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. David Hume, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Wittgenstein, Nietzche, Socrates, John Stuart Mill, Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, and Rene Descartes all get torched.
Eric Idle wrote this and sang lead. Most of the group's fans feel that Idle was the best vocalist of the group.
