This isn’t the first time that Ramaswamy has rapped the song in public. In 2006, while attending his senior year at Harvard University the entrepreneur also vocalized the lyrics, this time under the alter ego “Da Vek,” reportedThe Harvard Crimson.
“I think that children should be forced to listen to it,” Ramaswamy told his school at the time, “the edited version, of course.”
