==The philosophers== [[File:Heidegger 4 (1960) cropped.jpg|180px|thumb|Heidegger in 1960]] [[File:John Stuart Mill by London Stereoscopic Company, c1870.jpg|180px|thumb|Mill in about 1870]] All the philosophers whom the song mentions were dead by the time it appeared, apart from [[Martin Heidegger]]. Philosophers mentioned in the song (in order): #[[Immanuel Kant]] (a real pissant who was very rarely stable) #[[Martin Heidegger]] (a boozy beggar who could think you under the table) #[[David Hume]] (able to out-consume G. W. F. Hegel) #[[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel]] (out-consumed by Hume) #[[Arthur Schopenhauer]] (in some versions also out-consumed by Hume) #[[Ludwig Wittgenstein]] (a beery swine who was just as "sloshed", i.e. drunk, as Schlegel) #[[Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel]] and/or [[August Wilhelm Schlegel]] (Wittgenstein is alleged be just as sloshed as either of them) #[[Friedrich Nietzsche]] (particularly knowledgeable about "the raising of the wrist") #[[Socrates]] (mentioned twice in each refrain: permanently "pissed", i.e. drunk) #[[John Stuart Mill]] (particularly ill after half a pint of shandy)<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-05-17 |title=Radio pick of the day |url=http://www.theguardian.com/media/2006/may/17/tvandradio.radio |access-date=2022-04-20 |website=the Guardian |language=en}}</ref> #[[Plato]] (said to regularly consume half a crate of whiskey daily) #[[Aristotle]] (a bugger for the bottle) #[[Thomas Hobbes]] (fond of his dram) #[[RenΓ© Descartes]] (a drunken fart; drinks, therefore he is) #[[Socrates]] (second mention) (particularly missed, noted as both a lovely little thinker, but a bugger when pissed)
