So I stumbled (not drunkenly) across [this song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_WRFJwGsbY) on YouTube–it’s a recording of the Philosopher’s Song sketch at the Monty Python live appearance at the Hollywood Bowl, and it’s one of my very favourite bits ever.

_Emmanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable,  
Heidegger, Heidegger, was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table…_

Anyways. I’m not sure if this belongs in Cafe Society or not, but what do you think if we made up our own drinking song (set to the tune in the Monty Python song)?  
_clears throat, raises glass_

(Ooo. I forgot to add: using Doper names instead of philosophers’ names.

Obviously the influence of alcohol, that.)
