If you work long enough and hard enough, you will forget about a few things along the way.
During his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Lin-Manuel Miranda had that experience. The Hamilton creator was challenged to a Disney-themed game of "One Second Songs", a late show game in which competitors must guess the title of the song.
The competition was focused on musical numbers from Disney movies. Miranda correctly spotted a popular number from the movie, which he has a writing credit for. Both of them had no problems breezing through the clues. Miranda faced his third clue.
The one-second clip has no words, but it sounds like it is coming from a vibraphone. Miranda asked to hear the clip again. Nothing. Then he tries to figure it out. He accepts defeat and asks for an answer. Miranda buries his face in his hands as the familiar melody starts to play. The chart-topping Encanto hit that Miranda wrote is clearly what this is.
He is understandably embarrassed, but that clip is not specific or easy to decode compared to the ones before it. This was built to be a stumper because the Tonight Show producers knew who their guest was. The result is a very funny and common TV moment where Miranda finally catches up with him.
