"Going to buy in Bulgaria, going to buy in Bulgaria" and so on. If the time is right, perhaps it's time to dig up that late night set of scrawls again!

I don't intend to replicate him in doing a rap video any time soon but a part of me admires him and his colleagues for doing it. They put a lot of work in and it has gone viral with nearly 100,000 more hits since yesterday. This is probably focused on students and people with at least a tangential interest in economics. Many of these guys may not have heard of Hayek before and I'm sure there are probably thousands of people now who are interested in reading more about the Hayekian and Keynesian approaches on the back of it. @Al Apologies. Though you may need to question what part of the words academic, economists and rapping led you to form the expectations that created your disappointment. The fact that you watched it all is intriguing from a behavioural perspective. Russ Roberts has been a legend in bringing economics debate to a wider audience.
