likely if he were played by The Rock.
