    I don't know. Why isn't that name mentioned in this song?

    Almost indecipherable. Wasn't that part of the enigma code?

    I often had difficulty in deciphering the lyrics of that song. It must be those fake Australian accents. Lol:)

    The lyrics are:

    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 Nietzche couldn't teach ya
    'bout the raising of the wrist
    Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed

    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 whisky 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.
