Sid Meier‘s four-year-old grandson has a new favorite song and it’s one that is near and dear to fans of the legendary video game developer’s “Civilization” franchise.

“He is singing ‘Baba Yetu’ day and night. It’s like insane,” Meier tells Variety, noting the preschooler hasn’t actually played the turn-based strategy his grandfather is famous for, but is very familiar with its theme song. “I’m getting these videos of him singing ‘Baba Yetu’ along with the recording.”
