Bruce's Philosophers Song Lyrics

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 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

Bruce's Philosophers Song

This is a comedy song about how most Western philosophies were formed. It asserts that most of the people who came up with these philosophies were drunk.

Eric Idle wrote this and sang lead. Most of the group's fans feel that Idle was the best vocalist of the group. (thanks, Jeff - Haltom City, TX, for above 2)

The Spam Song Lyrics

The Spam Song

Spam is a brand name of luncheon meat. It's name is a contraction of the words "spiced ham." Years later, the term "Spam" was used to describe junk e-mail.

This song first appeared on the the 25th episode of the TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus, which was titled, appropriately enough, "Spam." On the show, a group of Vikings attempt to sing this song while Eric Idle and Graham Chapman (in drag) are ordering breakfast from Terry Jones, who recites the menu on which almost everything contains some spam. Terry Jones silences the Vikings until the end of the sketch, until he gives in and they sing the full version. (thanks, Connor - Stonington, CT)

Assisting the group on background vocals were The Fred Tomlinson Singers. This group worked with Monty Python on several other songs as well.

The group was known more for their comedy than for their music. All of their movies, however, featured music written by members of the band. Members of the group were: Eric Idle, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam.

There are only three different words in this song. In alphabetical order these are: Lovely, Spam, and Wonderful. (thanks, Jeff - Haltom City, TX, for all above)
