Fans of Hamilton need to hit play on "Weird Al" Yankovic's bonkers new medley.

Dubbed "The Hamilton Polka," Yankovic's new release is a mashup of hits from the Broadway musical, with takes on "My Shot," "Wait For It," "The Schuyler Sisters," and more.

It's the next chapter in Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda's year-long #Hamildrops project, which sees new Hamilton content dropping every month.

The first taste came in December, with a recording of "Ben Franklin's Song," by The Decemberists, and was followed by Nas' "Wrote My Way Out" featuring Aloe Blacc, Dave East and Miranda himself.
