The Philosophers' Song
Branden 'Crash' Robinson
The lyrics to this song on ftp.uwp.edu do not exactly match those to the
sound file at sounds.sdsu.edu...are there two versions of this song, or did
someone screw up?
Here's the version I have, which I edited to show places of confusion...
The Philosopher's Song
(Monty Python)
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer (?) and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates himself was ---------------
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!
Can anyone correct this, or point me in the right direction? Gracias!

Yes, it's that time of year again, when everybody queries the discrepancies
between different versions. Just like my dear mama? Papa? Etc
adnausthingy. So here goes...
>Schopenhauer (?) and Hegel,
Or Wilhelm Freidrich (sp? :) Hegel
>Socrates himself was ---------------
permanently pissed, boy! Just like me. But only on Thursday nights.
Thursday is pension day you know.

could out consume Wilheilm Freidrich Hegel"
Whereas this is amended to "Schopenhauer and Hegel" when they sing it live
at the Hollywood Bowl and at Drury Lane.

erm... actually in the Wilheilm Freidrich Hagel version, I believe that the
first four philosophers don't... that is the names in the song, not the full
names (there's five names in there that don't contain an `S').
I may sound like I'm nit-picking, and I am so f*** off <G>
